This year was a little harder to convince Sam on an idea but can you believe he was all for being a schoolbus!? Our costumes are usually centered around my hair, hence
Ms. Frizzle and The Magic School Bus!
We also kept the tradition alive of do it yourself costumes. I found a blue dress that worked and got to work making it into the space dress that Ms. Frizzle wears in the first episode. I only burned myself with the hotglue gun a couple times...
The bus was a little trickier and it took way longer to make than expected. We spent like 2 whole days on it! Surprisingly we had all the cardboard on hand from all of Sam's school book purchase and my online ZARA shopping addiction. Also we ran out of yellow paint so that's why it looks a little rough. And I looked totally ridiculous printing off Magic School Bus characters in the USD Law School Library. But we managed to pull it off! One little boy who was probably 4 years old and didn't even know what the magic school bus was went straight up to Sam and said, "COOL COSTUME!" I think he just had a thing for busses or he thought it was some sort of Transformer...
The best part of Halloween though was going to SkateWorld in costume, with all our friends. Literally the best night ever! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
