Jess & I bought some crash test dummy masks & set to work on making the costume. We bought painter’s coveralls and tried to dye them tan.

The dye didn’t stay on anything except for my hands and the zippers of the suits.

A couple days before the parade Jess & my mom took the coveralls in so they would fit us better. When we bought them they were only available in size XXL.

My dad & I worked on making the crash test dummies’ decals out of yellow and black tape.

Finally the costumes are done!

On the walk home to get ready for the parade I saw all these police officers getting instructions on what do to for the Halloween Parade.

Mom, Dad, Jeannette, Jessica & Yvan came over to my place to get ready for the Halloween Parade.

Jeannette went as a tomato.

Yvan went as Princess Leia.
