Well the ghostly season is upon us! Last week, Lina and I found ourselves at Didoms, a party supply store in San Mateo, looking through Halloween costumes. We figured if something jumped out at us, we'd get it...but if not, no worries there was plenty of time to shop. Wouldn't you know - two costumes grabbed our attention. One is an Organ Grinder's Monkey outfit and the other a Garden Gnome. Not able to decide and having the $13 or so each cost, we bought both. A few days later it was time to try on at least part of one of the costumes. At first Miles wasn't feeling the monkey hood (its hit or miss with Miles as to whether or not he'll wear a hat), but after a few minutes and coaxing by letting him watch himself in the digital camera, he seemed to relax about it and have fun.
Saturday was the Burlingame Mother's Club annual Halloween parade. Everyone meets in the park near downtown with kids in costumes (some parents too) and coffee in hand. There are refreshments, some food and little hay bales used for taking photos. For the parade Lina and I decided to try the Garden Gnome costume. It was clear that Miles did not like the hat or the beard. We were lucky to get him to leave it be and not cry long enough to get a few shots in.
After the parade and just before taking him out of the costume, we tried again at pictures in our yard. Again, T minus 5 seconds until melt-down.
Pretty sure he doesn't like it.
Giving it the Chickereeth try!
VERY sure he doesn't like it.

...My grumpy gnome. This also happened right before his nap - needless to say he wasn't in a humoring mood...
