Incognito

Trent's class was studying Greek Mythology. Each student chose a God to dress as for the culmination of their study. Trent picked Poseidon. It was really the perfect God in my opinion. Me being such a water lover and Trent being the God of the Sea. True to form I came up with a great costume idea the night before. Surfer Dude Poseidon.
I did have to convince Trent it would be o.k. if he didn't wear a chiton (The traditional Greek item of clothing) which they had also studied. I also had to sell him on the blue beard concept. The most important thing to him was the trident. I'm thankful we'd been collecting toilet paper rolls for Oliver - Callie's classroom gerbil! The beard is made out of sticky-backed felt which I was also thankful to have. One of the quarter machines at the hockey rink was selling stick-on-moustaches. I got sick of the kids wasting 50 cents every time we went. One trip to Michael's with a 40% off coupon and we've got moustaches galore in custom team colors! Everyone loved Callie's first quarter machine purchase. Through the years Trent has had many inspired made-by-me costumes. Poseidon ranks at #2. My favorite was this one (Click on it) It's a great read, and fun Chasing Time Rewind.
Here are some other costumes, dress-ups and silliness.
