I know Halloween isn't until next month but I'm super excited for LOs first. I have no idea what I'm going to dress her up as. DH mentioned wanting to dress up as anchorman and LO as Baxter. Lol Has anyone started looking into costumes? Are there any amazing moms out there that are going to make their LOs costume?
yup we are going to be either the pumpkin family where i will be wearing a orange shirt with black jeans and a green headband, husband will be wearing a orange shirt with jeans and a green hat and our daughter will be wearing a orange onesie with a white tutu and a green headband. OR we will be Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse. I will be wearing a black long sleeve with black leggings and a red tutu and ears, my husband will be wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt and she will be wearing a Minnie Mouse onesie with tutu we aren't taking her out so we might just do the pumpkin one which is cheaper, simple and easy
I love family themed costumes! I wish I would've dressed my older son in a light costume for his first. He was in a full costume and got hot and fussy fast. I learned my lesson, LO will be in something light and simple.
We have done a family theme every year. This will be peter pan. I'm going as wendy, DH as peter pan, DS1 captain hook and DS 2 as tick tock crocodile. I'm very into Halloween.
Cute ideas! I love Halloween but DH does not so no family costumes here. I'm not sure if I'll be dressing LO up since she will stay home while I take older two trick or treating. DD1 will be Daniel Tiger or Sofia the First but DS wants to be Stitch from Lilo and Stitch - I'm really not sure if I can make a good costume for that one!
DH wants to do Star Wars theme! LO would be anakin, I was looking at costumes but may just craft a brown robe and tie! I can't wait to take him to a pumpkin patch for pictures!
No family costume this year for us hopefully next year though. DS2 gets warm really easily, so this year I'm just doing this little hat for him. DS1 is going to be a TRex.
Everyone's ideas are so cute!! I can't wait to see all the pics! I doubt we will do a full family theme this year. I'm sure my 9 yr old will want to pick his own costume. I told DH we should do Peter, Louis, Stewie and Brian with LO and our bulldog. lol Hopefully we'll agree on something soon.
I just got an outfit that says baby's first Halloween with cute pants with a spider on the but. I'll just take some pics in it and that's prob it. We never go anywhere on Halloween. It's kind of a bummer. We live Ina farmstead a ways out of town so we never even get trick or treaters.
I'd love to do a family theme but DH refuses to wear costumes. Hoping that'll change as LO gets older. She will wear a hand me down lion costume my mom had made for my nephew years ago.
LO is the cowardly lion, 16 year old is Dorothy, 14 year old is a lollipop guild munchkin, husband is mayor of munchkin land (wanted to be sexy Glinda) I'm the scarecrow (for ease of nursing). I wanted to be the wicked witch but was afraid it would scare our LO. 14 year old is going to change mid evening into the Tin Man.
My sister had this made for him since my hubby loves ninja turtles. The hat was big on him when I took these pictures, so I think it will still fit. I'll just put a onesie on him and call it a day! We will only be answering our door for other trick or treaters this year- so it should work!
Halloween isn't really my holiday (I'm a Christmas freak though....12 Christmas outfits for the 12 days of Christmas anyone? )....but my hubby is really into Halloween and cool decorations and dressing up and all.....so, like the true dorks we are, we are doing family themed costumes. We will be doing Halloween Game of Thrones style....I'll be Daneyres, LO will be a baby dragon, and hubby will be some character-not sure which one yet. Should be pretty epic. :-) :-P
We always do family themes also, but this year my husband is deployed so I decided I could go all cutesy and just dress my LO up as a pretty pineapple - I make our costumes for the most part. My boys will be a firefighter and emt.
Just started sewing our costumes yesterday. 4 yr old wants to be and Ewok so our new baby will be R2D2. My little boys first Halloween we did starwars too. Pictured below. I love a great family costume.

I am thinking my LO is going to be a piglet. I'm just going to look for a pink onesie and some pink pants for him and then have my mom make a hat with the ears and face
I'm so sad I have to work 10am-10pm on Halloween. I'll miss his first Halloween. I'll probably just buy him a cute onesie to wear while he and dad pass out candy. At least I'm off Christmas this year. That's way more important to me.
Sorry ...I should add... I'm really not a fan of Halloween (dressing up myself, attending parties, handing out candy etc) and am glad that due to maternity leave I will be missing festivities at school this year (I am a kindergarten teacher) just looking forward to cute photos of my LO!
I started making my little guys this week, he is going to be the grinch , I just took a $3 long sleeve baby shirt from Walmart , cut it down the middle, sewed some felt & I found the green fur for 99 cents and then used RIT dye & dyed white socks and a white onesie green, i stil have to add fur the the socks and I have a little black belt to go around the Santa jacket ! Super easy!
For now we are thinking of dressing LO as Thumper, our pit bull as Bambi, me as Minnie and hubs as Sorcerer Mickey. We already have 90% of these costumes so it would be easy and cheap.
However, I am loving those Star Wars ideas! Maybe I'll convince hubs to dress our daughter as an ewok
