Didn’t even bother to shoop-out the driveway for some craters. Finally, incontrovertible evidence the moon landing was faked!

I’d be impressed even if it WASN’T a costume! But the fact that a tiny human can fit in there puts it over the top!

Yeah, no kidding. Our sidewalks are ca. 150 year old bluestone. Narrow and nothing but trip hazards.

The front hatch magnetically closes and magnetically stays open, and doubles as a candy sample input port

It’s scientific cuteness!

I can’t tell for sure, but possibly lots of room for a big candy haul in there, too?

OMG, those are some seriously serious costumes. (And seriously cute.) I do wonder how long a 5 year old will tolerate that unwieldy lander outfit, though. It might get discarded somewhat quickly the evening of…

I was just thinking about that. I guess their neighbors don’t have front gates in their yards, either, or any other chokepoints that the costume wouldn’t be able to fit through.

You too? Calamari in a wine/garlic/saffron sauce always does it for me.

One could go as a Saturn-Apollo Moon Rocket; nice and narrow!

But how is that lander a costume? That’s like calling a car a costume… which is kind of true… whoa… dude…

Oh yeah? Well I used to cut holes in sheets to make eyes so my kids could be ghosts. So there! Hah! I’m creative too! I am… I am…

(sobbing into my martini)

Seriously, this is amazing, and there’s some really wonderful and clever parents and kids out there. Great stuff.
