Cock-a-Doodle Halloween!

The $10 I spend on Marti's Halloween costumes is maybe the best money I spend at Target all year. Marti thinks she's getting a present, and we get to laugh at her dressed up as various other animals. Marti the Moose was one of my faves in 2007, and I loved her as a bumblebee last year. They were a little picked over by the time we got in this year to make our purchase, so the barnyard theme was the only medium costume available. Luckily, Marti is also cute as a rooster.


The wings are absolutely my favorite part of the whole getup.

There is always some trouble with the heads staying on, but the side-rooster-head look is cute too.


Each year, Marti has gotten a little less squirmy when I've put on her costume. I think she knows she'll be in it for all of five minutes, she'll get a few treats while I snap pictures and then she can exact her revenge:


It's a win-win for everyone. Except the rooster.
