Little Band Of Pirates

Guest post written by Craig Watson

No matter how much I convince my boys, they just want to dress up in the same kind of costumes as they have for the past two years, pirates. Now, a lot of times that would be a parent's dream, except that both of my boys have grown a lot so I'm going to have to buy them some more costumes.

I started looking up costumes to buy online with clear-internet.com and then realized that all the costumes were basically the same.

That got me thinking that I could probably just make them wear some of their clothes that they've messed up and still fit them and change them a little bit to make it look like a pirate costume. I'm going to take pieces of their old costumes like fake swords and eye patches and get them to reuse them this year. Besides, I convinced both of them that if we make the costumes they’ll look more authentic like they’re real pirates anyway, which they said would be even cooler.
