Since LO's birthday is only two week later than mine, I am going to recreate a picture that my mom took of me on my first Halloween since we will be about the same age. Therefore, she will be Minnie Mouse. I tried to find the actual costume that I wore, but no such luck. I plan on giving the photo of myself and LO and the original picture of it to my mom as a gift. (framed, of course).
He is going to be the hulk, well his costume came today and it barely fits. To small, my back up plan is to go find the prettiest dress and have him be a girl since I will never have a DD.
We are trying to think of an idea for coordinating family costumes (me, DH, and DS), but we haven't been able to agree on anything. Anyone have any good ideas?
We're big nerds in this family so we will all be going as characters from Star Trek: The Original Series :P
DH will be Captain Kirk
I will be Nurse Chapel
DS will be Scotty
Our friends are big nerds too so this should be fun
i got a yoda costume cheap at a consignment so that DH or I can wear her and we be Luke Skywalker....DS thought it was awesome and wants to be Vader. Alternatively, we are going to a Dr Who themed wedding the weekend before...DD will be a tardis and DS is the 10th Dr. I'm going as a Weepng Angel...i'm getting into this far too much since I don't even watch Dr Who.

Nothing. As much as I'd like to get her an adorable outfit, we have nowhere to go on Halloween (and I'm not going to be one of THOSE parents who takes their baby trick or treating when it's obvious the candy is not for her).

How about super heroes? Superman, Wonder Woman, something cute for DS? Or Scooby, Scrappy and whatever the red headed girl is from that show?
We r going as mario brothers. Hubby is mario, I am Luigi and LO is princess peach. Using the Disney aurora onsie and adding a couple of things to it. It should be fun.
@frenchchocolate611...U should try Mario & Luigi. That's what we all were one year. DH was big Mario & DS was little Mario. I was Luigi. I hand made the hats & DS candy bucket I made into a green mushroom. All I had to buy were overals (used & u can dye then blue if u like) & red & green long sleeves. Plus a package of stuck on mustaches. I loved it!!!
I got a pumpkin costume, batman onesie or we will put a baby tux on him and he will be James Bond...or have costume change and be all 3 lol we are likely just staying home anyway lol
LO is going as a turtle...and by "going as," I mean DH apparently bought a turtle outfit a month ago, on a whim, not even thinking about Halloween. : )
I work from home on Fridays and there are a couple of local party type things happening that I can "sneak out of work" and take her to during the day. I am sure my husband will work late, per usual, but then again night time is not great these days for LO anyway. (and trick or treating ain't happening for a 4 month old).
Night time is usually just me nursing her and trying to keep things low key so she chills out and knows bedtime is coming. (This doesn't always work.)
I didn't want to buy a costume but on a local Mom board someone is selling a mouse costume for cheap in her size. I could have snagged the ladybug someone was selling too, but I figure now I can wear black and be a cat or uh...anyone else know anything cute and easy to go with a mouse? I am not crafty. Also, MIL bought her this.
Re: What is your LO going to be for Halloween?
Elsa and Anna.
