2013…The Year of the Minions

Our kids just love the movie, Despicable Me! For months now, it has unanimously been the movie of choice for long road trips. How could you not fall in love with those adorable little minions??  When we asked the kids if they wanted to be minions for Halloween this year, the answer was a resounding, "Yesssss!!!"

There are so many different pictures and tutorials that can be found online for creating that perfect minion look!  We used overalls (Brody already had a pair, and Emersyn's dress was a hand-me-down, so we purchased ones for Jax and Jayce), plain white shirts from WalMart & white beanie/baby hats from Hobby Lobby that we dyed yellow, safety goggles from Home Depot that Kris spray-painted silver, black pipe cleaners that we stuck through the tops of the hats for the hair, black boots, cheap black gloves, and finally, we printed the "G" off from an online picture, laminated them, and pinned them to the overalls.  Emersyn also had a pair of white tights that barely fit her anymore that we dyed yellow, and her black boots were glittery! :)

These last three pics are all of Jaxson.  What a goof!

We think they look pretty stinkin' cute!  What a great memory this will be!
