When you ask them what they want to be when they grow up Stella will say a firefighter, a doctor and now a ninja turtle. Last year, Stella was a firefighter and Sophia was a policeman. It was awesome watching their imaginations in action and I loved that they wanted to be strong girls for Halloween. They were fighting crime and saving the day. They jumped off the couch, climbed under tables, and swooshed around chairs. The girls immediately put on their Halloween costumes and dashed around the house. I asked her sister Sophia if she wanted a different costume and she quickly said that she still wanted to be Skye from Paw Patrol.
She once again gasped, “Mom! I’m going to have muscles! I’m going to be so strong!” It was an awesome moment and I love our strong ninja. I handed the costume to her and as she held it she realized it had “muscles” built into the costume. Fortunately, we found the Mikey costume in her size. We began digging through the costumes to find Mikey, the orange Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, which was her favorite. She quickly declared that the ninja turtle costume was way better. We had already discussed Halloween costumes so I asked her about her previous decision to be Gekko from PJ Masks. As we turned the corner Stella grabbed my hand and gasped, “Mom! They have ninja turtle costumes!” She continued, “Can we get Mikey? Please! Please!” I couldn’t help but smile at her enthusiasm. We walked down an aisle that was overflowing with shelves of candy. We looked at the Halloween blow-ups but decided they were too small. We jumped in the mini-van and headed to Walmart. I agreed that we needed more as Halloween yard decorations are a big deal in our Chicago neighborhood. We already had some pumpkins, scarecrows, and a blow-up skeleton. Stella and Sophia, our five-year-old twins, recently declared that we needed more Halloween blow-ups for our front yard. Guest blog by Meg Tortorello from Messy Mommies in the City
