The Halloween Costume, That Wasn't

A couple of months ago, Alec proclaimed that he was planning to be a Mountie for Halloween, at which time I tirelessly set out on a long and expensive journey that has resulted in a very beautiful costume, complete with authentic hat, jacket, custom-made pants and very mountie-ish looking boots.

By the time I had gathered many of these items, Alec had begun to extole the virtues of being a 'pumpkin robot'. I feared not, thinking my powers of persuasion would prevail.

Little did I expect that there was a three-way pact among 3 year old boys in the works, destined to bring my downfall. That's right, unbeknownst to me, Alec agreed with Jason and Jackson to go as a superhero team - Jason as Superman, Jackson as Spiderman and Alec as Batman.

How, you ask, can I argue with that? I can't. Batman it is.
