After searching for a little monster costume that was not overly expensive but still adorable I came up short handed. … Read more
Admittedly, we just bought the Elmo suit for my oldest son. My Super Grover 2.0 costume was a labor of love, as was the Oscar the Grouch costume: For Grover, I used adult sized footie-pajamas from Target. I made a red cape from fabric I had lying around. The helmet was a child’s toy knight … Read more

I was walking through a Wal-mart when I saw some Fuzzy green microfleece blankets on sale. It hit me that I needed to be part of Sesame Street. Deciding on Oscar was easy, … Read more
Each year, there is a 5K race done in our area around Halloween to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. Not only is this a great cause, it is really fun to be in costume running a race! We decided to go as Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. Both were a lot of work but, … Read more
First I used a clothes basket I found at Goodwill and decorated it with yellow feathers by hand sewing the yellow boas that I found online to the basket for my Big Bird costume. This basket made the first part of the head piece by turning it upside down and making it into a hat. … Read more
