Farm boys seem to have their own unique ideas of what makes a great Halloween costume. I probably don't help this matter when I am one of those moms that would prefer to make our costumes instead of buy them. I thought you might enjoy a couple of our favorite Halloween costumes.
The John Deere Tractor:
 |
| Safety first: no tractor is complete without a Slow Moving Vehicle emblem on the back. |
 |
| The hardest part of this costume is keeping the 2 boxes connected. This year, we used bolts and nuts to hold them together. |
 |
| He insisted on the muffler that he found himself. Foam pipe insulation made a great light weight muffler. |
The Ear of Corn
 |
| This has been one of my favorite costumes over the years. I printed the corn design onto iron on paper and applied to white material that we sewed into the green shucks. The silks we left over from a centerpiece I had at some time...kind of like gold Christmas tree icicles but stiffer. When one of the boys was younger, we loaded him into a wagon filled with real ears of corn for the local kiddie parade. | | | | | | |

Do you have a favorite costume that your kids have used over the years?
