Well it is that time of year again, time to prepare for Halloween!
Ken and I absolutely LOVE Halloween and hope that our kids love it as much as we do as they get older. But I have noticed that we always have issues when it comes to picking out Kenny's costume. It is just so hard to find a unique costume at a low price. I always swore growing up I would never get my kids the generic costumes from Wal-Mart.
Growing up I remember my mom making most of the costumes or wearing hand me down ones she had made for my older siblings. One year she made this beautiful bride costume, another year I went as a ninja turtle, and one year I went as a lack and white clown. All made by her! When my niece Hilary was a baby she made her this adorable elephant costume that they still have today.
Anyway, Ken and I need ideas! I can't make him a costume since I don't have a sewing machine, so I need help. Please post some comments on what you think Kenny should be for Halloween.
Oh, you are probably wondering about baby girl. Well, since she will only be 2 weeks, most costumes will not fit her. So, I made her this adorable pink tutu that we are going to pair with a onsie and some infant fairy wings. The onsie is going to have an iron-on applique that says future ballerina.

Oh my gosh, baby girl's costume sounds SO ADORABLE! How fun you can buy/make them for both a boy and a girl now!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to find the right costume. Liam is going to be a lion... I posted some pics of some on my blog (under the Halloween label) but I am not sure of Kenny's size.
If you google "toddler halloween costume" you can find some cute ones. I know he's been a skunk and a pirate... how about one of his fave cartoon characters or a puppy, a monkey - he would look SO CUTE in a monkey costume! Or, a football player to go with the feminine ballerina. I can just picture the black lines under his eyes, lol.
Let us know what you pick!!

PS: My mom always made our costume too - it was so special. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Unfortunately, where we live, we don't get many trick or treaters but now that Liam is born we will have so much fun taking him door to door.
ReplyDeleteI remember your pics of how you decorated your porch (was it your porch?) last year - SO CUTE! What are your plans this year?
