What to do on snow/sick days? Play dress up of course!

When I found out I was having a boy, I pretty much figured that playing dress up would not be in my future.

I was wrong.

What I should have known is that boys do indeed play dress up, it’s just not with dresses and tiaras. Instead, boys like to dress up as scary monsters, super heroes, and (in LJ’s case) characters from Star Wars.  We now have quite a collection of Star Wars costumes….
There was Halloween 2010:

and Halloween 2011:

So when I was contacted by someone from Costume Discounters asking if I would like to choose something for LJ from their HUGE collection of kids costumes, I had a pretty good idea what LJ was going to choose. (Can you guess where this is going?)

Yes, we are now the proud owners of a deluxe Darth Maul costume.  The mask on this thing is so real looking, it may give me nightmares. Seriously, take a look:

It arrived just in time for our blizzard and was lots of fun on a yucky snow day where it was too cold to go out and play!

We were impressed by the great service at Costume Discounters. The shipping was fast, the costumes are great and they included directions for easy exchange should you have purchased the wrong size.  I will certainly be headed back there for next Halloween (or if we wind up with more snow days!).

Disclosure: Costume Discounters provided us with the costume for our review.  The opinions expressed are my own and not influenced by any compensation.
