Martha Stewart magazines always have great ideas, this year there was a "storm chasers" one, a boy was a tornado (with gray tulle and leaves and sticks wrapped around him in a funnel shape) and a girl was the storm chaser with an inside-out umbrella, rain coat and boots and a microphone with letters on it like she was a tv reporter. Great costume for siblings or friends.

I dont persay have a favorite halloween costume to make, but i do know its more fun to make your own rather than spending the ridiculuos amount stores want you to pay for a couple hours. The old school way is the best way to go!!! And we even got more candy back then than kids do today. Halloween is a fun night, but if you ask me, its definately not the same anymore.

Cardboard boxes make space ships, Titanic models, airplanes, tanks....boy costumes! I have grandsons. :-)

"Blooming Idiot" costume made from fresh flowers and reused silk flowers.
