Connorsaurus

Connor's Halloween costume for this year has been nothing short of a saga! A couple months ago, he saw a pterodactyl costume in the Lillian Vernon catalog. He couldn't stop talking about it, so I ordered it back in the middle of September. After a month, we still hadn't received it! When I called, they said they showed it shipped at the end of September, but there was no tracking information, so they reordered it and expedited the shipping. We got a call on Saturday saying the costume was out of stock, and they would refund! Oh my gosh!! How do you explain that to a 4 year old?? I immediately jumped on EBay and bid on the exact costume. A day later, the seller cancelled my bid and ended the auction!

Fortunately, my mom bought Connor this dinosaur costume at Target for dress-up and gave it to him on Saturday. He is completely in love with it and wants to wear it for Halloween. We're going to alter it a bit to make it wearable outdoors. Now my mission is to find a green sweat suit and some green fleece so we can add a tail to it.

It really is a cute little costume. It has a hat shaped like a dinosaur head, gloves for the hands and adorable little dino feet that go over his feet and have a strap around his heel to keep them on. There's also a green cape with spikes. Last night, he was making a tail out of paper and masking tape!
