So I know this is going to be hard to believe — given my reputation for having everything pulled together all the time — but I’ve had quite a few instances of last-minute, ” pull crap from all over your house and garage” because you need to make a costume. I know. It really is shocking.
Anyway, for my segment this week on News 4 Forum, I decided to look around for some good costumes for kids if you completely blew it and were stuck with just your fantastic imagination and a house full of stuff you used to think might make you a hoarder but now, in your hour of need, apparently was a great idea to keep.

My 3 year old wanted to be Alvin at the last minute. I turned one of Manchild’s red t-shirts inside out, cut a big “A” out of an old shirt, and glue sticked the crap out of it. Added a red had and whiskers… Ta-da! It was stupidly adorkable.
