Figured since it was mentioned lots in the bday thread I figured we should open up the convo
Also, I usually have all these awesome ideas until it's time to buy and then I draw a blank. So I need ideas

I think DS wants to be a fireman, so I was thinking of doing the girls as Dalmatian puppies ...maybe get a wagon for them.
Otherwise, I will just find cute (hopefully coordinating) costumes for the girls.

No clue yet. It'll boil down to whatever DD1 wants to be then we'll figure out something that corresponds.

The boys will be dalmatians and dh and I will be Horace and Jasper from 101 dalmatians. I thought about being cruella devil but it's a lot of effort lol. My mom will likely make the costumes for the boys.

Here is what that exact one looks like in action. DS1 2 years ago. I LOVE it but I think it is too big for DS2, which makes me very sad. I need to find it and check. PDQ picture.

DS1 is insisting that they be Thing 1 and Thing 2. I need to ask him again though because we haven’t been reading Cat in the Hat every night anymore so he may not care anymore. At least the costumes would be easy. I don’t have any better idea so that’s fine with me.

roloma, so cute! I can't believe how expensive they are though 😬 especially in Canada. My only idea so far is a judge. My sister and I thought of it because she loves the wooden hammer from her activity cube so much and it's like a gavel 🤣

DS wore this costume for his first Halloween and DD2 wore it last year (it was her 2nd one because her first Halloween she was just 3 weeks). DD2 will wear it and then I plan to either sell it or turn it into some kind of keepsake. Maybe a stuffy?

It was still relatively expensive but not quite as bad.

I'm not sure what will stick but I was thinking of doing a theme with H and the dogs but that sounded too difficult so I was thinking just dress H up as a dog lol. We'll see as it gets closer.

Not sure. DD was a pink flamingo for her first Halloween so we won’t be reusing that. No ideas yet

We are the Incredibles. I pre ordered from Target but a lot was sold out already, including the Violet costume with the skirt. So I got DD1 this instead and I know she will love it.

Granted, not sure how many people would get it other than nerds like me!

Where to start. We're trying to pull together a family theme. I have concerns that my ability to push that idea is going to disappear in the next few years as the kids get older, so I'm trying to make it good.
1. Scooby Gang: Dh-freddy, me-daphne, kids in flux because everyone wants to be Scooby. Ideally, dd1/dds-velma or Scooby and ds-shaggy.
2. Mario: Dh-bowser, me-peach, ds-mario, dd1-luigi or Cappy from odyssy, dd2-toad
3. DuckTales: kids- Huey, Dewey, and louie, DH-launchpad, me-scrooge or Webby. DH has a thing about dressing as an animal though, so he's being weird about it)
4. We Bare Bears: kids-bears, dh-charlie, me-chloe. This isn't very mainstream so it may be hard for most people to get, which isn't super fun.
5. Over the Garden Wall: DH-woodsman, me-the beast or frog, dd1-wirt, ds-greg, dd2-beatrice. Also kind of obscure.
