I could do it, but I just don't have the time. I really hate having to work full-time! I did make my son a lasso for his cowboy costume, though. It didn't look great, but people got the idea, and he liked it.

Second, I agree with this. It is wise to know our limitations, and it's okay to show them to our kids. It's a much wiser choice than trying to do it all, getting frustrated, and having our children see and feel that frustration. I loved this!Trashy Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974972104716265849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411498686366661202.post-76944801613471128272013-10-22T18:52:10.891-07:002013-10-22T18:52:10.891-07:00I can't even thread a needle.

She made all of our costumes when we were kids and luckily she enjoys sewing-I tend to enjoy the other hands on parts (like making a utility belt out of duct tape for batman). I have done store bought too, but always with the idea that it would be used later for pretend play. My son was Jeff Gordon for several years for Halloween (his choice) so I can definitely say that costume was worth buying!

Therefore, we do Ghetto Costumes here. Admittedly, my son gets store-bought crap (that he loves) and my husband and I do "themed" with him that comes from whatever I can scrounge from the kitchen and the bathroom at the last minute. Today, I decided to be proactive with my idea. So far, I have ruined THREE of my white t-shirts. Yup.

I was a plastic Super Grover.
