what was i thinking?

i woke up at 5 this morning. actually talan woke me up at 5. it is now 5:32 and i'm wondering to myself. why didnt i just spend $30 and buy a ninja turtle costume. why do i have to try and be supermom and make one. sure, i have this great sense of pride when i know that i made something for him and he likes it, but is it worth the time and effort? i realized this morning while drifting back to sleep that i forgot to sew the elbow and knee pads onto ashtons shirt and pants. he has to take his costume to school today because his class is going to parade around the neighborhood so it has to be done. of course he wont just let them be tied on like originally planned...that bothers him. but then again so does the mask(which he refuses to wear). what is a ninja turtle costume without the mask? i'll tell ya...it is a turtle wearing arm and knee pads. oh well. i guess these are the kinds of things we do for our kids.
