Homemade Halloween

slices of candy cane turnips

My auntie's small WI town held a Halloween parade, while I was down visiting. I was impressed by the many homemade costumes. Around here, I mostly only see store-bought costumes.

L to R: 
NASA astronaut; Dalek (the little girl got tired wearing it, her dad said, but she put it on again for the end of the parade--it looked pretty unwieldy--you can see she is carrying the whisk and toilet plunger for her arms); and Iron Man with Capt. America dad--constructed of cut-out cardboard!
