Halloween is a big deal in our house. A big deal may even be an understatement! These kids are already talking smack about what they want to dress up as next year. We really like to stay away from the store bought costumes if at all possible, not only because they are flippin' $30 & when you have three kids…I don't even want to think about it. We also stay away from them because it's just boring, creativity is key! That being said when my middle son, Zion, came up & said he wanted to be a toilet I was all about it! Just before, as often time it happens, he changed his mind but MAN a toilet would have been so funny. Anyway, dressing up as a cat proved almost as hard because once we headed to the costume stores I found that it's not easy to find a costume of a cat that's not of the sexy variety. Really though; sexy cat, sexy crayon, sexy Elmo, now that I think about it I should totally get a patent on sexy toilet before it's to late!
cheap ass…THRIFTY dad mode & found this video on Youtube. Not only does she show you how to do it but she also gives you download links to the images to print. I had to do a lot of clipping to get it to fit the box but hey, it was free! Then on the same youtube channel she has how to make a sword & pick ax! The kids flipped! I hot glued a bit of cheese cloth into the box to cover the eyes so they would be white & we were good to go!
