My brother's spiderman costume was genius and made out of two turtlenecks and an old pair of blue tights. Target should be marketing the ingenuity of making your own costumes by selling the materials to do so AND selling costumes if you don't have time to make them. Sheesh. They should have just asked us. Right? My mom made us the best costumes ever out of things we already had at home.

It kind of reminds me of a Halloween version of that awesome "Christmas Story" movie (you know—with the leg lamp?) I can totally see Ralphie's mom making him wear a Great Pumpkin costume (anachronistic yes, but still, I can totally see it!) HAHAHAHA! That’s so classic.

Although, I have also noticed a lot of the more affluent kids have super busy parents so they usually have store bought costumes, as well. We kind of mix it up, depending on what the kids want to be. I try to steer them away from ideas where a store bought costume will suffice because they're usually so common and un-unique. Either way, Target sucks for making ANYONE feel bad about Halloween. It's supposed to be fun, dammit! Yeah, I think some of that goes on here, too.
