The R2D2 Helmet Solution!

So we figured out how to keep that wide trashcan lid on Timmy's head for his R2D2 costume. Thanks to Dave's Mom (Grammy Vollmer) for the idea:

"As far as Timmy's helmet--can you take one of his hats, cut off the peak and glue it to the inside of the helmet? Don't know if this would work or even if it would stay on."

I searched the house for an old baseball cap that we didn't mind sacrificing to the hot glue gun, and found a chintzy Las Vegas hat Dave and I won through some geeky hotel promotion.

Instead of cutting off the brim, I simply turned it around and glued it in place. Timmy was thrilled with how comfy his R2 helmet fits him now.

As for pictures, you'll just have to wait till Halloween ;-)
