Our Little Mater

This year I asked Henry what he wanted to be for Halloween and he said Mater from the movie Cars.  I thought great how am I going to make that!?! And I just knew if I spent a lot of time on it he would then refuse to wear it.  Ask asking him several times if he really wanted to be Mater I gave in and took the risk and made the costume.  It actually turned out really cute! Daniel's mom helped me and it ended up not being very hard. I use a box to make the truck part and added paper plate to make the wheels and engine block.  Then used a yard stick to make the hook and attached a rope with a hook we found in the hardware section.  I put the eyes on his shirt and found a really red neck hat for him to wear.  

He was so cute! He kept saying "I'm driving Mater Mommy!"  And even though it was rainy and yucky he had a great time and kept asking to go to more houses and get candy.  After we were done we went back to Daniel's mom's house to pass out candy. Every time someone would come to the door Henry would give them candy and then take one for himself and put it in his bucket!

All in all I am really glad got the chance to make my first costume for my sweet boy and that he loved it so much!





 Oh and everyone at the restaurant where Daniel is a manager had to dress up that weekend too.  So he went as Billy Mays the Oxi Clean guy. :)
