\"\"<\/a>Since it\u2019s Halloween, I\u2019m taking a break from giving away my kids regular clothes and rummaged through our old \u201ccostume box\u201d to see if I really needed to save all the stuff for a grandchild who doesn\u2019t live in town or for gag costumes for special events. I decided the ghost costume made out of an old sheet was an easy thing to let go of.\u00a0 So were the two cowboy hats since we had two other similar ones. The Beethoven wig was pretty shabby. The boa could be useful but it was cheap to begin with and was starting to shed. I doubt if I\u2019d be willing to risk the vacuuming job that would follow wearing it, even for fun. The old lady\u2019s dress was a hold over from when Jim dressed up as \u201cThe Church Lady\u201d for a skit. I decided that maybe we didn\u2019t need a special dress for this anymore since during last weekend\u2019s door to door campaigning, a young boy answered the door and yelled up to his mom that \u201cAn old lady is at the door!\u201d Boy was that deflating.
\nAh, but I did find one thing that I\u2019m happy to give away \u2013 the home made superman cape. It is with joy that I will send it to our three year old Korean godchild who is really into superheroes right now. His birthday is coming up and this will be perfect. It feels especially good when I can find the appropriate person to give something to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
