So this year I tried to bribe Max to be Mickey Mouse, but he was having none of it. Actually, come to think of it, I bribed Ava to be Minnie Mouse with a pair of shiny, jewel encrusted patent leather shoes. I need to rethink my strategy for next year.
Max ended up as a "Race Car Man" since it was ridiculous that I expected him coordinate with his sister.
Ava wore the ears but refused to wear the black paint that gave her the cutest little mouse nose. So I whined and complained and retold the story of the year Gigi dressed Ninny and I up like clowns complete with full face paint in sub-zero temperatures.
"When Ninny and I were kids, we trick-or-treated several nights and we lived in the middle of nowhere, so you had to drive from house to house..." And on and on I went. I think she even said I was fibbing at one point.
Face paint, car heat and 20 below temps, it's no wonder Ninny and I have an unhealthy fear of clowns.
Max was very happy NOT to be Mickey.

That race car suit is so awesome...Max looks thrilled! And Minnie mouse is adorable (even sans cute little black nose). I would've done the same though, and would've lost... so I hear ya sister. I thought WE were the ones in charge? Geesh.
Uh clowns...I still have nightmares.
