{Remember this box?}
I spray-painted it silver and glued ketchup cups {from Burger King!} on it {after painting them silver too} for the knobs and used a hanger wrapped in silver pipe cleaners for the antennae. I think it turned out okay...and Alex thinks it's cool! That's all that matters to me! He also chose to be a JVC! He really knows his electronics!
He was a hit when he had the chance to try it out at a Halloween party at the public library! He only knocked out a few little kids when he turned from side to side!
Emily, was thrilled to get the chance to have pink hair {although the pictures don't show it very well} and dress up in her pink leopard costume...Meow!
{Emily and another lovely pink leopard}Alex and Emily had a fun night playing games and getting lots of treats!
{Don't you love the little girl's dress in front of Alex & Emily? She is a friend of Emily's and this was a tutu from the dance recital they were in! I love it, it's so cute!}
We are excited for trick-or-treating...I really hope the rain holds off! We don't want Alex to short-out if he gets wet...and cats do not like the rain!
Carrie, you did an amazing job! I love that he picked out his own brand too. Of course Emily is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose outfits are just too cute. I love the radio. So glad he only took out a few kids! BAAA HAAA. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think the boom box is the most creative costume I've seen!! What a great idea! The kids looked adorable as usual! :)
ReplyDeleteThat JVC is just too funny! What a great idea. Love the idea for the knobs too. So great. And Emily looks adorable in her hot pink kitty get-up. You have the most adorable little kids, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteOh, you did a GREAT JOB turning that into a radio. I'd have never thought to use those little ketchup cups, but they're PURRRRFECT! ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteThey both look darling!
I have no idea what Alex is... what on earth is that machine that says JVC? ;)
ReplyDeleteFabulous... job well done!
Alex as a radio?? That is so cute! You did a great job! And Emily is adorable as a pink leopard! But then, she would be cute being anything!! :)
ReplyDeleteThose costumes are fantastic. I wish I could be creative enough to make a costume. My son has a silly hat day on Friday and he said something about making it. I don't know if I can! Such fun photos! I bet they had a blast at the party.
ReplyDeleteVery cute costumes Carrie. I love Alex's -it is so adorable. It fits him perfectly, especially with his electronics obsession. :) Emily makes a very cute leopard. Pink is her color. Have a Happy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteThey both look SUPER cute! I love a great creative Halloween costume! The box ideas are always so much fun...but I think my boys would hate being confined for so long. Maybe when they are a little older!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...I love Alex's costume...so creative! Fabulous! And Em makes a super cute pick leopard!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the valley too...and it was down right chilly yesterday and today (50-60s) which is cold for us!! Last October we were in the 100s many of the days...not to much this year! Hope he had a nice visit!
