Success after IF

Halloween Costumes

Anyone started thinking about or know what their LO(s) are going to be for Halloween? I'm having the hardest time coming up with something cute for my duo and I don't want to wait till the last minute and be stuck with the Target leftovers:) I found an adorable Max & wild things costume on pottery barn kids, but they were $80 each. Pretty sure DH would kill me if Ispent $160 on Halloween costumes. But they were adorable :)

  • DD will be Minnie Mouse, and DS we are still looking.  DD's costume was $25, and I refuse to pay more for DS's.  He was Thomas the train last year - hoping he will decide he wants to do that again!

    Check out Old Navy - they have some cute animal costumes that aren't ridiculously expensive.  Also, we got the Thomas costume on Amazon last year.  DD's is from BRU, was on sale.

    Old Navy, that's a good idea. I can't believe how pricey some of these costumes are! I found a Winnie the Pooh & Piglet that are cute but DH is insisting piglet is a boy & DD can't go as a boy character. I'm seriously rolling my eyes at him right now!

    We  didn't dress them up last year. My mom made them some cute pumpkin hats & they had Halloween outfits. My multiples group does a big Halloween carnival that we are going to so I'm feeling the pressure to get them something cute and original! I'm sure there will be a gazillion Thing 1 & Thing 2's there that seems to be the costume of choice for twins;)

  • Mine is going to be too small to put on a costume, but have you looked at a consignment store? I know it might be harder with two, but we found really cute costumes at our local Kid to Kid that were 10-15 dollars each. I am just going to put DD in a Halloween tutu!

  • DS1 is going to be a dragon because, well, he is all about dragons right now.  I made his costumes the last two years, but last year I promised myself I would buy them this year. hahaha. I bought it early so he could wear it for his dragon b-day party earlier this month.

    DS2 is going to be a cow.  It is a hand-me down costume we got from a friend.  DS1 wore it too. 

    Maybe some bug theme? Lady bug/butterfly wings for her, bee/dragon fly wings for him. Little antennae head bands.  All stuff you can easily put on over a coat for trick or treating. (Or is that only a consideration for costumes in Portland? Smile )

  • Last year I made C's costume (he was a crab).  This year I think he'll be a tiger and I'm not sure if I will buy it or try to make it again.

  • I haven't come up with a costume for DS yet.  I want something creative.

    I saw a bumpie who had b/g twins and they were the big bad wolf and little red riding hood.  It was adorable!

    I love the little red riding hood and big bad wolf idea! I've looked a bit online for pre-made costumes and they are all cheesy. And I am not crafty AT ALL! I may have to call grandma and see if she wants to get out her sewing machine;)

  • I had other plans at first but am not crafty enough to make it and couldn't find any pre-made ones, but fell in love with this dress at BRU so Evie will be Belle from Beauty & the Beast.  :)

  • DS is going to be a monkey.  I second the consignment store recommendation.  I did and am reallly happy.  .the costume is adorable and cost $8.  I figured since he'll only go to a handful of houses and the neighborhood party, it will do the trick.

  • Sarafuss, thank you for the Little Red Riding Hood idea! I just found the most adorable red cape on etsy, I love that website! Off to find a wolf costume for DS, but I think this is what I'm going with! 

     Everyone's costume ideas for their LO's sound adorable! We should do a PIP thread after Halloween! I would love to see everyone's LOs all dressed up!

  • V was a tiger last year. I got his costume at JCP for like $25. It was super cute and comfy (fleece). I think we may do a monkey this year (his room is like a giant monkey explosion). Or maybe...Elmo. He goes crazy over Elmo!

    That was nikinikinine. She posted pics on her blog as she was making them. I think her blog is called It's Always Something. The costumes were too cute!
