Halloween Parties

If you know us, you know we love us some Halloween. We are invited to an annual Halloween Party each year and everyone dresses up.  As much as I love Halloween, I am frugal where costumes are concerned.  I love the thrill and creativity of putting together and making parts or all of a costume myself and refuse to pay in upwards of $100 for any costume!

So this year Emerson wanted to be a bat.  She just had her mind made up and their was no convincing her to be part of a family costume.  And she also had a very clear idea of what she wanted it to look like.  Wonder where that comes from...  So, here is our bat!  Cost less than $30 and the shirt and skirt can be worn again!

 And here we are. Do you know who we are? All Denny's idea.  I just had to execute.  Both of our suits came from Goodwill and each was less than $10.  Yes, that's correct...  The black crows came from the Dollar Tree on Siegen Lane as did my blond wig.  Birds were .99 each and the wig was $8. Fake blood came from the party store for $3.00.  I may still have blisters on my fingers from sewing all those damn birds on, because hot glue just would not hold them on. 

I guess I could always reuse the suit to dress up as Mama from Mama's Family next year...  Bonus!
