The Princess and The................Elephant???

Months ago I had the brilliant idea that my kids were going to coordinate for Halloween. They were going to be so cute in their matching costumes. But each idea I had either one or both of the little ones shot down. I had pretty much given up until we went to Marshall's last month and Greyson fell in love with a knight costume. At last!!! I rushed out and bought a princess costume for Quinn and we were all set.

So you can imagine my sheer delight last night when Greyson announced that he was going to be an elephant for his Lil' Punkin Parade at school. You remember that costume I bought him a month ago that he put on for 10 seconds and wanted nothing more to do with. The costume that has been gathering dust in the closet - completely forgotten about until now. I tried to bribe him "If you are a knight you get to have a sword." No good. "If you are a knight I will let you take your horse to school to ride on." Still no good. So may I present to you The Princess and The Elephant. (sigh)
