Benjamina Button

I'm not a huge Halloween fan myself (read my Halloween hate letter here), but once you have kiddos, it gets a lot more fun! This year, Halloween will be an excuse to play dress up with my cute doll of a baby (which I already do every day), and get some free candy in the process.

My little drool bucket is dressing up as something that, like her, is mostly toothless, mostly hairless, mostly helpless, and somewhat hunchbacked - an old lady! I don't know why, but this costume is seriously cracking me up. I've looked at these pictures at least 10 times today, and I start laughing every time. You should see her confused face when I put the glasses on! She's not a huge fan of the homemade wig though.

10-MINUTE OLD LADY HALLOWEEN COSTUME SUPPLIES

baby wig - I hot glued cotton balls onto one of baby's old hats. Literally took me 10 minutes maximum. Extra points if you add a touch of silver or grey spray paint.

brooch (I borrowed mine from my granny)

cardigan

kid-sized sunglasses, lenses popped out

glasses chain (I got mine at Walmart for $4)

That's it! If your baby is walking, I've seen lots of super cute DIY walkers made out of PVC pipe. 

She had a glimpse of what she will look like when she's old, and she was not impressed. Ah, mortality ;)

In the first and third pictures here, I had her hat on backwards, so you can see some bald spots on the wig. Make sure to glue a lot of cotton balls on, and remember that the hat expands when you stretch it out to fit over a head!

Happy Halloween!

Who else is loving not dressing up

And just dressing up their kids instead?
