This Year's Halloween Costume

The Man-Cub chose an unusual character for Halloween this year - actually, it's not a particular 'character' but just one of the guys from the movie 'Holes'.

His advanced reading class at school read the book and then watched the movie (it's available in it's entirety on You-Tube if you haven't seen it). Unlike previous years I won't be dressing as the evil warden Walker (Sigourney Weaver - btw - the Man-Cub thought she looked like his auntie Karen - but he sweetly said that she didn't act anything like Karen). And he has requested going door to door in our neighborhood - in the past I have just driven him to the homes of several people we knew - Ah well - he is growing up...

There is also an orange cap with sun protection flaps - work boots and a wooden shovel to complete the outfit - will anyone know who he is - surely his classmates - but I don't know who else - maybe everyone who has seen the movie...

I was unable to find any orange coveralls in youth sizes - so I just bought a regular man sized one and cut them down and hemmed them up - they were baggy on the characters in the movie as well. Then we'll need to bleach them several times and get them really dirty before Halloween...
