A few month ago when the latest Pottery Barn Kids catalogue arrived in our mailbox, Sunny fell in love with this donut costume. The price was somewhere around 100 bucks and there was NO way she was going to pay $100 bucks for a Halloween costume! (and you really think Adam would go for it?!?!?) Anyway... to make a long story short, she thought to herself (yes, she talks to herself on a regular basis and don't pretend that you don't do the same! LOL) "I can make this." Ok, so Sunny has NEVER in her life even sewed on a button let alone a freakin' donut costume! But being the thrifty wife and mother she is, she set out to buy a sewing machine, fabric, thread (she even had to call up a friend to ask her what kind!) and all the goods to put together a donut. I know you are thinking to yourself it would have been cheaper to just buy the costume at that point and yes, you are right! Seriously though... look at that picture above... TOTALLY worth it!! :) Yes, we are well aware that Quincy will hate us when she is older, but in the meantime she LOVES her little donut costume and still carries it around the house.
Sewing machine $150 bucks
Material $20 bucks
Bandaids after sewing through fingers $2 bucks
Our little donut on Halloween.... Priceless!! :)
Please enjoy the rest of our family dressed up on Halloween. Meet the cop with the nasty mustache, the robber who can't see out of her mask and the cutest donut on the planet!
