Happy Halloween!!
Friday, October 31, 2008 at 12:40AM As promised...
The boys and I getting ready to head into our homeschool group Halloween party earlier tonight. (Micah was trying to get us all to stand on one foot.) Yup, three little robots and a "robot repair and documentation specialist"...well, technically, Micah still thinks he's Diego. We wrote "UltraDiego" on his costume and apparently that's sufficient. (Nathan opted not to make a costume, lol.)
On the costumes...we used shower liner from Home Depot for the main body (a rectangle with a head hole) and then attached old computer parts and stickers and colored electrical tape (each boy decorated his own). Noah and Asher have duct vent arms, and each made/designed their own "helmets" with stuff from the Dollar Store. Along the sides, I used my handy Crop-A-Dile to punch holes and then used zip ties to hold them together (yes, we had to cut them out of their costumes). We didn't use them tonight, but Noah and Asher also have jet packs for their backs...will see if we can figure out how to attach them tomorrow. :) (They're made from duct tape covered shoe boxes with plunger jets and decorated with more computer parts and electrical tape.)
So. Those are our costumes. :) The boys had a blast at the party and are looking forward to trick or treating. I'm bracing myself for the sugar rush and crash, LOL! Since I probably won't post again until this weekend...Happy Halloween!!
