That Time I Made a Costume

I loathe, and I mean really loathe, making cotumes. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I do not like wasting my time making a costume that I should be able to just buy. Old Navy makes my favorite costumes. They are cute and warm and really inexpensive. I picked up Savanah's back in August because they tend to run out. 
 
Old Navy costumes only go to size 5T, which means that I have had to find other costumes for Landon the past few years. Which also means that I have had to resort to buying the cheap looking, polyester kinds, which really are not that cheap! Not this year. This year Landon insisted on being a spider, and I just couldn't find a spider his size anywhere.
So what's a mom to do? Begrudingly make one...
Some googly eyes glued to a beanie, and tubes of black fabric stuffed with batting and strung together with embroidary floss. Ta-Da! The easiest spider ever. Not the prettiest, scariest, or even the coolest, but definitely the easiest. And he loved it.
