In which Mazie decides that she will be a witch and Athena will be a black cat.
Act II
In which Mazie decides that she and her mom must have matching beautiful princess costumes out of a catalog (for $80 each). Mom protests.
Act III
In which Mazie sees a pirate costume at Costco and declares that the whole family will be pirates. The price tag is reasonable and Mom has a pirate costume ready to go from Zack and Julie's wedding, so she concedes. Pirate costumes are subsequently purchased for Dad and Athena, and the Dickinson Pirate Family makes an appearance at the Louisville MonsterDash race on Saturday.
Act IV
In which the day of Halloween arrives and Mazie "The Diva" James suddenly decides that her pirate costume is ugly/ makes her look like a boy/ doesn't have the right shoes to go with it/ is generally and indisputably unacceptable and will not be worn. The Dickinsons thus spend Halloween as 3 pirates and a princess.
In which we conclude that, hey, at least our younger daughter still wears whatever we put on her, and makes a pretty darn cute pirate.
