Um...ok...my awesome wife did some pretty amazing things. Let's roll back the clock a few days. So...Lynette and I have this conversation about how cute it would be for Jake to be Friar Tuck...and then I get home from work one day and Lynette says, "I made Jake a costume." She found some brown fabric that someone gave her a couple years back and VWALLA. Mini-Friar-Tuck.
THIS THING ROCKS!
For real...I wondered why Friar Tuck wasn't a baby earlier. Anyway...side perks...his costume doubles for a Jedi padawan AND a Jawa. How sweet is that? Then (yeah, that's not all) she invented a pattern and designed an awesome Maid Marion costume dress using more fabric that was given to her. Cha-ching! FREE! Seriously, it's beautiful. To top it all off she found a cool pattern for Robin Hood and turned a cop into a thief. (The neat part is I got to hang out with hottie Maid Marion. This was a GREAT Halloween.) ...SWEET!
So, see for yourselves. You can place orders now...or later... The dress is $595.00. Robin, depending on if you want the REAL pleather like my costume has, is $280.00. The Friar/Padawan/Jawa is a one of a kind. Replicas available in the gift shop.
