My husband downloaded the demo of LEGO Indiana Jones for our X-Box 360. My four year old son saw him playing the game one day and wanted to try it for himself. Now he is hooked. Everywhere we go it’s Indiana Jones this and Indiana Jones that. He looks at the toys in the stores … Read more
Zach’s Computer Costume 2010 — This costume, to be honest, was not handmade by us. A couple of years ago we were in a reuse centre and my son, Zach, then 5 years old, was so thrilled to find this costume. He kept saying “I can’t believe anyone would give this away!” It really was … Read more

We had a halloween theme party that year and it was “Red Carpet”. I went as the National Enquirer. I just got a board and then put stupid stuff on it like ” Two headed woman gives birth”, ect.

I decided to mimic a Lady Gaga Costume from the outfit Lady Gaga wore to last year’s MTV music video awards. She wore her hair curly and her red lace dress covered her face and had a cape. It also had a tall medieval looking crown. I bought nude fabric and sewed it in a … Read more
A bunch of my girl friends and I were sitting around the night before Halloween trying to figure out a unique costume idea that would top everyone else’s.

Last Halloween we made a Homemade Transforming Optimus Prime Costume for my son. Unlike most transformer costumes, this one actually transformed! We bought an old Power Wheels body and cut it apart with a heat torch. We kept the nose (hood, fenders and grill together), the cab, and the bed as three full pieces, which … Read more

My husband actually had this idea of a Mr. Potato Head Pregnant Belly Costume though and I figured it couldn’t get much easier and it ended up being a HUGE hit! … Read more
