Halloween

Kelan's Halloween Waste Management trash truck costume made by his very creative Uncle George - there are lights on the front and the top part beeps with a trash truck sound when you lift it up

 

Tristan's Amtrak Halloween costume created by his Uncle George.

 

 No, it's not a typo - since Tristan's nickname is "TT", Uncle George named the costume after him "Am'tt'rak"

The train number 1029 is for Tristan's birthday (10/29)

 

railroad crossing costume

*Not the best picture, but all of the lights on the costume worked and when Kelan raised his left arm, an authentic "ding-ding" railroad crossing noise sounded.

*I used white foam board to make the railroad crossing and black letters from Office Depot.

*I used velcro to attached the railroad crossing sign and large bicycle reflector to a black baseball cap

*The black circles were made from craft foam, and I hot-glued red blinking bicycle lights to the foam. I attached them to the gray t-shirt using velcro

*The red and white railroad crossing bar was made from white foam board, red duct tape, and 6 rectangular red blinking bicycle lights. 

*I attached the crossing bar using alot of velcro.

*When he wore the costume, I turned the lights on the black foam on at different times so that they were not blinking at the same time (more like a real railroad crossing). I did the same thing with the lights on the crossing bar.
