Halloween Week 2012: The Costume

by Papa K on October 30, 2012

Long time readers know that Maile Girl is very lucky because every year her Grandma Gail makes her a costume for Halloween.

In 2009 she was Totoro.

In 2010 she was a monkey.

In 2011 she was Elmo.

And, this year, she’s a PURPLE FLOWER!

Why a purple flower? A few months back when Grandma Gail was visiting, she, Mommy and Maile were brainstorming ideas of what Maile could be for Halloween. When Mommy mentioned that once Grandma Gail made her a flower costume, Maile was sold! She wanted to be just like mommy.

And sure enough, here’s a picture from October 30, 1981 where word on the street is Mommy took 3rd place at the Big Save costume contest…
