If your kids are anything like my kids… they want me to dress up for Halloween. Last year was the first year the “begging” started. My husband (the ever-loving-Halloween-Dad) donned a Chicken Suit for his sons. I knew I had to do something, so I pulled together a “punk” look. My sons didn’t know what the “punk” look was, but they thought I looked funny in a purple wig (I still had from college) and crazy makeup.
So this year… the challenge was on. I don’t like buying costumes for myself. I’m already trying to justify the
$100 on costumes for the boys. I needed some DIY Halloween Costumes. Here are my “Mom” ideas:
Cowgirl Costume
Hiker
American Tourist
Athlete
Nerd
PJ’s
Rainbow
Skiier
Schoolgirl
I knew I should have checked my reader before going to the elementary school Halloween parade! I could have been all these things and my costume from my closet would have been far more interesting than the orange shirt I wore! Thanks for the ideas for tomorrow!
Love your ideas!
I have almost all of the things in #1 except the boots…hmmm, maybe I’ll be a Hawaiian cowgirl wearing slippas
