The last Airbender & other dress-up


This has been the week of make-believe and dress-up!!!

Truett had to dress up as a scuba diver. The costume is from 3 years ago when I made Owen a scuba diver costume to match up with Truett's shark costume. Anyway-- Truett kept sucking on the water bottle mouthpiece and trying to get me to "breathe the air" too. And just think-- this went on for hours.


A couple of weeks ago we went to see the movie "The last Airbender" (which was terrible) and of course the boys loved it. In the movie, there is a young boy-- who is bald-- and has a tattoo down his head where a mowhawk would be. So the boys wanted me to tattoo them like the boy in the movie. Truett actually asked me to cut his hair. And since THAT was out of the question-- both boys got headbands and washable paint tattoos. And so the airbender make believe went on for a couple of days-- but of course the tattoos didn't last that long.


I'm surprised no one ended up with a broken arm or bloody nose during this make believe karate chopping fight fest.
The boys really think they are masters of martial arts. Here is a video of them trying to "fight" each other. Note that Owen's pants are like knickers-- which is because the outfit is from his halloween costume from 2 years earlier. It just goes to show you that these boys grow up and not OUT!
