Speaker 1: lost you.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we've got the beard and the mustache. So
Speaker 2: we've managed to make a suit just out of for
Speaker 2: some reason. Also in the dressed up box was a
Speaker 2: brown suit. But it's like, do you know those costumes
Speaker 2: that you can get Christmas time with the blow up Rudolph,
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? And the blows up
Speaker 2: and then it looks like you're riding the reindeer.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So somehow we had one of those, and so there
Speaker 2: was a pretend suit for the man.
Speaker 1: What is the man riding reindeer? Anyway? I don't know?
Speaker 1: And it's brown, pinstripe.
Speaker 3: Gangster.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is, though, is the Jays like pinning
Speaker 2: this suit to her, like rolling up the sleeves and
Speaker 2: making it fit her better but this suit is made
Speaker 2: of the thinnest like nylon material. I said, she's going
Speaker 2: to go into school. People are gonna think that your suits.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: In this podcast before, but Holly what I just am
Speaker 3: trying so hard to bring it back.
Speaker 4: Okay, they're in a brown pin striped suit.
Speaker 2: She wears the worst material people. That's what's really making
Speaker 2: me because wearing it wear some horrible cheap suits.
Speaker 1: So she's got that.
Speaker 2: So she's got her outfit sorted, stop past office works,
Speaker 2: got the easels and the cardboard and actually, then this
Speaker 2: is where I turned from a bad mom into a
Speaker 2: good mum. Well, although we just pulled together. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so I just make myself even better because we're at
Speaker 2: the stage now where you know, we're on wine down time,
Speaker 2: showers start speaking about bedtime, lunchboxes need to be made,
Speaker 2: Jay and I hadn't eaten dinner, all.
Speaker 1: Of that stuff going on. She's got all in a panic.
Speaker 2: Because she hasn't printed out the stuff she needs to
Speaker 2: print out to stick on the card to then make
Speaker 2: the presentation. So then I've said, okay, we're going to
Speaker 2: do it as a family.
Speaker 1: So the four of us.
Speaker 2: In there printing out sticking it onto the paper. Tell
Speaker 2: you what else we did, because it's olden days. She
Speaker 2: was being someone from the olden days. We tea stained.
Speaker 1: All the paper, you know how you Yeah, I love
Speaker 1: that around the edge.
Speaker 4: It's very creative.
Speaker 2: And then one of them had the idea to set
Speaker 2: fire to the edges to make it look burn.
Speaker 4: That's awesome. Yeah, that was my next question.
Speaker 3: Was a lot of talk about dressing up, and I
Speaker 3: didn't know who she dressed up as, so it's just
Speaker 3: someone in the olden days.
Speaker 2: It's the man that invented Cobb and Cob, something to
Speaker 2: do with the gold Rush.
Speaker 4: Well, that suit would have been absolutely facts for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a speared.
Speaker 1: It's a good job she wasn't in your house to
Speaker 1: dressed as Santa. Same thing. The sad part.
Speaker 3: Is both of my kids he got dressed up tomorrow
Speaker 3: and I was already like, how.
Speaker 4: Can I just pull it together with whatever we've got
Speaker 4: instead of having to send them in brand new stuff.
Speaker 2: Don't dress them up as Jesus because you have no
Speaker 2: idea what.
Speaker 1: He looks like.
Speaker 3: My kids want to dress up tomorrow as a hero,
Speaker 3: go as your hero. Gracie wants to go as a cowgirl. Okay, well,
Speaker 3: I don't know why because it's not her hero. She said,
Speaker 3: you used to like riding horses.
Speaker 4: Oh you're a hero yea. So she said, I want to.
Speaker 3: Dress up as a cowgirl. So I said, oh, that's fine,
Speaker 3: we can pull it together.
Speaker 1: You've got boots.
Speaker 4: She goes, yeah, I want to wear that red shirt,
Speaker 4: and I was like, what red shirt?
Speaker 3: Another one of those mum moments where I've thrown it
Speaker 3: out because I thought she had. So now I have
Speaker 3: to go past kmart and try and find like a
Speaker 3: checkered shirt.
Speaker 1: She wants to be Jesse out of toy story.
Speaker 4: That I thought, I have Jesse the dress up for
Speaker 4: me my size. We could just pin that because we
Speaker 4: do something.
Speaker 1: Why do you have that?
Speaker 3: We dress up every year for Halloween, all four of us,
Speaker 3: and that was mine for last year.
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like this episode is not
Speaker 2: very relatable because I don't think there's anyone out there
Speaker 2: with a Jesse costume or Jesus costume just hanging around
Speaker 2: in the wardrobe.
Speaker 3: What I'm going to take from this episode is I
Speaker 3: probably need to do a few more studies around religions
Speaker 3: and appearances and you reckon don't invite me to a
Speaker 3: fancy dress.
