Success! The acrobat costume was completed with plenty of time to spare. (I’m a little shocked that I did not sew it to the big fuzzy bathrobe I was wearing.) I also attached a couple of cute little bat ears to his cap, which are hard to see in this picture.
We even had enough time to get the house decked out and round up some costumes for ourselves…
