Cheap and easy Halloween costumes
Don't miss these great ideas for cheap Halloween costumes from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. They're fun ideas for these lean times. (That's a "Bubble Bath" costume made with balloons on the right.)
Speaking of Halloween costumes, I'm curious about when you get yours together. Every year, I wonder about the timing. If we decide on and buy (OK, yes, I'm not the crafty type) costumes too early, invariably the kids have changed their minds by Halloween. (Then, my rule is that they have to come up with something in the house after all, which usually works quite well as long as I do not have to sew.) But if you wait too long, your favorite costume might be hard to find.
What do you do?

My parents' rule was that they'd only buy one piece of a costume, and I had to make or scrounge up the rest. That wasn't hard because we had a huge pile of "dress-up clothes," as well as lots of leotards and tights from doing gymnastics -- which made being a black cat very easy! (They bought the mask.)

That's a great costume. I used purple baloons once and was a bunch of grapes.
