Or should I say one happy super hero?!?! This year for Halloween the plan was to not purchase any new costumes. Sarah has given us some and after hitting a few clearance sales last year I thought we were in pretty good shape. However, if you have been around this little super hero lately you will understand how much he loves Captain America. Anything that he can find in the house becomes his shield and sometimes he requests that we address him as Captain America, not Tucker. It was our plan to get him a shield for Christmas but how can Captain America have a shield but not outfit to go with it. So...we gave in and the hunt was on for a costume. (Note to self: Do not try to find the most popular outfit with 10 days to go before Halloween.) First, I went online to Target and Walmart and they were sold out. Like, I could not even do the site to store before Halloween. So, trusty ol' Amazon it was. (The bad thing is you pay a little more too.) He picked one out that he like and we ordered. However, when we got it, we (or maybe just I) had been deceived by the description and picture. I thought there was a shield included...but there wasn't. So, the hunt was on for the shield. Back online, every shield was sold out at the same stores. I decided to take one last stab at our local Walmart. I found a shield (that doubles as a frisbee) that works perfectly. It has a handle on it and (most importantly) he loves it. I would say that we have one happy boy!
