Wyatt needed a costume for his Halloween concert last night. I was hoping he could just wear his viking costume from years past but I discovered yesterday in getting it out that his helmet had been demolished. Shoot! Owen's was fine but Wyatt's head is definitely not the same size. I had to come up with something quick and I didn't have time to go to the store for materials. I was putting away clothes and saw one of Wyatt's yellow shirts.
*Lightbulb*
So, this is my 15-minute-procrastination-use-what-you've-got-in-the-house costume.

The pictures aren't very good but I used an old yellow beanie with a black stripe around the bottom. It was perfect for a minion head. Cut off toilet paper rolls wrapped in tin foil made eyes and black pipe cleaners poked through the top made minion hair (wish you could see that in the pics). Jason's old mission suspenders finished it off. He said he felt like a dork but I thought it was pretty nifty for 15 minutes.
The concert was great and I thought the 7th graders sounded better than the 8th so way to go Wyatt!
That costume is awesome!
