E.T. is celebrating it’s 30th anniversary this week. Tell me that’s not scary. I can’t believe it’s been that long! Anyway, we saw this costume in a Halloween parade last year. Definitely a perfect parade costume, being on a bike and all. I thought I still had my old E.T. doll from childhood and we would recreate the costume, but on a tricycle. Well, turns out old E.T. isn’t around after all. Still determined, I had to make him out of a stuffed dog toy, some pantyhose, doll eyes and my lack of artistic skills with a Sharpie. Under the towel I added a little flashlight using the red light feature.

I hope that my E.T. creation isn’t too kindred to the Spanish lady’s Ecco Homo “restoration.”
