I'm a bad mommy. I just can't get excited about Halloween costumes this year. My excuses are as follows:
- My kids just don't get that excited about Halloween yet
- They refuse to wear an itchy or scratchy costume (or even one that looks like it could be itchy)
- It will be cold out
- They'll look cute in anything
Oh, who am I kidding... I've been phoning it in from the beginning! |
- Road Trip Costume by Disney's Spoonful. Such a comfortable costume-- and my son loves cars.
- Homemade by Jill's baby Aerobics Instructor. This is super adorable, and I probably have everything on hand-- including an old boombox to take the place of that super cute felt one she made.
from Real Simple |
- Both kids would love these superhero costumes from Real Simple. You could even use solid colored footed pajamas-- and I've seen funky duct tape at Walmart.
- Hoodie Costumes from Martha Stewart. There's even a frog and princess!
- Finally, I just love this Charlie Brown costume from Not Enough Hours in the Day. I'd definitely find the motivation to make my daughter a matching Lucy dress.
Some of these costumes are a few years old-- but I just love the simplicity of them. You can tell I love those sweatshirt costumes! (We used them last year too.)
I feel my motivation rising just by writing this post! How are you feeling about Halloween this year?
he looks so different as a baby!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm glad you liked my Charlie Brown. It was very easy for a tired mom! Jessica
ReplyDeleteYour son is just darling in that outfit! It's a perfect fit. Love your blog name and website domain name, by the way!
DeleteAw, thanks. That is how I feel. Even tonight my husband was talking about all I want to do and said, "you know, there just are not enough hours in the day!" Tonight he is working on this first post for our blog. I hope to make it live early next week. I'm trying to get our son to wear parts of this year's costume so he will be still enough for picture. If I can get him to cooperate, I post about it before Halloween (fingers crossed!) I'm keeping the idea all hush hush, though. -Jessica
DeleteP.S., I've linked back to you. Your blog is gorgeous.
Not enough hours-- Thank you! Blogging is a ton of work especially alongside parenthood! I wish I had a few more hours in the day too! I'll be crossing my fingers that your son cooperates for a picture too-- I want to see the costume!!!
DeleteOOOOH I *love* the baby Harry!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad someone got it! He was just over a month old so I just drew a zig zag on his forehead with eyeliner. Lazy mama!
DeleteThat is such a cute idea :)
