Kung Fu Moo
September 27th, 2006, 1:00 am

I’m so pissed. Yesterday I went and bought socks for the Lil’ Baby Moo. We went to Target, walked the place, and found the Halloween section.

You have to love the selection they have for kids. There was a bee, which I thought looked kind of cute on him, but he detested. There was a puppy, he didn’t seem keen on the idea. The pony was cool, except he would be “riding” it, and that would mean he’d be walking - sorry, not happening.

There were dozens of costumes for adults, young boys and girls, but six for toddlers. SIX. Are you kidding me? It was a joke, and I wasn’t laughing.

Disgusted, we perused the toy section and I got him a Buzz Lightyear toy thing. It shoots at you, so that should be fun. I don’t know, it’s still in the trunk of the car; I forgot it there, along with the socks we went in to get originally and a Halloween flashlight I forgot I picked up.

The day was filled with shopping for stuff to make lunch and dinner, mac and cheese with extra cheesy yumminess, dinner with my mom, and him running all over the house playing with the trucks I have for him here.

It ended though on a fun note. Some Disney movie with some girl from one of their regular shows (featuring the twins originally on “Full House”) was on there, kicking up a storm in some kung-fu-esque fight fest.

It was great, seeing the boy watching with intent, eyes glued to the screen. When the movie took a break, he would growl at me, stand in some psuedo-stance, and give me the business.

I think he left a bruise on my nose.

    Isn’t it sad that I know exactly what movie you’re talking about? The little girl I baby sit is obsessed with the Olsen twins — I think it’s New York Minute, haha.

    I know what you mean about the costumes too, I took my 7 year old nephew looking for one this past weekend, and all they really had was batman, spiderman, and a dinosaur. I thought the dinosaur was kind of cute, but Michael didn’t.

    Target is awesome, but maybe I think that because we don’t have one here. You need a bandaid, although that might not help bruises.. maybe an emergency blanket.. I’m sure I have something in my first aid kit for you! Glad you had fun daddy time

    Wrong movie, wrong twins.

    I wanted to see if they had a cute little Spider-Man costume, but they didn’t.

    So, if there was a Target by you, would it suck?

    We’re getting a Target this year back home, so depending on how it is - it might suck, but it might not.

    Didn’t we discuss the show? Suite Life of Zach and Cody? If that’s it, I don’t think they were on Full House.

    I blame the source of my information for my misinformation - I won’t mention Heather’s name, though.

    What’s a toddler doing owning a store? Where exactly do you live?

    I think at 2 I pulled Hunter in a wagon. His costume was always half off by the time we got home. This year we are trick or treating at the mall. I can’t find a “professor X” costume for the life of me. ahhhhhhh, he’ll probably settle for wolverine.

    I know what you mean about Target’s costume selection for toddlers. I went Sunday to get my rugrat her costume and they had a pirate costume that wasn’t worth the $15, a witch’s costume that was ugly and a Renaisance princess. That’s it. I was not happy, and learned that Target.com has a way bigger selection. Then I went through the turmoil of trying to figure out what we were dressing up as. I thought about pirates, witches, and all of those. We were even going to be Thing 1 and Thing 2 (you know, from “The Cat in the Hat”) that Target.com has, but fleece jumpsuits just wouldn’t be comfortable in Louisiana. I ended up just ordering our stuff online from BuyCostumes.com. Much more convenient and much bigger selection.

    Places like that suck for selection for kids stuff. If they aren’t newborn or twelve years old, you’re whooped. :( My nephew wants to be a robot, so his mom is making him a costume like the tinman from Alice in Wonderland. :)
