Up to my ears in EARS?

Today I've been working on making BAT ears, for a Halloween costume of course. I can't believe this costume is even a possibility (the reality of it is yet to be determined). You wouldn't think a pair of ears could take so long... The added factor is an opinionated five-year-old who says things like,
"Too bunny-ish."
"Those look like bones."
"It's not ears for a bear, Mom."
"How am I (the bat) supposed to hear anything with those?"

Oh and did I mention the only other thing I have done for this costume is disassemble an umbrella and cut it in half. The logistics of attaching the wings are still pending.

Anyone need any spare ears?

Good luck with thos ears. Addison wanted to be a cat this year, and I got really lucky and found ears, and a tail already done.
Looks like I have been missing a lot of fun projects. I have to come back and wander around a bit.

Ha ha! 5-year-olds can be the biggest critics! I'm sure your costumes will turn out awesome. It reminded me of a costume my friend made last year: http://loco-in-the-coconut.blogspot.com/2008/10/some-batty-business.html - just in case that helps at all...
Good luck with your little bats!

We did this bat hat from Family Fun. It was actually pretty easy. I used black foam for the wings. But I guess if you already have wings that would be weird.
OH, well, good luck!!
