Name that Costume

The KG at Red's school had an end-of-year show for the parents. It was adorable to watch him sing and dance with his class.

The week before they sent out two letters informing the parents that there would only be room for two guests of each KG student. That meant extended family, siblings, etc. would not be able to attend the show. Then they sent home the actual ticket and it said on the ticket that it would only admit 2 adults. However, you can guess what happened the day of the show. People were showing up with siblings, grandparents, nannies, etc. The poor guys at the door taking tickets were trying to explain the policy that had been set but obnoxious elitist parents thought they were above the rules and didn't have to abide by the standards. Well, ok. Truth be told. We had lost our ticket but I thought it wouldn't be a problem because we were abiding by the rules and it was only Todd and I who attended even though the other kids wanted to go. (Petey got to go because she worked as an usher for the show.) Once we got to the door and saw the chaos I just knew they would think we were lying. "Yeah, right, you lost your ticket." Just as we got to the door the principal came up to try to help out with the chaos and she let us in no problem. Whew! We didn't have to be ones to cause a scene and look like obnoxious elitist parents who can't follow the rules.




Here he is in his costume. We paid 20JD for this. (About $30.) I have never been one for buying expensive costumes--even for Halloween. This is where I'm a little old-fashioned, I guess. Some people like the homemade Christmas gifts. I'm all over the commercialization of Christmas but I do like the homemade Halloween costumes.

Anyway, this isn't a Halloween costume . . .technically. When we found out we were going to have to pay for this, we grudgingly paid the money and then waited for the day of the big show to see what the money bought for us. It is a full-body costume and he did enjoy wearing it. It will go into the Halloween box for future use. Unfortunately, while we're in the ME I'm not sure how much use a Halloween costume will get. This last year we had a family party and the kids dressed up for it. I understand embassies usually have Halloween parties but since we're not embassy, no party for us.

I'm getting off course--

Here's my issue with this. We paid money for this costume and you can't even tell what it is. I'm leaving a little challenge here on my blog called "Name that costume." I'll give you a few days to guess and then I'll fess up as to what it is supposed to be. Any guesses, anyone?
