For the past few years, we've admired mom of three Lauren Mancke for creating enough DIY Halloween costumes for her kids to wear each day of October [1], and last year, she's shared one a little early in honor of Schitt's Creek absolutely crushing the 2020 Emmy Awards [2]. And it's *simply the best* pop culture costume [3] she's created so far (except for maybe this year's first costume, Ted Lasso characters [4]).
"We've decided to do our month of costumes again this year, like in years past, to bring joy to people, which I know our family needs this year more than ever. After losing my grandmother earlier in May to this virus, we want others to know Halloween [5] isn't canceled and we can still find fun in new creative ways," Lauren told POPSUGAR in September 2020. "We chose to kick things off with a Schitt's Creek [6] costume because it is one of our favorite shows, and also to congratulate them on an unbelievable and well-deserved sweep of the Emmys [7]. Such talent!"
Just like years prior, Lauren used a lot of Primary clothing to create the costumes [9] for her three kids, Fox and his twin sisters, Marigold and Lera. With those pieces as a base, Lauren then used her DIY [10] skills to bring the Rose family's wardrobe to life — she used vinyl to add the lightning bolts to David's sweater, a garbage bag to create Moira's dress, and some felt to really emphasize Eugene Levy/Johnny's iconic eyebrows. Fox is dressed up as David [11] and Johnny in the photo, thanks to a little editing magic; Marigold is dressed as Moira; and Lera is a floppy-hat-clad Alexis.
As usual, Lauren will be posting her family's DIY [12] costumes every day in October on her Instagram account [13], and we can't wait to see them all!
