Alex had "Community Helper Day" at school this week. He decided he wanted to be an astronaut. In November. Not sure why he thinks an astronaut is a community helper. Or where we were supposed to find an authentic astronaut costume on a few days notice, in NOVEMBER. So I asked him why he chose astronaut, and his very obvious answer was "Star Wars!" Problem solved: Alex dressed like a Clone Trooper. And all his friends loved his outfit.
