The baby inside the SnowBaby costume is just too adorable for words…I also loved the Bee and the Skunk costumes!

They are all so cute but I can’t imagine paying $30 or more on a Halloween costume. I had enough trouble spending the $20 for my daughter’s princess one this year. My other daughter is using a hand me down Old Navy witch costume that her sister wore 4 years ago.

Yes – the snowbaby baby is way too cute! My little one is being a baseball this year
(Not a player – the ball!) I found a big canvas baseball (think yoga ball size) and took the inflatable ball out. Stuffed it with pillow stuffing, cut out a head, arms, legs. Baseball socks, red high-top converse and a baseball cap make him the most adorable ball I’ve ever seen! (The only problem is he’s telling everyone he’s “screwy” — from “Everyone’s Hero.” I get it but I’m not sure anyone else does!)

My daughter is 19 months and going to be Minnie Mouse. I got her costume at buycostumes.com…18.99..I didn’t think that was bad! It was just the dress and ears and we have black tights and red/black shoes here! I can’t wait since she is old enough to participate this year! Last year she was too young to do much!

My boys are going to be doctors/nurses/surgeons. Whichever they want.
They have child-sized scrubs (real scrubs) and real stethoscopes (discount), and I’m going to make ID badges for them. Both from jascouniform.com.

My daughter decided she wanted to be a cat this year. It’s being pieced together with things she already owns and a few items I bought. It will be a black leotard, black tights, white legwarmers and black boots. A homemade tail and some bought ears. Then I will be painting her face up to look like a cats. Very easy and really cheap since I owned most of the items.

I like shopping online for the kids’ costumes, it is SO much less stressful and they actually have fun browsing

Our 10m old daughter is going to be Yoda this year. With a Dad named Luke, and an Aunt named Leia, how could she not be Yoda?
My older daughter is going to be Hermione. Tried to get her to go as Princess Leia again but it was a no go.
