A Halloween Sort of Sculpture

Posted by: Jennifer on October 30, 2009

Dave diverged from metal recently to build a Halloween costume from cardboard. It was all S’s idea; he’s been fixated on Optimus Prime as a costume since Labor Day.

S’s “Transformer” stage is somewhat recent, and admittedly I’m behind the ball on who’s who and the whole storyline. But according to many of the kids at school, he has one of the coolest costumes ever. And did I actually see some adult males drooling?

When I reflect on his history of Halloween costumes, I can’t help but notice my little guy’s growing up.

at 1 year old he was a duck
at 2 he was a frog
at 3 a bat
at 4 a ghost
at 5 a tarantula
at 6 OPTIMUS PRIME

You might guess that he is more excited than ever about Halloween this year.

Oh yeah, and of course Dave had to add something metal and no better place than on Optimus Prime’s helmet head.

    So rocking awesome! And the best part? I’ve seen Sam as all these things! The best part of being neighbors is watching the kiddos grow up! :)

    Wow! A real live Transformer. Great costume. Wish you could have shown it off at the great Halloween Bash on Franklin Street at Chapel Hill.

    Love you,
