I remember posting about this before but I think it was back in May or so, not last Halloween. I just thought you all would like to know the progress I've made on it. This is just the blueprints, so to speak, of my costume :). Mainly I wanted to see what everyone's input would be and they would share their costumes or their Halloween projects. Sorry for all the confusion! Brad AKA Moonwolf

Hi, The flower on the body is a circle with the same 'fingers', stitched around a plastic lid, probably from a can of nuts or something. The lid has some batting on it. The circle is stitched around the back, kind of like covering a button. The head is part of a Halloween costume pattern for a lion or bunny that has a headpiece. The top and pants are a simple pattern made with 2 layers. The outside layer is green stretchy lace. The slippers are cheap bug slippers. It's fun and easy to cover plain slippers with the costume fabric. Most kid's slippers are comfortable and aren't slippery. They can wear them with the costume, then have fun wearing them till they grow out of them. I hope to see your finished costume, Linda

I am dressing my DS)9) as a UPS man this year. I bought brown cargo shorts and a brown button down shirt at Childrens Place. Got a brown UPS cap on clearance at K Mart months ago for $1.20 (thats what inspired me). I already have the perfect size Amazon box for him to flip open for candy as he says "trick or treat". His eyeglasses turn dark in the light so they will look like sunglasses I think. All I need is to get short brown socks and to figure out an easy way to make a UPS logo for the shirt. hmmm....as for Grant, it reminds me of when my daughter was 2. She cried and carried on not wanting to wear the hat to her lion costume. In our pictures inside, she is not wearing the hat, but once she got outside in the stroller to trick or treat I was able to put the hat on while she stared at costumed kids. She didn't even seem to care anymore. The following year she was a clown and I painted her blond hair with pink hair mascara. It came out nice-no hat needed. You could probably get Grant some caped kid pjs at Target. They used to carry Superman and Batman, I think they still do. I had to buy them in 2 sizes because my son and daughter both liked to wear them. Does Grant like any particular characters?? He'd be a cute Bob The Builder! Someone mentioned a mailman-when my other daughter was in 1st grade they had Career Day. She dressed as a 'mailgirl' and delivered her homework in a priority mail envelope LOL!! I like the scarecrow idea! Thats not something you normally see.
