So begins the planning for The Gov's Yoshi Halloween costume. Why couldn't he be Mario? That's an easy one. The only thing I'd really have to make with that one is enlarged foam hands and handyman's hat. But Yoshi is a different story. The body for the costume and the red scales would not be a problem, but it's that huge honking nose and the big eyes I'm going to have to worry about. I might paper-mache and cover it with green fabric--but then would it be too heavy to attach to the hood of a costume? Or do I just need The Gov. to wear a big green boulbous nose? Will he be ok with that? Will I be ok with that?
We spent today outside most of the day. With a neighborhood garage sale and Conan finishing up His Honor's playset, it wasn't a proactive choice. But I got the gardening bug when I got home from bringing the younger boy to a classmate's birthday party, so being in front of my house in the cool autumn weather was both an 8 a.m. thing and an 8 p.m. thing. Not too shabby. But really, it's all a show-I got to at least make my neighbors believe I'm making some effort on my yard. :\
