Since we already have a birthday party thread, and trtlcrzy posted a link to Target's 40% off Halloween costumes, I think it's time for a thread. What are your kids dressing as? Do you do sibling costumes or is each kid doing his/her own thing? Any families costumes?

Last Halloween really stuck with Josie and she keeps telling me she, again, will be a princess and Charlie, again, will be a raccoon, but then she'll change her mind and tell me that she's going to be a fairy. I keep pushing for the sibling set of little red riding hood and the big bad wolf bc 1. cute and 2.warm but I have a feeling we'll end up with a fairy and some random animal. I always buy some kind of ears for me and MH.

I immediately went to target's website so order costume after seeing the deal. N originally wanted to be Poppy (and H would be branch because I can still force them to coordinate) Until we watched beauty and the beast and now she wants to be Belle. So I'm going to order her Bell costume now. Too bad Target doesn't have a beast costume. Or H could be chip. Hmmm... DH and won't dress up on Halloween but we always go to a Halloween event over the weekend that we dress up for. No idea what yet. ETA- beast or chip?

Last year M wanted to be an elephant. I got his costume from PBKids. It was kind of expensive, but by far the cutest one I could find.
Good news is he wants to wear it again this year and it still fits 🎉

@slelne, i like the beast costume better, but it depends if he'll keep the hood on his head while you're walking around. This is part of my thinking with Charlie. I know he won't keep the hood up or a hat or wear glasses for any extended period of time.

H will be Moana. She has been saying she will be Moana for Halloween since we first saw the movie. I am going to do belle for S because she likes books. DH and I will play it by ear. Not sure if we will do anything for halloween this year, depends if we get invited to anything.

Colin asked for Gekko from PJ Masks. As DH was about the get the costume, he changed his mind to a skunk. Then he was all excited to be Flash, but now he's back to a skunk. I'm just worried that he'll end up unhappy when all his friends show up as superheroes or firemen.
Chase will probably be a doctor because he loves to walk around the house in Col's doctor coat with a stethoscope around his neck. He doesn't tolerate anything on his face or head, so it's pretty ideal.

Cadence wants to be Elsa. I told her I'll be Anna and mh will be Olaf. She said, no he needs to be "pissed off" (Christoph), but he wants no part in dressing up at all. This year I will take her trick or treating and mh will stay home to pass out candy. Our neighborhood kids have proven to be little jerks who take the whole bowl of candy rather than just one or two pieces when we leave it out.

Again, Team Procrastinator here. I did actually ask E what she wanted to be for Halloween and she said Elsa again. Actually Elsia thanks to some stupid you tube video, which started us down the conversation of the difference between Elsa and Elsia.
Anyway, I'm sure her costume from last year would fit again, it was too big last year. But she wants to cut her hair and I don't know if we will wait til after Halloween to cut it for her costume. Really, I won't talk to her about it again until the beginning of October because she changes her mind very fast.

The girls were eying costumes at Costco and I just went ahead and bought them so I don't have to put anymore effort into it and they can't change their minds. Maddie is going to be a pirate and Cass is going to be a cat. I wish I could get them to do a sibling theme but oh well. MH and I will probably wear our Dharma Initiative jumpsuits because we're Lost geeks.

Matthew wants to be a fireman. Which he was 2 years ago. I would like Jack to coordinate but I doubt he'll go for anything really lol. I'm going to try for a dalmatian again.

It's a little girl basically playing with Barbies. So many freaking episodes

Ok, I found a cuter beast costume and there's a 20% off code. I think I'll do that. H loves to wear hats so I don't think he'll mind the hood. I think he'd tolerate that better than the cup costume.
Now I just need to let N decide which Belle costume she wants.

I tell E to turn those videos down or go sit by herself so I don't have to hear them. I'm terrible.

Anytime Cadence says she can't hear them I tell her to go to my room and lay on the bed. It gives me some peace and quiet.

Another PSA: this website sells better quality costumes so for anyone who's child likes to wear them longer than Halloween. H wore her rapunzel costume so much after last Halloween it ripped and I had to toss it. I think I might get her a couple dresses from her to play with. littleadventures.com

E is going to be a spooky ghost that glows in the dark. I am excited because I think I can make this. I think I am going to see a hem at the bottom and put in glow in the dark necklaces. I might even make a matching one for me, because why not

M says he wants to be a drum major like last year. I'm pretty sure the costume is too small. Hopefully he changes his mind. If not, maybe I can figure out how to make M2 an instrument. Maybe a drum?
