“Jack”-o-lantern

“Jack”knife

The corkscrew hat was my favorite part!

“Jack”-in-the-box

“Mike”rophone. He wouldn’t keep his foam ball hat on!

Woody and “Mikey” mouse

Cookie Monster and Shrek

Shrek’s ears kept wilting!

Harry Potter

Michael insisted he was going to be Ron, but I got him to agree to Peter Pan because he could have a plastic sword.

A magical duo!

My best creations ever! And boy did they have fun hamming it up!

Fun night.

My little ladybug with her princess friend.

The cutest Tinkerbell ever!

The LED robot was great until the thermometer hit 87 degrees on Halloween!

Happy trio!

Peter Pan was recycled to join Sir Michael.

All Jack asked for was a black robe. He put together the rest.

Wolfman, ninja and Ariel

Old clothes and fake fur fabric = wolfman!

Black sweats, fabric scraps and iron on printable paper = ninja

A major sewing feat! No pattern. Up close it looks ridiculous, but she loved it!

Domo from Target ads! My largest costume by far.

Sleeping Beauty came from the Disney Store, but Humpty was 100% homemade and all Michael’s idea.

Again Michael surprised me with an unusual costume idea…a red skittle!

For the first time I used a sewing pattern for Jack’s leprechaun suit. The vest was totally made up though.

Michael strikes again with his idea to be a car air freshener. We even sprayed him down with pine scent!

Maggie made her tie dye shirt and I sewed the vest. Jack dressed himself to be Goth.

Maggie and I had fun rhinestoning her jean jacket and guitar for her Miley Cyrus costume.

Domo returns!

Lucky leprechaun strikes again!

Lots of yarn turned Duffy into a lion!

Purple monster was completely store bought, so the dog got the homemade costume this year!

Booster pack blast off! The flame pants were a pain to make, but looked really ool!
