This year I wanted to get a little more creative with their costumes, so we picked out ideas early, then procrastinated until last week...cuz that's how I roll. Here's what we ended up with.
Macy: Butterfly
Macy saw this sparkly pink fabric in the clearance bin at the fabric store and knew her costume needed it. We went with black leggings and t-shirt from her closet and wings from sprawl-mart. I wish I'd had the time and inclination to make wings, but, well, I just didn't. We spent $8 on the wings and fabric for this costume.
Fletcher: Sheriff Woody
Let's just say it's a good thing he's only five and not all that observant yet. His jeans and cowboy shirt were from his closet, bandanna from Hobby Lobby, and vest I made (I didn't realize until later that Woody's vest is actually a cow print - oops.). His hat and badge were part of a costume that Mr. Greenhab wore several years ago. I spent about $2 total for this costume. Not a great Woody replica, but he makes a darn cute cowboy!
Felix: DJ Lance Rock
If you're not familiar with the show Yo Gabba Gabba well then you're probably lucky. It's like Sesame Street on acid, but the kids love it. Here's the cast:
Felix's DJ Lance costume was made from orange sweats that I embellished with ribbon, a cute little hat made from fleece, black glasses from sprawl-mart and a sweet boom box that Mr. Greenhab spray painted. His outfit was the most expensive at about $10. It was a huge hit among the few who actually know Yo Gabba Gabba, but cracks me up every time I see it. That's really all that matters.
I'm pretty pleased with the costumes and I think the kids are too. Hopefully they'll want to go homemade again next year. When do they get too cool for that anyway??
Happy Halloween everyone!
