When Tate decided he wanted to be a Kansas City Royals baseball player for Halloween, specifically his favorite player, Alcides Escobar, I started looking at jerseys. I was not willing to pay $60-$70 for one shirt for a 5 year old. Then he recruited Mayer to be Mike Moustakas, so I would be looking at the cost 2 jerseys!
So I came up with my own for about $1 each with shirts from the Salvation Army. From men's dress shirts...
to baseball jerseys!
On Saturday, we participated in a 5k and we were encouraged to wear costumes. So Tate recruited Michael and I to dress up too. Our family got a prize for our group costumes.

Tate after the race:
I found some athletic fabric for $3.25/ yard to make the boys' pants. The blue stripe is nylon cord I got for 50% off ($0.99). I got the fleece for their hats for less than $5. The most expensive part was the lettering on the back of the jerseys, but still I made 4 costumes for less than the cost of one jersey! :)
