Yep. I'm that person. Already planning ahead for our babes first Halloween and I'm thinking I'd like to do a family costume idea...any of you guys already have yours in place or idea of what your going to do?
You're not alone. I've been checking out Halloween costumes since July! I'm thinking I'm going to dress LO up as Belle and buy a lions mane for my pitbull, so they're beauty and the beast. I know I'm crazy lol
I've had a goldfish costume ready to go since before he was born I also just picked up an astronaut and a boxer costume from someone off of nextdoor today! I want him to have options! Chances are, I'll think of something I like even better before now and then and buy that too! I love dressing up!!
Oh yes. We have a plan. We are pretty much a spitting image of the Flintstones. DH has darker hair and DD and I have red hair. DD has a lot of hair and a few people have called her Pebbles. At first I hated the Flintstones costume idea but then DH suggested we 80s- it- up. Now I love it! So we're going to be an updated 80s Flintstones. (I still don't like when people call DD Pebbles tho.)
@jrouge12 my parents did he flint stone theme with me when I was younger. Seeing how I also have red hair I stared as pebbles of course. And it's one of my favorite pictures of us!
My my son also has red hair but it's growing in pretty slowly...so my original plans for a Child's Play theme will have to wait till next year. He will however still be sporting the overalls and striped shirt I already bought him!
My son has the best rolls so I really wanted to paint him green and make him a baby shrek which I won't actually do because I don't want to paint my baby haha my husband wants to make him baby Bret Michaels hahaha
@jrouge12 this was our idea too! But mainly cause we call LO "bam bam" even though she's a girl, she loves banging things so it's kind of her nickname. We we're going to go the Barney/Betty route
Haha, OK, now I feel like I will be setting expectations too high by keeping it a secret...
My SO is going to be Peter Pan, I'll be Wendy and LO will be Tinkerbell. If my stepson wants to join in, he can be Captain Hook (but he's inexplicably lame and lazy when it comes to Halloween costumes).
I can't wait to do Peter Pan theme--we have 3 boys, so they can be a variety of the lost boys, but I'm waiting to have a walker for that one, and she'll be Wendy! (I will prob be Smee. lol.) I have been debating--I saw a really cute flamingo costume at Sam's, but I also like the idea of Rainbow Brite. (I think the crochet wigs are really cute, but I don't want to do Cabbage Patch Kids.) I've also been thinking about this, too...
Totoro famliy costume. My husband will be the grey Totoro, I will be blue totoro and Bug will be the little white Totoro. I have had this planned since before she was conceived.
I'm so glad I'm not the only trekkie. I was watching next gen last night. I sometimes forget how great that show was. DH and I are going to see the new movie on Tuesday
Well, looks like the nasa astronaut costume I bought him is not going to fit in 2.5 months for Haloween but it is so cute on him now!! I had to take some pics! Guess it's back to the drawing board for a new idea!
I asked my (almost) 3 yo what he wants to be for Halloween and he said a ghost. He decided that he wants mommy to be a "princess ghost" daddy to be a "king ghost" and baby brother to be a "baby ghost". I've asked a few times now and I keep getting the same answer. Is it bad that I'm hoping he will change his mind in the next 2 months? Lol
