Ready for candy


Halloween costume crisis solved. Yes I realize I have over a month until Halloween. However, I am a planner. I do things ahead of time, it helps with my stress load, it makes me feel somewhat organized, and it’s just what I have to do…. I was very stressed with my options from Gymboree, whom I have always gotten the girls costumes before in the past… However, in August when they came out, I wasn’t that impressed…I did kinda like the cheetah costume they had, but my issue with them was price. I know Gymboree isn’t cheap, but I think it is retarded of them all the different pieces of the costume separate. The dress was 30 something, the tights were 12ish, and then the tail and cat ears were $20. Hello? This isn’t a formal dress for a party, it’s a freaking Halloween costume… Let’s be realistic Gymboree.
Honestly, I was close to giving in and was waiting for the right time to scoop it up with a coupon, but that’s when I scored a cute Lady Bug Costume at Tjmaxx. I love me some Tjmaxx. They have some adorable costumes…. The lady bug one is cute, extremely girly, and came with the wings, and head piece all for just $20. Can’t beat that. Laura loves it, and had already pranced around in it.
So the others? I was not handing down to Rachel this year, but she freaking actually asked to be a butterfly, so hey, she’s getting the hand me down from last year… Emily will be rocking out the bumble bee, so it’s official…. The kids are all going to be insects. Pretty, girly ones though…
Seriously, get to Tjmaxx and check out the costumes, Halloween decorations, and new fall clothes… cause you know I just didn’t buy the costume…

I like the girly insects idea! I just picked up SpiderMan for Jack yesterday...not my first choice, but he begged. Sigh...

Sound super cute. I just framed 8 random prints of the kids in costumes over the years and decked out the fireplace mantel with them...it's so fun to walk down memory lane. We had clowns and cows, kittens, and batman, pirates, dracula....
