Indiana Jones and Penny Pingleton went Trick or Treating around Keith Drive! Being the thrifty mom, we waited until everything was on sale before purchasing anything. We found an Indiana Jones hat and whip set - missing the whip! Well, I couldn't get the sales clerk to give me more than 20% off (my reasoning was that 50% of the product was missing!) so we left the store with nothing but a $2.50 bag of raffia - which I braided into a pretty cool whip. We're pretty sure it was sturdier than the whip in the kit. A friend loaned us her son's "real" hat, and another friend loaned us a coat - so we were set! Gina decided to be Penny - her favorite character from our favorite movie, "Hairspray". A trip to the thrift store got a skirt and shirt for $2.50! So for $5 we had two homemade costumes. Art of course was the happiest of all...
