Then I got busy with school and didn't find time to go shopping for Mic's costume.
The day of the party I was scheduled to work at 11am until basically when the party started. So we set out at 9am when Savers opens, and headed to Savers to (*cross our fingers*) find Mic a gangster looking suit that he could wear to the party. Some suit jackets came with pants, so we looked through those first so it'd be matching, but none of them fit Mic really. Dang his super long legs. I did find one jacket that actually fit Mic's broad shoulders and was long enough in the arms. I didn't know what we would find to match with it though- none of the pants by themselves looked like they'd work. Right when I was about to give up though, I spotted the exact pattern of the jacket in a pant! I was so stoked, it was the other half of the set, and surprisingly the pant size was his same size! So for $20 he had a whole gangster suit! Not bad.
His mom unpicked the large hem in the pants, and re hemmed them with a much shorter hem to give him an additional 2 inches probably, so the length turned out perfect.
I thought Mace had a white tie from one of his school dances, but I guess it got donated to the DI when my mom was donating things in preparation to moving. So Mic went to Walmart and found an inexpensive white tie to complete his costume.
The party was way fun, tons of good food and fun people.

| Mic is laughing at me, because even in my heels I wasn't tall enough to kiss his cheek so I told him to bend down to my level. Love this picture though. |
