Our Halloween Greeter!

 

Several years ago I bought this little guy, who is motion activated, to stand outside the door on Halloween and greet our trick or treaters.

He’s so sweet.  I fell in love with him the first time I saw him.  He says, “Happy Halloween!”  or “Do you like my costume?  I’m ready for my treat!”  or “Halloween is fun!”  All said in an enthusiastic, friendly little-boy voice.

But, do you notice something funny about him?  Like his pants?  Or lack thereof?  I bought him two years ago, and didn’t use him last year, but this year when I got him out, I noticed for the first time those wimpy pantaloons they have on him — with his “cool” tennis shoes!  This look must not have bothered me the first time I used him, but now that I have noticed, it really bothers me.  It looks like he’s ready to go trick or treating in his long johns!.  Or, more accurately, in his sister’s long-johns!

So, I decided he needs pants!  I thought I would go to the Goodwill store and pick some up, but yesterday when I was at the super store, I happened to see the little boy department and just wandered through, on the chance that something cheap would catch my eye.  And, voila, it did!  I found gray sweats for $5.00!

So, now he has pants.  

 

He was always a happy little fella, but I think he looks happier now, in his “cool” sweats.

May you have a fun and safe Halloween!
