Today, Pete and I took his sisters/my cousins to the party store to start buying decorations for their nephew’s/my second cousin’s first cowboy-themed birthday party. Confused yet? Anyway, it was a bit odd being in a costume/party place when it wasn’t Halloween but the girls had a fun time trying on all the masks and hats. Just being in that store made me want to have a themed party! Oh, and I also bounced a superball too high and it crashed into the next aisle…but I let the kids take the rap for that one.
Its amazing how both kids and adults will let loose in a costume store while testing out all the interesting wigs, accessories and suffocating plastic masks. It makes playing “dress up” cool as opposed to what you would look like if you just walked around your house dressed as Harry Potter or Dracula.
