Halloween snuck up fast again this year. It never helps that I procrastinate to find and sew last minute costume items. But I think everything turned out really well. I am one of those moms who refuse to spend gobs of money on a costume. And I refuse to let my kids costumes look cheap and stupid. Kaden is still at the age where I can decide his costume for him. We were at Value Village and saw a cowboy hat at for $1 and so the idea of Sheriff Woody developed from there. Of course I could have just bought one of those premade, packaged costumes but how lame is that?
I bought a black vest and some cow print material...sew them together and you get Woodys vest. I also found a similiar yellow shirt at the thrift store. We already had the guns and the badge.
I think he looks so cute!!
Kyler started out wanting to be a disco dancer but we just couldn't find the right clothes his size. So then he decided on a clown but then at the last minute I suggested a Mime. I didn't think we would find the hat as easily as we did and we had to search the womens section at the thrift store for the stripped shirt and vest. White gloves could not be found but I still think he turned out pretty great!
Total cost for both costumes...
$20!!
It has literally been raining all month but thankfully it stopped just in time for trick or treating.
I had my "adult" hot chocolate to see me through the evening!
Kaden had a blast! He was so excited that every house he went to..they gave him more candy. The great thing about my kids at their age right now is that Kyler can go off with his frends and Kaden is pretty much done once we go around the block
It was a good night with a ton of trick or treaters
Happy Halloween from our house to yours!
