Last Wednesday for Young Women's we combined with the Young Men to do a "Where's Waldo" activity at the mall. I was one of the lucky leaders that got to dress up. Here is my "Where's Waldo" get-up . . .
I got the dress and (never been worn) shoes from the Salvation Army store, and I couldn't find a grey old-lady wig, so I had to settle for this Napoleon Dynamite wig and glasses set instead. So pretty! It was a fun night and we had a lot of kids show up and participate. Everyone loved my costume, I think I will wear it for Halloween too!
On Thursday Riley and I went to the Puppet Theater at Balboa Park to see "Witch's Brew".
It was horrible!! Incredibly boring and it almost seemed like the puppeteer (I think it was only one lady) was just making in up as she went. After it was over I thought to myself that I was never going to go there again, but then I talked to another mom when Riley was playing at the park and she said she comes all the time and that was the all time worst one she had seen. She told me to try again before I decided to veto it all together. There are some pretty fun sounding ones coming up for the Holiday's so we shall see . . .

On Saturday we all drove up to Julian, which is a small old mining town up in the mountains, about an hour away. There are a bunch of novelty shops and while we were there we purchased this pretty hummingbird feeder. It has been quite a hit with the hummingbirds at our complex.
On Monday it was cloudy and rainy, so Riley and I went to the indoor playground at McDonalds. He loves to make car noises, so this part of the playground was a big hit for him. He even went down the big kid slide once. He is so brave!
Yesterday he spend most of the morning wearing the body of his costume and his hat. In case your couldn't tell from the picture, he is going to be a lion for Halloween. His costume has three parts, a mane hood, a body with tail, and lion paw slippers. He doesn't mind the body, and sometimes Gary can get him to wear the hood for a few minutes, but he has never worn the slippers for more than a couple of seconds. I leave the costume out to try to entice him to try it on, but so far I have only been successful in getting him to wear this part for any length of time. I definitely need to come up with a back-up-plan-costume.

Your Where's Waldo costume is awesome! And I almost bought Matson a lion costume too...wouldn't that have been funny if they were the same thing two years in a row. Too bad I bought a monkey costume instead.
Your costume is hilarious! Joe had to do this a few weeks ago for our Youth too! I'll post some pictures sometime so you can see his silly outfit :)
