A few days ago I posted a quote called "Dress-Up Box" and I couldn't' stop thinking about my boys and their love of dress-up clothes. That inspired me to flip through the photo albums looking for a few pictures of them in their dress-up clothes. It was just what I needed on a snowy day.
Over the years I made my boys all kinds of costumes, capes and masks for fighting crime as super heroes or causing chaos as a evil villains. Such creative little boys they were...and in many ways they are still super heroes in their own unique ways.Nate made a really cute batman!
I love Sam playing this collage of characters....he was a pirate, Superman, and Power Ranger all at the same time.
But my absolute favorite costume...was not from the dress-up box...but from the dresser drawer...underwear on the head and a t-shirt as a "loin cloth?"
Suit coats, hats, and ties were a favorite of both boys...
....and all it took was a hat and a train whistle to become a conductor.
Nate went through a Zorro stage....complete with his little home-made hobby horse. As a matter of fact he loved it so much he hardly ever took it off....even to sleep. 
I also came across this picture of Paul and me at a Halloween party....
I was Captain Hooker...and Paul The Prince of Tides.
Who doesn't love a dress-up box!
fun pictures and va voom. Look at you!
