The BEST Halloween Costume...EVER!
So, we are going trick-or-treating with some friends of ours. They have a superhero theme this year-which works out perfectly for us since we have the Wonder Woman costume already. I decided that that's what Hayden would be on the actual day of Halloween since she will be walking around trick-or-treating with the other kids. Layne will be in a stroller or be carried, so she doesn't have to fit the theme really.
Last night I thought and thought about what it the world little Layner could be. We have some camo clothes for her, so she could be a hunter with that dead animal hat. We have a UPS outfit for her too, so she could be a UPS worker. I really wanted to have her make a statement with her costume.......
Then it hit me.....A TERRIBLE TOWEL! The guys on staff at DP...ok, really it's just 2 of them...like to talk trash about the Steelers. It just so happens that we will be trick-or-treating with both of them on Halloween. SWEET!
I actually have 3 terrible towels (2 Superbowl XLIII versions and 1 original). I sewed together the 2 Superbowl versions to make the "dress" for Layner. Don't worry, it's a very simple wide stitch that I can easily undo when Halloween is over!! I really wanted her to wear something on her head but I COULD NOT cut up one of the TTs. So instead, I cut up my favorite towels from my childhood. I know it sounds weird that I have a favorite bath towel from my childhood, but this one wad my name on it in big bright colors. It was just a special towel. But, I would have rather sacrificed that towel than cut up the original Terrible Towel!!
