(Baxter, the Bat)I’m trying to come up with a great Halloween idea for my kids this year. Last year, we didn’t do anything special, because George was once again not feeling well…but this year, we hope to really do a bang-up job!
The year before that we had a Star Wars theme…and I have to say, the boys were cute as buttons (in a totally Star-Warsish-tough-guy way).
Here were my three big boys:
And then came our little George…I made his costume:
Yep, those are Shrek ears, folded down. Simple. The shirt is just a brown onesie (does yours have words on it? turn it inside out, or better yet, backwards!). Then brown pants. The “jacket” is a simple tan sheet, cut in the shape of a hoodie, then sew the sleeves together and put the hood together. Had I been blogging at that time, I totally would have shown a step-by-step way to make your own. Dang it!
Oh well, if you have specific questions on how to make one, I can make another and show it to you…it was a rough finish, but from a distance no one could tell. And I don’t think it turned out too bad!
But now for ideas for this year. Anyone?
My 3 year old has decided to be the UPS man. I am going to put the baby in a brown hoodie with “Handle with Care” ironed on. And then wrap a UPS box around the wagon for trick or treating.
LOVE all the ‘force’ costumes!
Thanks for linking up to #BOO thoroughly enjoying meeting and greeting out in the blogosphere without candy sadly, but my *ss is thankful!
