Elwood Bigfoot: Wanted: Birdie Friends
Elwood Bigfoot is big, clumsy, LOUD . . . and lonely. It's hard for him to make friends—especially with the tiny, delicate birdies he loves so much. Each flash of their feathers, each chirp and cheerful song, helps him feel less alone. But whenever a birdie swoops by, and Elwood hollers at it to STAY, the scared creature flies away. He tries everything: sitting on a branch, having a housewarming party, even building an amusement park with snacks and pools. But nothing helps—until Elwood finally learns how to make his bird dreams come true.

We all love Toy Story. It's one of the most beloved Disney movies to ever hit the big screen. While most people would choose to be Buzz and Woody for Halloween, I thought the Buzz and Jessie would be a perfect couples costume combination. Another fun one is Little Bo Peep and Woody. hehe. So, I go the idea for us to dress and Jessie and Buzz after visiting TvStoreOnline.com. They have a ton of awesome costumes and apparel from movies and tv shows. When I seen the cute Toy Story Tunic Tank Dresses, I thought, “Hmm. I wonder what kind of Buzz Lightyear costumes they have.” Then I discovered the Buzz Adult Costume Sweater. I thought that this would be perfect because it can be worn for Halloween and on a regular day. This is perfect for a guy that wants something practical.
