A day at the Garage Sell!

Last weekend we had a garage sell. I was hopeful to really clean out, but for some reason my sweet little boy kept going through his old stuff and insisting that he needed these important items. I am not kidding when I tell you that all of these items where worn in the span of a couple of hours. The kid changed outfits 6 times!!! I can't lie though, I loved every moment of his little imagination at work and what he transformed into each time!!



It started with a hat...it might have been a little cuter when he wore it at 6 months old, now it hardly fits his head, but still he was convinced it "was his favorite animal hat"



Then it moved to the jammies he wore when he was 6 months old. He loved these because it "made him doctor octopus." A keeper in his mind.



Then on to his Halloween monkey costume from when he was 2. Again a keeper because he could dress up like his very own monkey (his favorite stuffed animal for the last 2 years).



And then it was Hulk in real life. This one he wore when he was 1. The funny thing is it looks more real now because it totally doesn't fit him, just like Hulk's clothes when he gets mad!!!






This one was a little beyond me...batman jammie pants, spiderman jammie shirt, and his Lightning McQueen shirt pulled over his legs like a kilt, all while sword fighting. Hmm, where does he get he sense of style, me or Jeff????




Some other characters joined in his fun also! Asher Avalos (Our friends from NMSU little boy, they are up in Colorado for the summer) Asher enjoyed the race car driver costume that was passed down to us from Nate's Halloween collection!



Who knew Cat in the Hat lived in New Mexico??? This was from Christian's Halloween collection!


The collection of costume's proved to be the most entertaining and fun thing for the kids, so I started a costume drawer and without fail, every day since our garage sell a new character is running around my house!! It is really funny to watch Gentry transform into his character each day, and sometimes literally each hour!!! Others included in our collection are Captain Hook, Spiderman, Batman, CU Buff football player, Captian Jack, an Alligator, a Shark, Superman, and some random hats that G enjoys every now and then. I recommend every mom start a collection now, it is so entertaining!!!!




Good night my little character. It must be very draining wearing so many hats each day, but I must say, you wear them all so well!!
