Happy Halloween Part 2

Connor's costume was a little easier. He picked out a gorilla mask but wasn't quite sure what else he was going to wear. I suggested we go to the Goodwill store and just look around. Both boys looked at me horrified and said "the Goodwill store?" "Are we that bad off?" I explained to them that it's just like a huge garage sale and you can sometimes find treasures for cheap. I thought about going into how most of the clothing I wore growing up was 2nd hand and I still don't mind 2nd hand if I can get it cheap. I decided it really wouldn't be that helpful for now.

They begrudgingly walked into the "Goodwill" store with me and slowly started looking around. Soon they were getting into it. I watched as they went from one department to the other excitedly telling one another to look at this or look at that.

Connor found a great suit coat and a shirt with what he thought was a ridiculous pattern for cheap. Add in Grandpas Jerry Garcia tie and you have a "Gorilla in a monkey suit."








And Nowwwww.... The Rubics Cube!
