While over at my Mom’s house last night for family dinner, I asked Finn what he was going to be for Halloween and he cried out, “A BAT!” I wondered what his mom was going to be and he replied without hesitation, “An ostrich!” When I asked Dokey about her costume later she had no idea that’s what she was going to be. He just made it up on the fly. It’s actually a cool costume idea though she might end up going as a flamingo. I was already planning on being an owl. (Hoot!) Finn has decided that Double B should be a chicken and Grandma should be a bear. And with that his work here is done.
Finn hiding:

Where's Finn?
The big reveal:

Ta Da!
When he took off the box he cried out, “I FOUND MYSELF!”
That kid is just priceless! I think I’d like to ask him what I should be for Halloween. He’s like the Halloween-dress-up-guru.
OMG adorable. Now I kind of want to be an ostrich for Halloween.
He is the cutest thing ever! He can tie with my kids for that title, right?
Found himself already? He’s an emotionally bright kid, then. Good for him!
“I found myself.”
Awesome.
If Finn needs a bat costume to borrow, that is what Charlie was last year and he’d be happy to loan it out. This year he’s going to be a cowboy and Lulu a little cow, but if you ask Charlie what Lu should be his reply is “a beautiful butterfly”. Cute kid, but doesn’t really go with the control freak mama’s theme.
The extent to which Alissa will adore you after she sees you in an owl costume cannot be overstated.
If only our 3-year old selves were all that’s needed to be found! Awesome!
can he find me?
Awesome. That’s funny, I was tossing around the owl idea too! If you lived closer, you could be my companion animal (since I am being Athena).
Did you see that owl costume I shared in Google Reader? I can’t remember who made it, but it was AWESOME. I will see if I can find it again.
Finn is the best.
That boy is sooooo cute and growing so fast!!
I’m jealous.
I wish I could find myself.
I love it! Such a cute idea to all be flying things.
Nice. Maybe he can teach me how to find myself as quickly.
My nephew told me yesterday he wants to be a “fire killer” for Halloween. I asked, “fire fighter?” “No, fire killer.” No one can figure out how to make that costume.
I still need to find myself. Good for you Finn!
It will be fun when he is older, and finds this (if blogs are still around) and reads all of these funny stories about himself!
haha the family of birds, so cute.
and um finn is sort of precious, love it.
Clearly I need one of those box/fabric thingy. (Holy crap he’s grown.)
Finn is getting so tall! And still cute as a button.
I am intrigued by this owl costume of yours! Also, is he getting REALLY tall all of the sudden?
