The girls changed their minds about hundred times about what they wanted to be for Halloween! They finally made a decision! Whew!!!! YAY!!!!
1st Piper wanted to be a Black Cat, then a Ghost, then Tinker Bell, maybe Dorothy, maybe a Cowgirl again, and then a Princess, then a Bunny, then maybe a combination of them all.... URGGGGG
Presley wanted to be a scary Ghost, a Witch to Piper's Black Cat, a Princess, a cowgirl, Darth Vader, a combination of all of her past costumes that barely fit.....
Then she saw it at Walmart......a Skeleton! She wants to be a Skeleton this year. Then Piper saw it and Piper wants to be a skeleton this year. So they are skeletons this year.
Which is fine because it was super inexpensive! And super easy! Presley tried on a Skeleton costume that she saw there. It was a GIRLY one! Tutu and all! Super cute! BUT it was too big and SOOO cheaply made! So we didn't get it. But I think even though it was a cheap costume, we wouldn't have gotten it if it had fit just because it would be done.

So we were on the look for a girly skeleton costume in her size. When we were walking towards the registers, I saw the perfect alternative!!!! PJ's!!!! They were glow in the dark skeleton pajamas! They had a size for each girl and they were warmer than the costume AND half as much as the costume.
Now all I needed to do it make a skirt to make it GIRLY! Totally Do-Able! Mommy's crafty!
I went to Joann's Fabric, my 2nd home, and bought some black broadcloth, scary spooky gauze, and some elastic. And I had tulle at home, so that was free!
And in an afternoon, Presley had a Girly Skeleton Costume made! All we need are little finishing touches, like maybe some spooky stuff in her hair, face paint, black gloves, and her black chucks. PERFECT!
Oh, best thing......they can wear the pj's over and over again!

Now I need to start on Piper's!
Oh, did I mention that combined (buying the pj's and making the skirt) cost less than $15.00!!!

I can't wait to see what you come up with for the boys! I am half way done with Piper's skirt.
