For a month now, I have been looking for overalls to complete the boys' Halloween costumes. Tried the thrift stores: Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army. Nothing. Tried the consignment stores: Once Upon a Child. Tried cheapo department store like Meijer and WalMart, nothing. Definitely did not want to spend real money on them but I was running out of choices. Finally, today, a friend suggested Rural King, my mom suggested Tractor Supply, so I decided to try that route. Took the kids to Rural King after work, bought 2 pairs of overalls. $14 each, more than I wanted to spend, but we'll deal with that. The sum total of everything else for all the kids' costumes was about $17, including shoes, so we're good.
Behold, Mario and Luigi:
To finish their costumes, we'll paint mustaches on their little faces, and we're contemplating spraying their hair black with this temporary hair dyeing spray I have leftover from last Halloween. My kids don't look very Italian.
Mario is currently obsessed with plunging the floor. Hopefully he'll get that out of his system by Halloween.
Sophie has a princess costume, as you can see she's not wearing it in this picture. I have yet to get her excited about her princess dress, for now she wants to put on plumber gloves and carry around a plunger and will have nothing to do with anything princess-y. We might be in trouble.
