When we were kids, this movie and these guys were cool!
If someone said, "Who ya gonna call?" Everyone around you would chime, "Ghostbusters!!" A special effects comedy that greatly impacted the 80's generation.
Against my better judgement, Handy Man has been letting our Brown Eyed Girl and Mr Blue Eyes watch Ghostbusters. And just recently I realized ha had recorded both movies because my Brown Eyed Girl requested to watch it while she played the other day. It is her number one request for snuggle time movie each night. I. Just. Don't. Get. It...
She is obsessed with Ghostbusters.
So much in fact that yesterday in the car she informed me that she wanted to be a Ghostbuster for Halloween.
A what?!?!
Ghostbuster. Not a princess. Not a cowgirl. Not a Barbie. A GHOSTBUSTER!
Do they even still make Ghostbuster costumes? I mean Ghostbusters came out 30 years ago! Holy Chit friends - I AM GETTING OLD!
At nap time, I went searching for Ghostbuster costumes expecting to pay a fortune considering they must be vintage, right?!?!
Surprisingly enough, Target among several other costume sites sell Ghostbuster costumes for around $30. Also surprisingly, they sell a boy and a girl version of the costume. Even better right?!
Boy version...
Tan little jumper, inflatable back pack and ghost gun looking thingy... perfect, just like I imagined.
Girl version...
Well there was this one with a cute little tan dress jumper and ball cap.
Or this one. Although the skirt is a little skimpy. Those have to be her own boots. But not too bad.
But am I missing something? Cause those girl costumes don't appear to have the same inflatable ghost backpack - sorry Proton Pack - as the boy costumes do. What the heck? Well that's dumb.
Keep on searching, there has to be a girl costume with a Proton Pack...
Oh wait here are some!
Are you KIDDING me? So in order to get the Proton Pack (minus the laser wand thingy) I have to get the cheap (and I am not talking price) "adult" girl version. Uggggg
What about the little girls?
Even the dog costume gets a cool Proton Pack
Hmmmm maybe not, but I could make her a trap thingy out of a shoe box, some black electrical tape and such. Making a mental note.
Hey! Oh Mr Blue Eyes!!! Want to be Slimer? Oh the beauty of coordinating outfits!
Boji the Ghost?
A Ghostbuster...
Why can't she just want to be Wonder Woman?
Cause she ain't afraid of no ghost!
