Halloween is approaching. Apparently my children are also approaching the age of wanting to pick out their own costumes.
The PreSchooler actually wanted to be Wall-E last year, but I made them both minions instead. He has periodically reminded me all year though that he wants a Wall-E costume. So no amount of suggestions have changed his mind. We are now committed...and also off put by DIY tutorials with months worth of effort, or a $50 purchase price with horrible reviews. I'm leaning towards cardboard box, paint, duct tape, and my sister's creative talents.
The Big D has changed from Buzz Lightyear, Fire Fighter, and Bob the Builder/Fix it Felix (all easy-ish custumes...mom was rooting for using the tool belt we already have and possibly a hat). However he has now settled on a Flying Tractor. I thought time and reminding him of other possibilities would help...but nope, Flying Tractor it is.
I'm open for ideas! Please comment.
***Bonus Question: Do costumes bring out your crafty or your checkbook?***
Although I did buy costumes one year (Star Wars) I much prefer the old fashioned home made ones.
