Do you need the valiant men of The Hobbit Hole (with sincere apologies to any I forgot to ping) to hunt some orc for you?
You have my axe. (and my prayers)
Seems that for the 8th graders Halloween is "Legend's Day." He's supposed to be his favorite historical (dead at least 10 years) or literary character. After deciding against Mickey Mantle (not dead ten years? and dad wouldn't buy the vintage uniform), he decided on Frodo. I'm so proud, but it ain't easy to pull off.
I think we can piece together the basic clothing. He has to wear shoes and can't carry even a fake weapon, so we won't deal with that. I'm thinking we need the cloak and the ring on a chain. I can handle the ring, but finding a cloak is tough. I found one green sparkly one tonight, but it had a spider-web pattern. That's the only green one I've found. He may have to be Frodo BEFORE Rivendell...
Any ideas folks?
IN OTHER APALLING NEWS: He had to turn the form in to his English teacher (our permission to dress up) and tell her who he would be and what he would be wearing. His "ENGLISH" teacher DID NOT KNOW WHO FRODO WAS!!!! (I pinged the homeschool crowd so you could say "I told you so")
I pinged Sam because she's a UVA graduate... ;-)
