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. What about one kid being Scooby and one Scrappy?

So this isn't a costume, but I will take any opportunity to AW my favorite pic of DD1.
I know some people hate baby crying pics, but i find it hilarious. MOTY. And here is another pic to show she did stop crying quickly, lol. Poof

I found a cute costume I might use! Problem is the biggest size it comes in is 12-18mos and kid is already almost in those sizes. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180813/14ee2f0516d5d841a15a0823cd594eb8.jpg)

quinn, the costume I got for DD2 is a 12-18 month, and she is already solidly in 12 month if not almost too big for it. So I'm just hoping for the best. 😂

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. I love this idea!!!

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. Idk how big your dogs are, but last year I made my son a dog and my dog a baby. I put her in a onesie with a bib around her neck. It was easy and cute.

I’m going to take this opportunity to AW our past costumes. Our first Halloween, DD1 got sick for the first time so I didn’t have time to complete her wig and used fake spiderwebs LOL She’s doc if you can’t tell. Lab coat made by my Mom and her onesie said Genius ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/d8d73695ae9141a3c312697e89e6553b.png) The Cher to my Dionne, I think I made the blazer and then my mom stepped in and made the skirt since I always procrastinate ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/a0751f797606a57e61496ebc07efb183.png) I think I posted these last year, we did Monsters Inc for Disneyland and Halloween Day. My mom did an amazing job on that Boo costume but DD barely wore it 🙁 ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/a5974a2522a0aefb008f5c26e41707ac.png) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/fc0b8668da456f74a42c2d2ad7ba012a.png) Also last year my mom insisted on making DD this Moana costume because DD was obsessed at the time. Thankfully DD loved this one and wore it at Disneyland and to school, and for general dress up! ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/5147b6f68e24ee639c13d2178a99098e.png)

This year I reallllly want DD to dress up as Cruella and then the girls can be Dalmatians. I mean this is just the best ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) I don't know if I can convince her to do it though, she's 3 and very opinionated now. She keeps saying she wants to be Boo again, but that's not happening. I could always be Cruella I guess, but it wouldn't be nearly as cute.

Those are all amazing belle0720! That Cher one is my favorite I think, following closely by BTTF. The others are great too though. I love Halloween but I have never been great at the actual costume part unfortunately.

Our favorite costume that we have gotten is this one for DS1 which is probably what we will dress L up with this year. I’m not sure what DS1 will be yet. I probably need to ask him if he has any ideas. (He will be 4)
poof

Maybe we'll be the Sing characters...that will give us lots of options. Rosita and Ash costumes would be really cute!

belle0720 stop it with the Cher costume! That is the best!! Right? It was so much fun! Once the babies fit into it I'm definitely going to have to create a Dionne costume so I can dress them both up and get use out of it again!

Am debating selling DS’s 2nd Halloween costume (he was a monkey, PBK costume). Am having all the feels about it, but also n is that it will be the wrong size for the girls / won’t use it. How much do you think I could ask for in an online yard sale? It’s in great shape because he wore it for a grand total of 1.5 hours 😂

Most Halloween costumes are listed around $10-15 in my Facebook marketplace (across brands -- the higher priced stuff doesn't move, even if it's PBK). Eta you might want to wait until closer to Halloween too. That way people are more desperate and willing to spend more $$

I plan to wait until sept to list a few of DD’s old ones.
