Happy Halloween!
I found the girl's costumes for Halloween in the beginning of September! I usually go to this second-hand shop in my town to find clothes for cheap. The day that I went, they had just put out their collection on Halloween costumes! And they were selling them for $1 each! I couldn't pass it up! I did a once-through and found three perfect costumes for my little ladies!
But this past Saturday, I went back to the rerun shop to find some workout clothes for me. They had more Halloween costumes and they were in the FREE bin! I went through the bin and found seven costumes for the girls that will fit them until they are 10! When I got home, Vivian showed interest in one costume that I brought home, so Charles and I decided that she would dress in that costume for trick-or-treating.
Caitlin as Spider Girl
Caitlin was set that she wanted to be Spiderman this year. I was very lucky to have found a costume for her right away! It was right next to a red tutu. I put the two together and BAM! Spider Girl was born! Caitlin spent the night singing, "Spider girl, spider girl" and shooting web from her hands! She really is my hero!
Rosalie as Princess Barbie
Each time Charles and I go shopping with the girls and we go to the toy section, Rosalie goes crazy in the dress-up section! So when I saw the bright pink, puffy dress, I knew she'd LOVE it! It had a picture of Barbie in a small jewel on the dress and Rosie noticed it right away saying, "Princess. Barbie!" She was very happy to be wearing a puffy dress that she could spin in! She's my little princess!
Vivian as Tinkerbell Fairy
We originally got a duck costume for Vivian. She wore it to 2 Halloween parties that we went to the weekend before. But when she saw the pretty green tutu, she tried to put the costume on by herself! It had just enough stretch to put on over her coat last night while we went trick-or-treating! She also had a little jewel on the front of her costume that had a picture of Tinkerbell in it. The only thing missing from Vivi's costume were her wings, but no one even noticed! She's my little fairy!
I was a goober and didn't take any photos of our girls at the Halloween parties we went to last weekend. Caitlin went as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Rosalie wore the same costume as she wore for trick-or-treating, and Vivian wore her duck costume. I did, however, get one photo of Vivian in her duck costume!
Charles and I dressed up for the Halloween parties. I went as a Vampire Queen and he went as a Skeleton Jester. I didn't get any photos of us... I'm sad about that. But we had a lot of fun! I won a friends' costume contest with my costume and got a lot of compliments!
For trick-or-treating last night, we went to one large neighborhood to go trick-or-treating and stopped by some of our friends' houses. The girls had a blast! They kept commenting on other kids' costumes and the Halloween decorations in the yards!
I want to have coordinating costumes next year, maybe. We'll see! I want to make our costumes, too. But if not, the girls have many costumes to choose from now! Hope you all had a fun, safe Halloween!
