I reallly like the bag of Jelly beans Idea!! Might have to propose that to DD#1.
When she was 1 we made her a hula girl. Cut a styrofoam ball in half, and glued it to a tan shirt - with yarn as the bikini strings. Hula skirt over tan leggings. Lei, flowers in hair, inflatable guitar and a palm tree (centerpiece) in the wagon. We totally should have won prize in the local parade.... It was a riot.
at 2 she was a cow - costume was $4 on ebay.... This year she wants to be Spongebob, but I am gonna mention the jelly bean bag - especially since we call her "Bean"!! Maybe I'll make DD#2 another kind of candy - a tootsie roll, or a lollipop, hmmmm, gotta think....
