Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 30, 2014

By god – the Force is indeed with them!

The Force does it every time! ;)

What creativity!

Never underestimate a mom with a sheet!

Now that is a great mom!

Val is so awesome! May the force be with you!

Moms + budget + limited materials (ha ha!) = AWESOME!!!!

Now all they have to do is cover up with a bright colored rain poncho.

Yes; homemade costumes are SO much better! (Always did my own, even as a kid… went as Shakespeare one year…)

Very creative mom on Holly’s costume. I never think of that. And we been done forever for kids trick or treat.

Indiana Jones last night for the Trunk or Treat.. ☺

Good job Val!

Never under estimate a mom, they’ll surprise you.

WOOOOOOOGIE BOOGIE BOOGIE!!!!

I read somewhere a person dressed normally, wore a sign “Life” and carried a bag of lemons. (probably in one of the comments)

Dads rule too – my ex is wildly creative and always made our kids’ costumes. Still have a few 25 years later. Amazing what you can do with cardboard. He did his own as well…one year came as a tube of toothpaste.

My daughter and her best college friend stayed up late one night making a Holstein-cow costume. My daughter was the back end. I have a picture of them in this costume standing in our back yard. Sadly, the friend was broadsided by a guy fleeing the police and died not long before her wedding was scheduled. That photo is precious.
