@ZenGum. That's grub, not maggot, grub.

:lol:

Well, I went with maggots since they're on an army base ... maggots, raw recruits, etc.

Maggots being fly larvae, Goostav looks like some big beetle larva or something. Down under, folks would call that a witchetty grub and the strong-nerved would eat the sucker. Yep.

-grins- TECHNICALLY, we're talking Marine Corps base, but yeah... we get a lot of "boots" (Marines straight out of boot camp), and you occasionally hear some officer going off on someone for being an idiot, so "maggot" gets thrown around... I found the idea of dressing her up as a maggot to be quite apropos (sp?)

You win, I didn't make the military connection. :smack:

Pssst, Treasenuak, I think Zen is stalking you.

Bruce!!! SHHHHH!!!!!!!

My son wants to be a GATORADE BOTTLE. I can handle the bottom part of the bottle -- a few hula hoops with a clear table cloth attached, but holy heck, how do I do the top of the bottle?!?!?! --sigh-- Yet another disappointment he'll have to suffer through...

Smaller hoop with maybe some wire hangers to support the shape you want?

Cut holes in a large plastic pumpkin for her legs (the kind used as a candy bucket). Make or buy a green tam-o-shanter for her head and she's ready to go. My SIL did this with her kids.

cut down a plastic bucket from the dollar store, or get some old tupperware from the thrift store....

Believe monster. She is the halloween costume queen!

wow. "free paper toys" does not do justice to this collection of print-and-assemble spooky thingies

dar, a wonderful idea, but she DOES have to sit either in her stroller or my arms for the duration of the evening... I would think a plastic pumpkin would make either of those propositions rather difficult? Unless I'm missing something... which is quite possible.

Zen, stalk away, honey ;)

Put a rope handle on it, and carry it like a bucket. ;)

I don't think SIL had them in the pumpkin for very long at a time. Mostly for grandparent Kodak opportunities. They were wearing orange corduroy overalls, so that was the look for the rest of the evening.

10 month old kids are pretty much going to take off whatever they can figure out how to take off, anyway.
