Wow! I just realized that it has been over a year and half since I blessed y’all with my lyrical prowess (🤣😂 ). Well, I am no Jay-Z or Queen Latifah but I try to entertain every now and again lol. If you are not familiar with my Freestyle Fridays click here and here for a refresher with some of my previous dope rhymes lol. 🎶It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you without a strong rhyme to step to 🎶. If you got that, you love hip hop 😜. Anyhow, this Freestyle Friday, I am sure many parents can relate too! So, slight confession… I love Halloween. Love love love it! I just enjoy the fact that it is the one time of the year that kids and adults don’t take themselves so serious and dress in goofy, crazy, and sometime spooky costumes. It is all pure fun (and a few frights). This year, my kids have been obsessed with watching the PBS show Wild Kratts. The science geek Mom in me loves it, but I have to play it cool like I do not enjoy it lol. You know how fickle kids can be. Anyway, we decided we were going as the Wild Kratts for Halloween and I was ecstatic! I did not calculate how ecstatic my son would be. He will NOT TAKE THE COSTUME OFF!
He ran around so much on Halloween that this is the best picture I could get of him as Chris Kratts. I was Koki, my husband was Martin, and my daughter was Aviva. 
It was a whole family costume that worked perfectly for our multicultural family! So, I might have been very super duper duper excited and when Halloween was over, I was ready to pack up the Wild Kratts and move on ….
BUT my little guy has asked for his “Creature Power Suit” every single day since Halloween. This suit is not needed for sleepwear nor should we wear it to a restaurant lol. But he loves it! It is secretly super cute. Have you run into this problem after Halloween? Any tips on how to help? Or just let it go? Well, this is what I really want to say to my son …in this ill freestyle…
Hey! Little son
I know Halloween was so much fun
But the time has come
to put the costume to rest
oh yes! You did look your best
and super fresh to def
But its been over a week
and that thing is starting to reek
Oh! Thats just your diaper that stinks
Don’t change the topic
That costume needs to come off quick
But I guess this is how you show your gratitude
I shouldn’t have an attitude
So, go ahead and do what you do!
Well, we have been working on gratitude and things we are thankful for, so I guess I should not be too upset that my child actually likes something that I bought lol. Guess this is a life lesson for me to show appreciation for the things that they love and smile about it. Yes! There is a small piece of me that is screaming enough already but I know this costume phase will pass soon enough and I will look back and just chuckle about this minor obsession! I hope you enjoy my freestyle. I got bars, right? LOL! Leave some bars in the comments if you would like.
Enjoy!

Love it! You definitely got bars. Oh, and you might as well just give up on the fact that he wants to wear his costume all day everyday lol. Sorry mom!
Thank you!! Yes, I lost this time 🤣😂
Love this! How cute that your son likes his costume so much 🙂 But yes, as a mom, at some point it’s like, enough! lol By the way, those lyrics got that song stuck in my head 🎶🙂
Loved the fun poem. Kids are so unpredictable sometimes.
Okay I can so relate to this. My son is the same way.
This is fantastic you all look great in your outfits! Such a great little poem too x
Oh this was such a fun post. Kids and their fascination with costumes. Oh how i would trade bills for costumes right now lol but indeed there comes a time when enough is enough… no more costumes. Great post.
Amazing poem. And yes we have to force our kids to change their costumes as they usually don’t wish to change especially the favorite costumes.
I love this short poem. Your son is so cute and your costume as well. Actually, my niece is like your son thou. So that I can relate to this. lol!!!
Woah! You all look so great on those lovely outfits
I really loved this
The post is awesome.
You all great in your costumes. Your kids are so adorable and really enjoy that day. and I really like your poem to your son.
This is such a great post! I love to see families dress up together for Halloween and obviously he loved his costume so much he wants to wear it all the time! That’s great, I usually only wore mine as a kid once but this is really cool he wants to wear his more than once.
I can so much relate to your post! This Halloween I got a Spiderman costume for my nephew. He loved it so much that he didn’t change the outfit for 3 days…lol. Your son is so cute and glad that he too liked his costume!
Firstly you kids are so gorgeous! I love that you were able to do a family costume. Loved the rhyme, I suppose all I can say is if at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again 😉
Hahaha how cute! My son is the same! We went as captain America this Halloween and the costume is still a constant. Wash and wear is our new jingle!
I love those costumes and I love how you can all dress as a family. I loved your poem too.
