Our Frugal Halloween, Under Duress
Oh, yeah, I’m behind the times. This post should have been written a few months ago. Better late than never!
We took the kids to the local YMCA this year for their annual Halloween party, and at first it looked like they were the only kids there with home-made costumes. (I eventually saw a few others.)
I would pat myself on the back for this, were it not for the fact that I searched high and low for the costumes they asked for … and could not find them sold in any store, online or brick and mortar, or ebay or anywhere!
They asked for … Underdog!
Now, being a Disney produced movie, I can only assume that there was some seriously messed up rights issues with the cartoon … because, come on. Disney movie? No promotional tie-ins? No toys? No Halloween costumes? Nothing? But it’s the kids’ favorite movie, and by golly, they wanted to be Underdogs for Halloween.
Owen has a cape, as well, but was not okay with it being tied around his neck. I ended up safety-pinning it to the back of his sweatshirt.
And finally, an Underdog “action shot” from Audrey:
