Adam is funny when it comes to Halloween costumes. He never wants to be what I want him to be which this year, was a soccer goalie ghost. I got him to dress up as the ghost for his friend's halloween party last week, due to lack of having anything else, but I could tell he was not happy with it. A few days after the party he came to me and told me he wanted to be the Travelocity Gnome. Okaaaay! (note sarcasm). So, on to the internet I went trying to see if they even have those costumes. The answer to that was Yes - for $39.99. No way am I spending $40 on a costume for Halloween. So, I gave Adam two choices: 1. Be the goalie ghost (which I thought turned out awesome) or 2. I will make you a Travelocity Gnome costume. He begrudgingly chose the second option. So, I went to Target and purchased an oversized mens blue shirt and then went to Roberts and got stiff felt, red posterboard, and ribbon and came up with this (all for around $10):
Pretty good if I do say so myself. Adam was even impressed and that is hard to do.
Alex and Abbi were much easier to dress. Abbi decided she wanted to be a 50's girl and we found this cute costume at Walmart:
Alex changed his mind several times. Throughout Halloween day he went from being a Lego Knight to a pirate to Elmo. For Trick-or-treating he was this:
