Some last minute costume ideas people might want to use in the future for Halloween are going dressed up as a sports player if someone owns a sports player's jersey or as a referee/umpire if someone owns those types of shirts.

We used a $5 bag of glow sticks and a roll of clear tape to create a glow in the dark stick man on my son (wearing all black clothing). It was fast, cheap and a HUGEZ HIT!
