Halloween and Homemade Costumes





This year for Halloween, we were forced by a lack of funds to get very creative with costumes. Marlowe and Mason dressed up as Dora and Diego. I had fun studying exactly what they wore and what color their clothes were. Using our local thrift stores, Wal-Mart, pieces of costumes from past Halloweens, and some paper and a marker, we were able to come up with everything we needed for about ten bucks. Mese's costume, Mr. T, which he came up with the morning of, was a huge hit at the family Halloween party. Somehow he always does that. Every year he has no idea what he is going to be, but at the last minute he comes up with something amazing. His costume was very budget friendly too and, yes, that is his real hair. It was a lot of fun. Thank you Darcy Patterson for the pictures.

Marlowe could easily be Dora's double. Great costumes. We had to scramble for costumes at the last minute, too. Ours were made from old t-shirts, duct tape, and paper bags :) We had loads of fun! I can't get over how much Mese looks like Mr. T. That's an AWESOME costume. A neighbor dressed up like Michael Jackson in Thriller. Love those 80's!!
