Kids of every age enjoy dressing up from Halloween, and this includes those kids. Whether they want to be princess, monsters, or cute animals, it's fun to play pretend and use your imagination. It seems like people are getting more and more creative with their costumes each year, and this especially includes kids.

One of these kids that were excited to be participating in Halloween is Blake Mompher. 5-year-old Blake is in a wheelchair, but his grandfather made sure that this didn't stop him from getting in on all of the fun! Even though he knew that he might now have as many choices in costumes as some of the other kids in Prospect, Ohio, he didn't let that get him down.

He and his grandfather thought out of the box for this year's costumes and came up with a great idea for a costume. To think out of the box, they got boxes in as part of the plan! In 2016, their first costume that integrated his wheelchair into the costume perfectly used boxes to create an adorable bulldozer costume complete with a scoop! Blake's mom was excited about the work that his grandfather did and everyone in the neighborhood loved the costume!

The costumes keep getting better and this year videos and pictures of Blake are going viral across the internet. This year, the 5-year-old is ready for school as a bright yellow school bus and everyone agrees that it's one of the most fun costumes around! You can tell from the images and videos that little Blake is just as much fun as his costume as he is seen doing tricks in his chair that really bring the school bus to life!

His mom Megan Momphor told ABC News that Blake has been a fan of school buses for years and is excited about being able to go to kindergarten in one soon! Everyone agreed that a school bus was the perfect costume for Blake and it's easy to see how much he enjoyed it.

His grandfather puts a lot of love and effort into each costume that he has made for his grandson. He believes that every minute that he spent on them was more than worth it as he looks back at the photos from Halloweens past. There's so much detail on the school bus that you can see the love that was put into the project. He's definitely a happy kid and with a family like his, it's easy to see why despite being diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, hydrocephalus, and spina bifida when he was born in 2013.

Do you know anyone that has made great things happen out of difficult situations? Maybe you know someone who would love to hear about these costume ideas. What's the neatest Halloween costume you've ever put together? Let us know in the comments!
