Halloween Costume

Near the end of September Garrett asked when we would go shopping for a Halloween costume. Picturing the state of his room, with various pieces to all the Halloween costumes from years past spread around the floor, I replied with "how about you put together a costume from what you have and we'll buy any accessories you may need". I could tell that wasn't the reply he wanted but didn't dwell on it and the subject didn't come up again until mid October. By then Garrett had opted against putting together a costume and had settled on going as a Rubik's Cube. We all agreed it was a terrific idea, we have boxes and paint, all he needed to do was make his costume. Last Friday, October 30th, we finally brought out a box and laid out the grid and then Saturday morning Garrett painted all the squares.

The costume turned out great and he received a lot of compliments while trick or treating that evening.
