to infinity and beyond

Oliver decided to be Buzz Lightyear for Halloween this year. He picked that particular costume among the three choices in front of him at the Disney store that day. He passed up Mickey Mouse and Pooh Bear. I'm sure daddy was proud of his boy for picking the astronaut instead of a yellow bear with no pants. We needed the costume early since we were going to Disney and we were going to dress up for the Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP).

Well, it was hotter than hell the night of the MNSSHP and Oliver wore the Buzz costume/glorified onsie sans space boots and hat. He looked mighty cute that night even without the boots. With the real Halloween one week away, I got out the costume and thought it looked a little small. I had to really pull to get the snaps together and am thinking my astronaut might have had a growth spurt sometime this past month. Is this what Kanye was referring to when he spoke of the big headed astronaut? Sadly and affectionately, yes,  we refer to Ollie (only sometimes!) as a big headed astronaut. Yes, we are awful and yes its funny as all get out. Jake loves him some Kanye which he pronounces like quinoa (KEEN-WAH). Back to the matter at hand. Oliver has a Halloween parade at school on Monday and I am debating about finding him another costume that fits. All of our local stores seem to be sold out of infant costumes in Baptist daycare friendly versions. So, do I get creative and try and make something (um.... radio silence ensues), make buzz work or just let him wear his new cow stocking cap and try and find a black onsie to match. Decisions, decisions. We are headed to SC this weekend for my BIL's wedding. We are staying in Gaffney so I think I will try the outlets and hopefully I'll get lucky and find a cheap costume for baby buzz.
