We were given a baby dragon costume when I was still pregnant. But now a really close family friend is crocheting me a firefighters outfit and it should be the perfect size at Halloween. So I haven't decided just yet. Maybe he'll do both.
Ha! My MIL asked my almost 4 y/o what she was going to be for Halloween and she responded "it's not time for Halloween!!!" I have no clue. I'd like to coordinate the kids, but not sure if I can now that DD1 will want to pick her own.
When I saw a similar thread over at the May board my reaction was, wow this feels super early. Athlough it's totally the retailers doing by having costumes out this early. When I had DD I got super excited about Halloween costumes fairly early, although her birthday isn't technically until Sunday so still not this early. This time, yeah not so much. Maybe by September I'll give it some more thought.
Ha, I already thought about this but only because I was organizing our stored baby clothes yesterday and came across DS1's first costume. It's a sleep sack made to look like a banana. It was huge on DS1 at 1 month old which is lucky because now it looks like it will fit LO just fine, come October. This is DS1:
DS1 will most certainly want to be a power ranger. He's been obsessed for months.
I've actually thought about this cause my 3 year old is already asking about Halloween and keeps asking if he could be Mario. So I might have baby as luigi because how cute would that be lol
Do it! Then in a couple years, he should be the magic mushroom and then in w couple years big Luigi. Then frame pictures of the 3 together

It will probably change a million times before Halloween, but right now LBB wants to be a lion, so I was thinking we'd do Wizard of Oz. The little guy will be either the Tin Man or the Scarecrow
We always had homemade costumes growing up. I originally thought this thread was a bit early, but I should probably get started sewing already
We always did too! DS's first Halloween I bought him a little outfit because he was just a little guy yet, but last year I half created my own! (With clothes he already had, but still!)
Otherwise Nope nope, I don't want to think about summer ending yet!!

I really don't like Halloween, probably because I am the biggest chicken ever and all the scary stuff gets to me. But somehow all the kiddos out vote me every year about doing Halloween, imagine that I would love love love to do a Harry Potter theme with our whole family this year with LO being Hedwig because I have seen some adorable owl costumes on Pinterest. But I don't know if my older boys will be game, because they are getting too cool for stuff like that.

My MIL is insanely talented with crafting/sewing and is already planning his costume. Right from birth this kid has been nicknamed 'Thunderpants' for his explosive gas and my H jokes that's his super power. Well MIL is making a marvel-inspired superhero outfit complete with gold lamé cape and 'Thunderpants' logo for his super hero identity. Lol. We were dying, she clearly has had time to think this through. Lol!
If you don't have it already, this book would be a great addition to your library for LO.
I really want to do the baby scuba diver costume idea for DS2, I think it is stinking adorable with the pacifier as part of the oxygen tank. I may make DS1 a shark or fish to go with it, but not sure yet.

I planned ages ago to cosplay as hobbits at VidCon this year. Since the baby was born later than I thought, we didn't go to VidCon after all but I still want to be hobbits so that will probably be our Halloween costume. I'm so excited I got DH to agree to a family costume! The only question is will I get around to sewing before Halloween comes around. I've always loved costumes of all kinds and started planning for Halloween in March as a kid. One of the things I most looked forward to for having children was the costume aspect. So my mum going through my baby clothes and saying the cat costume I wore as a baby "will be her costume" was a laugh and really confusing. Doesn't she know me?
