Tonight We Make a Costume

I love Halloween but I don't think people have to try as hard now to come up with cool costumes. Back when I was a kid, a store bought costume was something everyone laughed at, the creative ones were the best. But the store ones are really cool now so I can see the appeal of purchasing one but I'm a sucker for seeing what people can create themselves.

So I've decided to try and be creative with the lil' ones'

(while he can't complain too much about not looking like everyone else). Here's some ideas I'm working off of for my Crispy Critter..

Tonight we're going to go shopping to buy stuff so his costume will be ready for tomorrow's Halloween thing up at Dad's recovery place.

I know I want him to look bug like or little critterish- a tail would be cool, a head thing isn't likely going to be worn for long and he doesn't really like things that aren't as they should be so hopefully what we come up with will work.

We might just burn up some clothes and make him all ashy- and have him be burned out. I'm not sure about this idea because it doesn't seem too kidlike and I want him to like his costume. I love the idea of working his costume with his brothers- the Human Torch.

What was your best Homemade costume- mine was Sleepy (as in Snow White and the 7 dwarfs). I had the big ears, floppy hat, potato sac shoes and a long droopy robe with oversized white mittens and super long eyelashes. I LOVED IT.
