I love Halloween. I love fall! The leaves, the colors, the smells...aagghh. If only it would last longer. It seems like summer holds on for as long as possible (which, by the way I am NOT complaining about), and just when it really and truly feels like fall, its stupid cold winter. Bleh.
Every year I look forward to carving pumpkins and dressing up our little munchkins. What I don't enjoy is paying for costumes. Anything that is super cute and not cheap looking is, well, not cheap! I could make the kids' costumes except that I'm totally deficiant in the sewing department.
When I pulled out our fall decor I found a pumpkin costume that someone had given us in a bag of hand-me-down clothes years ago. Brody was so excited! He said that he wanted to wear that for Halloween. Unfortunately for him, it was Ry-ry's size, not his.
Then I remembered.....my mom probably had an old pumpkin costume that I wore as a little kid floating around somewhere. She went on the search and found it!
Score!
The only thing was, my little pumpkins sure looked skinny. They needed some plumping up. I knew no amount of dinners were going to do the trick so I invested in a little stuffing. I bought 2 bags for under 10 bucks.
Cheap and cute costumes? Doesn't get any better than that, my friends. They are the cutest pumpkins I ever saw!
