Cory had his doubts, especially when we were in Menards and I was looking for the supplies we needed, but I figured it would work out perfect! This was my plan: I figured we could buy a small trash can with a flip lid, drill holes on both bottom sides, slide a metal rod through and attach plastic grill wheels to the rod. So I came up with my own plan, that I asked Cory to help execute. A bunch of kiddos out there had wheeled trash cans with their costumes so maybe there was a tutorial or something on how to do it. There has got to be an easy way to make one, I thought. Who would've thought that kid sized trash cans on wheels don't exist (except in China, for a ludacris amount of money). The safety vest was easily found and cheap, I found one on eBay for $5 shipped. No problem, I thought, I'd just buy a safety vest and a little garbage can on wheels. It looked pretty easy. Most of the pictures of toddler garbage men were wearing jeans and a t-shirt, donning safety vests and toting pint sized garbage cans on wheels.
