OT: What is your child going to be for Halloween?

I love Halloween and it is time to start thinking about it. What are you guys doing for costumes for your little ones (disclaimer:if you are doing costumes)?

A princess, but we think that is too predictable so we may do a monkey....I am sure I will have YEARS for dd to be a princess! I am not very creative so it will be a costume from old navy

I don't have a clue!!! Alex was a cow for his first Halloween and Puss 'N Boots from Shrek last year. Both were SOOOO cute.

He has much more of an opinion this year, but if I left it up to him, he would want to dress us as one of the Disney Princesses. (don't ask!!!)

I hope I can get some good ideas from you guys.

Kim

Last year Curtis was The Cat in the Hat (non-creatively purchased - and picture attached) because we were reading a lot of Dr. Suess to him then. By that theory, this year he should be Thomas the Train (or Percy), or a gosling (Gossie), but really we have no ideas yet. If anyone has use for a Cat in the Hat costume size 12-18 months - its available.

Sabrina was a bee last Halloween. Mainly because the costume was one of the smallest toddler costumes I could find, and it was still quite "roomy". She is such a peanut. Since Halloween, we got her Barry from the Bee Movie, and she just loves him. He sleeps with her every night, and often accompanies us when we go shopping or out to dinner. I asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween, and she said "Mommy I'm a bee". So I guess we're recycling last year’s costume.

I love Halloween too!!!!

I'm not sure just yet.

I think either JoJo from Jojo's circus, a puppy, minnie mouse, or??

I ask Madeline (she has no idea what I'm talking about, but I like to ask her opinion) and she changes her mind everyday lol!

Andres was a pumpkin last year. If there is any chance he will fit into the pumpkin costume again I will re-use it.

Emmi is very opinionated and has wanted to be a witch since she announced it after last Halloween. So a witch she will be! If Jake is home by then, which we really hope he is, he will be a lion and the 4 of us will be Wizard of Oz (me, Dorothy and DH, scarecrow).

ROFL I love the disclaimer!

Alec wants to be Batman. UGH...how original! LOL

Mikayla is either going to be a princess or a ballerina. She LOVES dressing up in tutu's and princess crowns so I am just rolling with it even though it's kind of cliche. But heck! She might turn tomboy on me and want to be who knows what next year so I am taking advantage of the girly stuff while I can!

Anyone have a costume for me? I am on the hunt!!!
