Over it and moving on.
Two years ago, I was pregnant with Charlotte, super lazy and had no Halloween costume for Sawyer. Bad mommy. One year ago I knew he had to be something so I grabbed a lion costume at Target while walking by. No long thought process, no pressure. THIS year I want something cute, vintagey, original, handmade. And I can't find a thing. Any suggestions? This is probably the last year I can override him.
I've been on an Etsy hunt since a few weeks ago. There are some cute infant costumes. Adorable girl costumes and almost zero boy costumes. Does dressing boys cute EVER get easy?!?! Since I've been scouring Etsy, I figured I would post some of my favorite costumes making YOUR job as mommy or daddy WAY easier. (You can thank me in paypal donations...)
Sack of Taters!!! I don't think an infant costume gets much cuter. Can someone PLEASE buy this?!?!

Does Alice in Wonderland EVER get old? How about this adorable Drink Me costume???

I know pirate costumes have been all the rage in the last five years or so but this one is too cute to keep out!

I'm a bit... okay, A LOT in love with the shop that makes these aprons. She makes apron costumes for toddler, kids and adults. They also have this retro vibe that I love. I want like all her stuff! Check out her Little Red Riding Hood costume:

But winner winner, chicken dinner may be this super hero costume. The only thing holding me back is how much it costs. I mean, it's on par with the cost of all the cute costumes on etsy but I wanted to cap the cost at $25 per child. This costume is pulling me in though... the attraction is too strong... help!!!!

Do you see my problem besides wanting to spend a zillion dollars on a one day outfit? There isn't anything here for Sawyer. I need your IDEAS or he'll end up in a Gap shirt and jeans like two years ago. Don't make me look bad...

YOU MUST buy that WW costume!!!!! For me....I don't have kids yet and I would buy that in a nano-second. Do it for your fans!! That costume is too perfect. With red sneakers...or mary janes....I just love it! :)
Oh, Halloween - you're the best!
The WW costume is easy to make - it is the materials that are the cost. If you have the sewing ability - which is basic "Home Ec 101" you could sew it.
It is absolutely adorable, but I wonder what she is charging.
Your kids are too small to support it, but the best costume I ever made [without sewing] was for Wallene. I used a round laundry basket, tinfoil, batting and pink paint to make her into a cupcake.
We had people following us around the neighborhood trying to get our phone number to make costumes for them the next year.
I sew 95% of three of our kids costumes until they were 13, but now I am out of the biz. Wish I could make that WW costume for you.
I found the WW on Etsy - It is an awesome costume, especially for 49 dollars. That isn't high at all for a hand made costume of that quality, especially with materials she used and the top is crocheted.
And after seeing a better view of it, that isn't basic sewing. She has talent. My apologies.
I am actually shocked it is that cheap. The tulle and the gold lame' alone would be 20 bucks for that costume.
Try and go online and look up cute ideas - you can do a whole lot for little kids with a basic sweatsuit, paint and reflective tape. Good luck.
With a little boy myself (and no tutus for him) I am thinking more homemade too.
Not an animal bought off the shelf this year.
Why not use that GAP t and jeans, throw in an adult dress shirt and go as a MAD SCIENTIST?
Or spray paint his sippy silver and be a mini James Bond?
Cool costumes. No matter what you get them, I'm sure they'll be winners.
As for the new Blogger Dashboard, I hate it. I refuse to use it until I'm forced to, then only under protest.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE the little red riding hood one. So cute!!! You're right though about the price. Every year I'm so tempted to splurge, but then I change my mind :) Maybe this can be my splurge year.
OK, my mom made all our costumes and I am trying to remember some early costumes my brother wore before he was Superman, Batman, (Insert super hero or Mutant Turtle here).
I remember cowboy, Raggedy Andy (do they still sell those), a really cute bee costume, complete with antennas,and a pumpkin costume all 4 of us wore - added bonus, no pain if one rolls down the stairs, as my sister found out.
I also remember my mom made a turtle costume for my youngest sister. Super easy - green footy PJ's with essentially a pillow on the back. Super cute because she was crawling at the time.
