Halloween was quickly approaching as fall rolled in bringing with it a crisp bite to the air. With the excitement of autumn, the youngest members of the Anderson residence were trying to decide on what they wanted to be for the spooky holiday. Part of the fun of Halloween was picking the best costume! Oh, and the candy of course.
Cole had already picked his costume out. He was going to be a lion. It was currently his favorite animal and when he saw the costume the boy had fallen in love. His dad even let him pick up a pack of face paint so they could draw on a big cat nose and whiskers on his face.
Mayson however, was struggling. Nothing was calling out to him. He was originally thinking about being a cat, he saw a cute set of cat ears and a puffy tail. He was even thinking of talking his other dad, Mr. Sixty in going with him. Sixty liked cats over dogs. They could be cats together! A daddy cat and a kitten cat! But the boy didn't want to be one now that Cole was gonna be a lion. He wanted to do something completely different from his brother.
He thought long and hard about it. There were a lot of cool looking costumes at the party store and he saw some fun ideas online. He almost wanted to do it all, even though he knew that wasn't possible. But at the same time, nothing truly called out to him and felt perfect. He wanted the perfect outfit! He had no idea what to do!
"You'll figure it out." Hank assured him. "Just keep looking. Keep an eye out to what calls to you."
Mayson wasn't so sure. But had given his father a nod. "Okay. Maybe you're right."
Who knew picking a Halloween costume could be so hard! It was tricky! Mayson was never good a deciding. His name was a combination of two other names he liked after all. Why would dressing up be any different? He had to give it his all and make it something wonderful, pretty, and perfect! Maybe even colorful and glittery!
He just had to find the right outfit that fits all those self imposed qualifications. He'd keep looking just as Hank had said. He couldn't find an outfit if he didn't look after all.
