Meg's post on FB got me thinking about Halloween. Have you already decided on a costume(s) for your kid(s)? I had a cute idea for Henry and Cece but Henry is demanding to be a vampire. A vampire. How does he even know what a vampire is?! So bizarre. If that's what he wants to be that's fine (I'll make Cece a bat or something) but I was hoping he wouldn't care and I could just pick for him again
Nothing too creative (because I'm the least creative person ever) but a T-Rex costume for Henry and a baby T-Rex hatching out of an egg for Cece. PBK costumes, so way too expensive, so maybe this vampire thing is the way to go.
C is going to be a ladybug! I got it on clearance last year and just asked her today and she said yes! That was easy!! I have no idea what is going to happen this halloween because I am due Nov. 5, but I bet he will come early and we might be stuck in the hospital or home with a newborn! Exciting times!!
If I am still pregnant, I want to mimic the photo in my signature.

Initially I was planning on letting Dagny pick a princess costume from the Disney store but today she wanted to be The Hulk. So we'll see what she wants to be come October. We have an elephant costume from when Dagny was a baby for DD2 - it may be too big, if so she'll just be a cute baby:)

I think pbk costumes are adorable! I always end up waiting too long to order the one I want then they are sold out at the end of September.
Aubrey said she wants to be Ariel so that will probably be her costume. I'm not sure what Shane wants, I would guess Captain America or Iron Man. I wanted to convince the kids to be a tornado (Shane) and Dorothy (Aubrey) but that will never happen.
I have to go to Disney for a training seminar in September, so DH and Elena are coming too. We're only there for a few days, but we're taking Elena to Mickey's Halloween party. She'll most likely be something disney related, maybe a princess.

We picked out costumes the other day (OUAC brought them all out so I figured I'd look before they were picked over). I took DS with me and he picked out a dragon costume from old navy and he picked out a "baby dragon" (aka - a pink unicorn) for DD. He was been obsessed with dragons since he saw How to Train a Dragon.
I also got a lady bug for DD and I'm thinking of getting a cheap Miles From Tomorrowland costume if I can find one for DS to wear to preschool because the dragon is pretty big and puffy (good for cold trick or treating but not so much for a classroom). I figure it will be dress up clothes afterwards. Besides I spent less than $20 on the 3 I got from OUAC - yay!

Benjamin wants To be marshal from paw patrols. I thought about matching Abby and getting her Skye but I'll probably just borrow a cute peacock costume from my sil, that my niece wore a long time ago.
Out of the blue last week Robin informed us that for Halloween he will be a silver bunny, and Margaret will be a baby bunny, and mommy will be a carrot, and daddy will be a scary monster. So if anyone sees a silver bunny costume around...

I want to do a family costume since I'm going to be pretty pregnant by then: M would be Jake, I would be Smee and my H would be Hook. I already bought the shirt Smee, so I guess I still can. I haven't asked M yet, but I saw a Chase costume at Costco and he would probably want to be that if he saw it. We will see. He changes his mind too often.
Ugh so Elise is set on being a flamingo again. She is convinced that she can't change it up. "Mom I am ALWAYS a flamingo for Halloween!" I may reuse the ghost costume for Vera, that Elise was two years ago because it was so cute

I was hoping to talk Liam into being a minion, but I impulsively bought him a firefighter costume at costco a few weeks ago. I think we'll go with that since I don't want to buy another costume.
If you ask Liam he says he wants to be Minnie Mouse, daddy should be Mickey Mouse and I should be Goofy.
Mira wants to be Cinderella and I'm going to re-use her baby sized mouse costume for Eleanor. Mira has told me that DH will be a prince and I'm a queen.
Anna said she wants to be a butterfly. That's good because my niece was a butterfly and my sister has wings. They just need some adjusting. All she will need is something to wear with it and some little antennae. Ethan hasn't made up his mind and I'm in no hurry. So far he has said zombie, ninja, and Iron Man.
Dahlia says she wants to be a cat, but I was hoping for something a bit more creative so I'm going to keep asking and see if she changes her mind.
Juno needs a jeckyl and hyde costume, she is such a crazy little person. Or maybe i'll get a shirt for her i saw that says "Stage 5 Clinger" cuz thats exactly what she is.

Cosette wants us to be a family of Ponies. This year she want to be Fluttershy so she can have pink hair. I get to be Applejack and poor H has to be a Brony and be Rainbow Dash.
no idea! I should see if Greta fits into Henry's elephant costume from his first year. (I can't remember what size it was, but definitely big for his age)
