Man alive, this was a lot of work! More ... like in my brain, to figure out how to cut things so that they look right in 3D (helmet much?), but I learned a lot! When working with foam, the Dremmel is your friend! Except that it's sort of a hyperactive and hard to control friend. ;)

And also, different brands of spray paint have VERY different smell factors! Tremclad = gross but normal smell. Rustoleum = OH GOD SAVE US ALL!!!! horrible smell. The more you know ....

The 'arc reactor' thing is a little LED light from Canadian Tire and the body of the costume is the conglomeration of a yoga mat and those thicker puzzle type mats.

A hot glue gun. This one was a high temp one. Ouch! I burned myself more than once.

Best mom ever! I'm always wowed by your creativity. Happy Halloween to you all!

Edited to add exclamation point. Obviously I'm already drunk on way too much candy.

INORITE? 10 years! That's when it happened. Plus, my husband is tall, so they thankfully take after him.
