Halloween Costume

A pink monster and a blue monster. DD1 is going to be a kitty..

 

The girlies are going to be clowns. My mom and I are n the process of making their costumes now. It's the first time I've made anything like that and I'm so excited to see how they turn out.

I was trying to get my older daughter to be the wolf and the babies the three little pigs but she isn't buying it. DH would but may be working. That or Ashley as Cruella and three dalmatians.

I am thinking my 3 oldest will be the three little pigs and the baby will be the big bad wolf.
Or we will have 3 princesses and a prince.

 

Probably a Ballerina and Knight.

Last year it was Princess and Pirate.
Year before they were Lion and yes, a Fairy Princess.
Year before: Allie was a cat, Robbie a dog.

I wanted to do Blue/Magenta (they were both obsessed!) but couldn't find the costumes so late.
We also tried Luke and Leia, but Allie soooo insisted on being a princess.

Thought about Dora/Diego this year (Robbie is way obsessed with Diego), but then I'll have to make their costumes. And if I make THEIR costumes, the other 4 kids (well, Liam-21 months- won't care) will want me to make their costumes, and dang if I have time or creative energy to make a bunch of silly pokemons or whatever, lol

 

How is it that you are choosing their costumes????

Mine told me in no uncertain terms that Liam is a car and Joss a snake.

 

I am in the process of making the boys lion costumes.

 

The little two are going to be a giraffe and an elephant. My middle dd is going as a flamingo and my oldest is going as a zoo keeper.

 

DH and I love monkeys so we got the ON monkey costumes. They were the best looking ones and the cheapest!

I think Hoops and YoYo. For those of you unfamiliar with them: Hoops and YoYo!!!

I'm going to try to make their costumes (in all that spare time I have!).


You'll definitely have to post some pics! K&M love Hoops & YoYo. We spend alot of time on the hallmark website checking out their e-cards.

I got the costumes from buycostumes.com, same place I got their bumble bee and lady bug costumes last year.

I have to out myself here and tell you that I stole your bumble bee/lady bug costume idea. In fact, after I read this a while back, I started telling everyone that I was dressing them up as these. Then I forgot where I got the idea from until today when I saw this. Thanks!

 

I wanted to do Abby Cadabby since my girls LOVE her, but the costumes are $25-$30 each so I tried putting something together myself and it's just not working. We went today and bought some ladybug costumes from BJ's. I need to get more creative in the future I think.

 

Cookie Monster & Elmo (b/c I got them for 75% off in early November last year).

That is what my boys were last year. (Well my avi does show far animals as their costume but I ended up returning them because they were too hot but I got a picture first!)

My boys are going to be Thomas although they wanted it off when I tried it on them the other day. They are not big costume guys.

 

Mine will be little Rock Stars.

Hopefully it will be cute.

Thomas has leathr pants and ELizabeth a leather skirt.

Last year my guys were Dragons. This year they want to be super heroes so I am thinking about one being spider man and the other being bat man.


I was wrong... they picked out these horses that goes around their waists and it looks like they are riding them. I am going to dress them as cowboys for them as well. Katie is a Pirate Princess. I can't wait to take pictures.

 

My mom sews and went and got the fabric for the girls costumes yesterday!

They're going to be a lady bug and a bee

Ladybug and Bee

I love the little tu-tus and the fact that they're going to be able to be warm! It's starting to get chilly up here!

 

my 9 yr old DD is going to be a mailbox,

the twins---
DS is gonna be a mail man and DD a piece of mail

my 9 yr old went along with it because she thought it would be so cool....!!!!
