So what is everyone's LO being for halloween? My sister gave me a cute fairy costume for Sophia . I wanted the kids to be peter pan and tinkerbell(thanks telyco for the idea) but I don't want to waste money on a costume and Ethan not wear it again like last year. Last year he just wore a skeleton sweatsuit. Maybe I should just buy it again
Re: Halloween Costumes
Justin is going as Donkey Kong from Mario Kart (his choice since August, haha) I got him a monkey costume and I'm going to put the red "DK" tie on it.
Everyone calls Brandon B, so he'll be a "bee" and Nat will be a flower. I told myself I'd make the baby costumes to save money but I'll probably lose steam and end up buying them.
i have no idea. i assume that this will be the last year i get to pick something out, but i don't want a costume i have to fight him to wear (i.e. no hat/hood etc) but i have to believe that that since he fights me on everything else these days a halloween costume won't be any different no matter what it is.
I ordered the fabric this week, and it looks really easy to make. Let's hope it is!
Belle is going to be Rapunzel from Tangled. The dress came in a couple weeks ago and it is really long, she kept tripping on it when we tried it on. I have to figure out how to hem it, the skirt is all sheer. I keep trying to talk DH into being Flynn Rider but he's not going along with it. Last yeah Belle was Minnie Mouse and the year before a lady bug.
DD will be a dog. My mom got a bunch of great costumes from a co-worker last year (Elmo, a Dog, a Lion, and a Horse). The dog is 24 months, so it should fit well. Hopefully she will put on the head hood. There are some other things I would have chosen first, but since we have perfectly good costumes, I am sticking with it. She is excited about it anyway - she howls whenever we bring it up.
Last year I got her a cute cowgirl outfit, and made a saddle for Abby to be her horse. But then it was freezing, so last minute we stuck her in the elmo costume. This year she would have loved the elmo costume, but last year she didn't even know who he was. (but didn't care either).
Her first year was my first day back from maternity leave and she just wore a halloween sleeper. This year I have to work until 9pm, so that sucks and I will miss it.

Evan is going to be a pumpkin (what he asked for and has been obsessed with). He would sleep with his pumpkin from the pumpkin patch if we let him. I got a great costume at TJ Maxx for $15.
Andrew...I was going to try to find him a small pumpkin costume as Evan wanted to be a "pumpkin patch", but have not found one yet. I will keep looking

Right now it's a close tie between a tennis player and Thomas. He got really interested in watching Wimbledon and the US Open with me this summer. For weeks after, he kept asking me to get him a tennis racket so we could play. I told him that it was getting too cold to play, he said, "I'll be a tennis player for Halloween, so you could get me a racket." Sometimes, he's too smart for his own good.
Then he saw me looking through a catalog of costumes and saw Thomas, his latest obsession, and thought that he could be Thomas. We'll probably go shopping in the next week or two and see what he picks out.
