We are ready for Trick-or-Treating!
We made the R2-D2 costume for #1 a few years ago, and it now fits our son perfectly…. which made the choice for the other characters obvious. Click here for more photos from our shoot 2 weeks ago.

Star Warsy Mr. Pumpkin Head
Despite my cheese carving endeavors, I have never been much of a pumpkin carver. We do the basic monster faces every year, and even that is under some protest on my part. Having spent countless hours playing with the kids and their Darth Tater
These ARE the Droids I was Looking for!
The Big Reveal!
M4P 2015 DIY Star Wars Costumes: C-3PO and R2-D2.
C-3PO and R2-D2 are just like our kids. They fight, argue, bicker, they insult and occasionally even kick each other… Don’t believe me? Here are some side-by-side comparisons from A New Hope, and our house.
X-Wing Perler Bead Coaster
Seeing the new trailer, I am itching to make patterns of The Force Awakens characters. I am hoping to have the 5 new core characters designed and posted before the movie opens up – so stay tuned! In the meantime, here is one of the ships that is used in The Force Awakens, as well as the original movies.
Silly Mommy, Tricks (-or-Treat) is for Kids!
Since I am a kid at heart, I figured I am allowed to enjoy trick-or-treating as much as the kids do. But I don’t dress up. Well, I don’t dress up MUCH.
The trick is to dress up enough to reinforce the theme, but not so much that you take the focus away from the little ones…
The Littlest Nerfherder (DIY Han Solo Holster)
Without a good holster, your blaster might get stuck, and then Greedo will shoot first…and we all know how terrible THAT would be. (DON’T get me started!)
With the exception of the holster, Han Solo’s costume was probably the simplest Star Wars costume we have made to date. It was done in a just a few hours. The holster on the other hand took some tinkering – but worth it, it is what makes Han’s costume cool!
