Oh...try not to make too many "*I'll* sure never do that!" statements along the way. Because...you will. Oh, yes, whatever it is...you'll do it.

And your child WILL let you know at 9PM that he needs a frog costume for *tomorrow* morning, too. *sigh* Mine did. Literally a frog costume. (Green t-shirt, tights, and the Halloween make-up Mommy had the sheer good sense to confiscate after Halloween and put away in a safe place.)

You've got me all excited about the future now

It *is* exciting, Trev. Just remember:

All costumes are to be confiscated after the original event and put in "a costume box," to be kept in a safe place. All garments of Mummy and Daddy that you look and go "hmmm..." go into the box, too. Especially hats.
All Halloween makeup, ditto.
*Always* have construction paper, glue, tape and markers on hand. (You'd be amazed how happy a child will be with a construction paper costume, or parts thereof.)
Never, ever throw out a shoebox. Valentines Day and diorama making will be so much easier. (And if you don't know what a diorama is...you will.)

My youngest keeps telling me to write a book. I may someday.
