Do you remember waaaay back in 1995 when M&Ms held their "Candy Colors Vote?" A new color was going to be added to the M&Ms mix, and it was up to the public to call in and cast their vote. The color choices were purple, blue, and pink.
I can remember it like it was yesterday; my friend, Margaret, and I called the hotline from her teen line (remember teen lines?!) and cast our votes. I remember being very passionate about the blue M&M, and how much I wanted that color to win.
Who knew 18 years later I would still hold such a passion for the letter M (Marcus, Macke, you get the picture) as well as the candy coated chocolate goodies...
Is that not the CUTEST blue M&M you've ever seen? No smile, one sock, and all.
It is possible I had to bribe this little M&M with none other than.. M&Ms. Obviously. He sat still long enough for these pictures and the consumption of 11 M&Ms.
There is more to this outfit, and Grandma Kathy worked too hard and sewed her heart out not to show you, even if Marcus refused to wear the entire ensemble.
Those gloves! The shoes! I'm really hoping I can get Marcus to wear the whole thing tonight while we're Trick or Treating. Wish me luck. Something tells me I'm going to fight and lose that battle.
From my sweet, blue candy-man...
Totally the cutest M&M ever. One sock and all. Can't WAIT to see a pic of the 3 of you!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Cutest M&M ever! Even with only one sock. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little M&M and what do you know we have to bribe with M&M's all the time!
ReplyDeleteGAH... The one sock kills me! He's the cutest M&M I've ever seen! And, I totally remember calling on my teen line to vote for blue!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I really appreciate the one sock look. I think that is the new toddler gang symbol
ReplyDeletetoo sweet! (get it?!)
ReplyDeleteI saw your IG pic last night and was going to ask... Is Scott going as the Peanut M&M bag?! ;)
I saw that and it reminded me of the Almond Joy/Mounds costumes that say "I HAVE NUTS" and "I DONT" lmao!
Eeek, too! Darn! Cute!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes I remember teen lines, wanted one soooooo bad!!!! I wanted one of those see through phones that had hot pink and blue and green wires inside to go along with it! :)
He is the cutest little M&M ever!! What an adorable costume!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome costume! Grandma Kathy did an amazing job! I especially love the one sock. That cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteCUTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Forget the shoes, I think the single sock wins :) But those gloves are a must--awesome!
ReplyDeleteI DO remember that!! I called the hotline too!! I remember the advertising on all of the M&M bags to call and pick the new color. Can you believe they ever even had TAN? WHY??
ReplyDeleteMarcus looks adorrrrable. You guys are going to be soooo cute tonight!!
that is such a great costume and hand made?! amazing!! I hope he wears the rest for you tonight! I had similar costume problems and I am hoping for better luck tonight with all the extra distractions. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute M&M! Great costume.
ReplyDeleteI love the one sock look! The costume is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Oh my word, I totally remember that! But the light brown ones were my favorite, so I've always been disappointed that they're gone!
ReplyDeleteBut, that blue M&M costume is making it all okay. : ) What a cutie you have there!
The one sock...I die!!! Cutest M&M I've ever seen! And we'll totally be bribing with chocolate tonight...it's worth it for a few good pictures ;) Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteAwesome costume!
ReplyDeletethat is adorable!! I'm semi addicted to m&ms!
ReplyDeleteAwesome costume! And my friends and I totally called and voted too! But I am pretty sure I picked purple...
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I was a red m&m once, I posted the picture on my blog last week. I love that he only has 1 sock on.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable lil blue M&M one sock, no smile and all! Now that you mention the new color contest, I totally remember calling to vote for a new color and I don't even eat chocolate or M&Ms for the matter all that much! Lord knows what color I was pulling for- totally possible that I changed color every time I called...
ReplyDeleteHope the little guy cooperated for Trick or Treating and wore his whole blue costume for ya!
The best costume! Love!
ReplyDeleteAnd those sweet Adidas! I'm hoping you won the battle, lol.
