The name’s Tut, King Tut

Rate: 11 Flag

“Born in Michigonia.

Moved to Babylonia! King Tut!”

As a follow up to my last post, I thought you might enjoy seeing the result of my last-minute costume making. We've decided that next year, with a few minor adjustments (a space helmet, perhaps), my kid can go as an alien overlord.

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween. It was cold here in Michigonia!

Wow, great costume! I'm laughing (and in awe) that you have a plan for reusing it next year. Genius! Happy Halloween.

So many re-uses for that costume, you'll have to post next year's shot, too!

Excuse me now, while I slip into a sugar induced coma!

that's your "last minute?" Impressive! I'm more of a pillow-case-with-cut-out-eyes kinda Mom (last minute, that is).... sadly. Otherwise, I just trot on down to the Hallowe'en Costume store! The results are usually quite a lot more to the kids' liking.

(did I tell you I'm up for Mother of the Year?)

Great post! Very, very cute.

Thanks for the copliments on the costume, but you must understand that I didn't make the hat -- that we bought -- but I sewed up the tunic/toga thing. I am nowhere near good enough to put together a hat like that.

I am nursing a sugar hangover. Every year I say I am not going to eat any of the candy, but then, I do. And I am regretting it this morning.

You did a great job on it, Maria. You did your son proud, even if you do have a hangover. Fortuantely for me, I'm not much of a sugar eater (my hangovers are more of the traditional type), but I can sew buttons back on my shirts :-)
