I AM A ROBOT

Dad took over the Halloween costume this year. Not only did he take over, but he took it to a completely new level. It was a month of evening work, crammed into three days. But he pulled it off - with working switches which operated flashing lights and sounds. Max and Wyatt were huge hits at daycare and around the neighborhood.

The early stages: a former plastic trash bin.

 

While Dad continued to work on the costume, Max and Wyatt worked out a plan for world domination.

Max doing a test run the night before in his pajamas (and striking his second best robot pose).

Wyatt admiring his lights in the mirror at daycare.

Wyatt wasn't too thrilled to wear the contraption at dacyare.

Max showing off his best robot pose (the one in which looks at you sideways and shoots you with a finger laser gun with sound effects). Notice that the tips of the wires on his helmet light up. Yes, dad's last minute inspriration! 

Despite not wanting to wear the costume at daycare, Wyatt strutted his stuff for a whole hour around the neighborhood.

Max needed a break now and again. Whenever he got tired, he would curl his legs in and tuck his head in, like a turtle.
