A mind of his own
In case you are wondering what happened to all of your great ideas for workouts, I have been giving serious consideration to each and every one, and I think that might take me at least two more years because there were so many suggestions.
I was also floored by the outpouring of suggestions for how to turn a Bed, Bath & Beyond shopping bag into a Halloween costume. Wow, you guys sure are crafty! I also have a lot of those twisty-tie things that come with garbage bags floating around the kitchen. You think maybe there's something I can do with those?
I had my favorites—Harold & The Purple Crayon, a bunch of grapes, a blueberry, a raisin, a shopping bag and, of course, The Color Purple (I wasn't sure, though, that Max could pass for Oprah Winfrey). But it didn't matter what I wanted. Because Max has purple on the brain, and he had a vision. I ran the suggestions by Max, illustrated by some photos I'd find online. He considered them all (maybe not quite as thoroughly as I have been mulling over the exercise possibilities), and made a split-second decision. I do not want to give it away here, but I'll just say that to those of you who know Max, you will not be so surprised.

Can't wait to see what you and Max come up with!! I'll bet he will look wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of photos, that is a really wonderful pic of Max that illustrates this blog entry. He's such a handsome and photogenic boy anyway, but that picture is especially compelling. You take a great picture, Ellen!
I'm dying to see what you come up with. He's such a handsome boy too - you're going to be beating the girls (or boys) off with a stick!
ReplyDeleteCool, can't wait to see! BTW I LOVE the pic of Max. He looks so grown up and handsome, too!
ReplyDeleteI know, he looks so grown up in this photo! I will be spending part of today figuring out how to make said costume.
ReplyDeleteI love that bloggers can be so creative. I can't wait to see what you come up with costume-wise.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what he has decided on! I too love the colour purple. I have to agree that Max is certainly a handsome guy - he is looking so much older lately in pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I absolutely adore this picture of Max. Delish.
ReplyDeleteOk now you have me very curious!!!
