Her boys, Ryan, 16, Sean, 14, Kyle, 11, and Cade, 8, all attend school in the Rocklin Unified School District and didn’t initially love the idea of their mom showing up at school decked out in an entire Halloween costume. But after six years, they’ve gotten used to it and have even joined in on the fun. They actually get excited for the surprise at the end of the day.

"How dare you — all of you! Standing around deciding my future." Waiting to do Jasmine all this time turned out awesome! The movie came out this year and I got to use Ryan and Sean! ……. Lucked out and found Ryan and my pants at thrift stores…Jasmines was years ago. Cut the sleeves off thrifted 2.00 red and blue jackets, hot glued or sewed ribbon on genie and Jasmine. Jasmine’s shirt is my old exercise shirt and i cut the neckline.aladdin’s hat is from a Dumbledore costume I made a few years ago. The genie’s pants: cut an old maxi skirt and made it into pants. Borrowed jasmine’s crown thank you @kara_sue2 borrowed aladdins shirt thank you @rachelleprice. Tassels and embellishments on aladdin’s vest were scraps from Thrifted curtains i used to make Dumbledore.

Her tradition has not gone unnoticed, especially to her kid’s classmates, teachers and administration at the school.

Motley told Yahoo Lifestyle, she believes the costumes have helped her kids by encouraging them to understand that being a little bit embarrassed isn’t the end of the world. She said, “I have seen my kids explain my costumes to many others like it is so normal, which has developed their courage and confidence.”

Uncle Sam! I want YOU to be a good citizen! Historically, Uncle Sam is linked to Samuel Wilson, a meat packer who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Wilson stamped the barrels with "U.S." for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as "Uncle Sam's." Then Uncle Sam was adapted for World War I and II to recruit to the U S ARMY. #proudtobeanamerican #busstopcostumessacramento #busstopcostumesunited

Monday, Motley spoke to students at Valley View Elementary School during a morning assembly; she was dressed up as Rafiki from the Lion King, while her son Sean dressed up as Scar. She expressed to Yahoo Lifestyle, “It was a wonderful opportunity to talk to our school about why I dress up and to teach them about kindness and respect.”
