Flashback Friday...More costumed fun!

Remember when I told you about a pic that I lost?



Well, I found it...



along with some others I couldn't resist sharing...circa 1999.

I don't remember what these fake 'staches and binoculars were about...but this is just typical of the kind of stuff these guys would do together.



Watching these two do karate was a hoot.



Don't you just love the face on Patrick?

One day around this same time period, I came outside to find some older kids picking on him. I called out to them, "Wow, does that make you feel pretty big and tough to pick on a Kindergartener?" which was all it took for them to scatter. Patrick came huffing back to me in his chicken-hawk style (wearing a face just like in this picture) muttering, "It's a good thing they took off...I was gonna have to show them some of my moves!"



And just for good measure...I give you "Book Character Day". This was back before the movies...I think book 4 had just come out or was going to...I don't remember. Anyway, these guys were a little obsessed. I looked all over town for red and white rugby shirts...before resorting to making my own with red sweatshirts and athletic tape. The robes were easy enough with shiny, red $1 a yard fabric from Wal*Mart...and the Quidditch brooms were made of thick dowel rod, spray-painted gold, and cut-up whisk-brooms glued onto the stick and covered in glitter.

It's no wonder they loved their Shakespeare classes!
