Halloween is right around the corner
Like anyone doesn’t realize that already. LOL
I still haven’t decided what the Kiddo is going to be this year. I don’t even think she has any clue either, since she doesn’t quite understand the idea fully just yet.
Her first Halloween, she was a vampire witch. It fit perfectly because she was just getting her top teeth in around that time – and the teeth that came in were NOT her front teeth. It was the two teeth on either side of the two front teeth. So she looked like a little vampire. LOL I’ll have to post a pic of that this weekend so you can see what I mean.
Last year she was a pixie princess (she had no wings, so she wasn’t a fairy princess).
For the most part I have to pick a costume that she isn’t going to melt in, because where we live, the temperatures are *maybe* in the low to mid 70s at night around Halloween. Maybe. So it’s not like I can pick some ultra fluffy outfit that would keep her snug and warm, because we don’t need it. She’d be a puddle of sweat halfway through trick-or-treating. So, stuffy outfits are out.
I’m thinking ladybug maybe, if I can find one that is made with lightweight material. If not I can probably try to make one with black onesie/leotard and tights, and make the “wings” out of cardboard or something. Why spend the big bucks on a pre-made outfit when a handmade one would look just as cute? I mean, she’s 2.5 years old, so come-ON! She’s cute without a flippin’ costume!

Good luck finding or making your dd’s costume. I think a ladybug would be really cute.
This year my 5yr old daughter is going to be Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and my 2 year old daughter is going to be The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. My mum made both costumes, and they’re way cuter than anything you could have found in a store. So, yah, I’m all about home made costumes. Have fun! =)
