The last minute Phineas and Ferb costume scramble paid off, because my nephew’s homemade Agent P costume turned out great.  So, to celebrate, here’s Perry the Platypus’ theme song:

I hope everyone else has success with kids’ Halloween costumes this year.  Now get out there and enjoy the day!

I had never heard of Phineas and Ferb until this weekend when my nephew announced that he intended to go as Perry the Platypus for Halloween.   Never mind that Halloween is less than 2 weeks away and Phineas, Ferb, and Perry the Platypus Halloween costumes don’t exist.  Sigh.

The upside of this last minute scramble to make a Perry the Platypus costume is that I am learning a ton about the hit Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb.  Here’s the rundown, so you can keep up with the kids in your life:

• Several of the characters on Phineas and Ferb are voiced by actors like Allison Janney, Malcolm McDowell and Caroline Rhea, to name a few.  That’s pretty cool.
• The official Phineas and Ferb website is chock full of fun activities for kids, but seriously, invest in earplugs before letting your little ones check it out.  You will thank me.
• Each episode of Phineas and Ferb has at least one musical number, with songs like Gitchi-Gitchi-Goo, that may get stuck in your brain for days.  Again, ear plugs may help avoid this annoyance.

Ok, that is all I have for now.  I am off to continue my quest for a teal sweatsuit that can be transformed into a Perry the Platypus costume.  Wish me luck.
