However, 2 nights before the fair Ethan suggested he should wear Oompa Loompa clothes - the midget factory workers in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Somehow, the suggestion awoken creative mommy once again and she immediately went to work.
Lani used the following parts:
- my white pants
- ethan's maroon long sleeve shirts and added double sided tape to create the stripes on the collar and cuffs of the shirt
- white socks and a marker to draw the black and white stripes
- my black jumper belts and covered it with white cloth; added big buttons for effect
- the bought gloves, green wig, white adhesive beards (used as brows), and orange face paint from a dollar store
This is how it turned out:
As you can see, Ethan won again.
This is what he had to say after:
Ethan: That's 3 years in a row Mommy. Can we go easy next year?
