The Boy pulled off the Wall-E costume for his night out trick-or-treating… except for one or two incidents. Here’s the costume again… just as a reminder of what we’re dealing with here…

So, a couple times The Boy got so excited and ran to a house to get “more candy.” Twice in his excitement he missed a stair or a small branch that was in his path. I’d hate to say this (makes me feel like an AWFUL parent), but he tripped. Now imagine him, in the above costume, face down with arms and legs flailing. “I can’t get up!” Arms and legs flailing more… until Mama or Mr. Wonderful saved the day by lifting him back up. He so looked like a bug/turtle flipped over on it’s back trying to flip back over right side up… or like that poor younger brother on “A Christmas Story.” Mr. Wonderful and I were dying laughing… and trying so hard not to let him see us.

(NOTE: He was not harmed either time he toppled down… in fact he even mentioned that “my costume makes it so falling doesn’t hurt.” How’s that for a super homemade, forcefield costume!!)
