The weather is getting mighty chilly in these parts. We are seeing temps down into the low single digits here... Celsius of course. With that in mind we are bundling up and wearing our hats and mittens, but L Rizzy refuses to wear socks. He does well with hats but any gloves or mittens would immediately turn into sopping bundles of slobber. Thankfully, prior to jumping the pond we found an amazing deal online for a cookie monster type outfit. It is all one piece, with two zippers going down each leg and up to the neckline. An attached hood is key, and the arms and legs fold over the hands and feet to be one solid unit of cold-fighting protection. Couple this with a nice bib like area that deals with drool well and the fact that the inside and outside are cuddly and soft- L Rizzy is shielded from the elements as only a cookie monster could be.
As a special treat, as well, Halloween is approaching and thankfully all we need to do is attach some googly eyes and sprinkle some left over cookie crumbs on his chest, and L Rizzy is all set. I have been scouring the internet for a comparable adult costume, and I gotta admit I'm pretty disappointed. I guess I'm not sure what "responsible" adults are supposed to dress as for Halloween. I suppose the easy answer is "responsible" adults don't dress up. Well... that's horse crap. Some of the greatest times in life are had while dressed in a ridiculous costume. I will be dressing up for Halloween in the future, and I will go trick-or-treating. I will carve pumpkins and I'll definitely make rude comments when someone comes to the door with a bowl of hershey kisses. I mean, come on. That's not what you hand out for Halloween. At the very least it should be a kid sized Snickers or a small bag of Skittles. And don't try to throw a frickin penny in my bag, either. Times are tough and this is the 21st century, sir- break out at least a quarter. Something paper with a president's face on it is preferable. I can't send L Rizzy to college with 13 pennies accrued each Halloween. And forget about having a car... he'll be picking up his girlfriend for dates on his homemade rollerblades constructed from wood and spackling paste. But as per usual... I digress. The good news is, L Rizzy is gonna be warm this winter and it's an easy thing for L Mama to throw him in.
