We love Halloween and will be celebrating this year with the Mouse himself on a Disney Cruise out of Galveston, Texas!!!

Here is an easy Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Homemade Mickey Mouse Halloween Costume that I put together for Stinkpot a few years ago. Our foster daughter, Blondie, was to be his Minnie, but she moved a few days before and so…

Here are the items you will need:

Black Turtleneck

Red Shorts

Black Stocking Tights

Yellow Crocs

White Gloves

Mouse Ears, of course!

Other Miscellaneous Supplies: Yellow Felt & Glue Dots to add yellow felt “buttons” to Mickey’s red shorts.

Mouse Makeup: I found that Black Cream Eyeliner with a brush is much easier than using a pencil eyeliner! Color in the nose! Smile and outline the cheeks, then add a line from the sides of mouth to cheek lines. Viola! A mouse!

Easy-peasy, Mouseketeers!

DIY Homemade Minnie Mouse Halloween Costume

I became my Stinkpot’s Minnie Mouse date on Halloween…

Here I am with Blondie before she left…

For Minnie Mouse costume you will need the items listed above: Black Stocking Tights, Yellow Crocs, White Gloves, AND..

Red Polka Dot Dress

Minnie Mouse Ears

Easy-peasy, Mouseketeers!

Do you have plans for Halloween? Do your kids already know how they will dress? Or do they change their minds a million times before?

Homemade Dinosaur Halloween Costumes

Adoption

I love Halloween! I love dressing up with the kids and going trick-or-treating, even though begging our neighbors for candy isn’t the best lesson for our kids!  On this spooky evening of goblins and ghouls, our normally, quiet, sleepy subdivision morphs into a HUGE Mardi Gras-like carnival.  Pumpkins, skeletons, cobwebs, and even bounce houses line [...]
