This year my boys are being: a king, a wizard and a phantom. I pulled out a bunch of big pieces of shiny, stretchy velour that someone had given me and voila--costumes. They didn't even want me to sew anything, and they put them all together themselves (except for one adult-assisted wizard broom).

Thanks so much for your Halloween i...Hi Mary Beth,<br /><br />Thanks so much for your Halloween ideas! I LOVE the green pumpkin idea. We also allow a few treats that night, and then hand them out as "dessert" for a few nights. I then make the remainder magically disappear, but as the boys get older this might be harder to pull off. The Green Pumpkin just might save me this year (:<br /><br />I made some costumes, but kept it simple by using t shirts and tights as the base and the adding to them. They are spiders this year and it was pretty easy to pull together.<br /><br />As for decorating, I left that to the boys. They were so into making any Halloween craft I could come up with, our front door is covered in little pumpkin faces and ghosts they made. A few Jack-o-lanterns as we are set.<br /><br />We have to drive to houses, since they are so far apart around here. This helps limit candy too. I can only handle so many ins and outs of the car seats!<br /><br />Have fun tomorrow and thanks for the ideas!<br />jenMadame Melvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014342177820042162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-91580590749129850192011-10-30T14:22:18.932-07:002011-10-30T14:22:18.932-07:00Well, the kiddo is only two, so this is going to b...Well, the kiddo is only two, so this is going to be a family affair. We are all getting dressed up and this will probably be the first and last time it ever happens :-) My husband is wearing his work uniform (he's a fighter pilot) and my son is wearing the matching uniform. I'm wearing an airplane costume. And not even a SEXY airplane costume. Lame.Ashley @ It's Fittinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215563010125807371noreply@blogger.com
