You are awesome for thinking about Halloween already. <BR/><BR/>We have costumes that have been passed down, even one I wore as a kid that my boys wore. I wish I was better at sewing them like my mom was.raising4boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589032602889740091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-59030956165281278182008-08-18T14:09:00.000-07:002008-08-18T14:09:00.000-07:00Awesome costumes!!

I have found some cute ones on-line and Kohl's has a decent selection, though as the kids get older the demands are to be more creative. I am already starting to think about what will be the kids demand this year, so we'll see.goingsomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355028946489463782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-47201389744785106672008-08-16T21:29:00.000-07:002008-08-16T21:29:00.000-07:00i've made some and bought some. i always thought i...i've made some and bought some. i always thought i'd be a costume maker like my mom was but i'm pretty ok with finding something FAB on clearance. and using. Savers (thrift store) had costumes out today already! i bought a couple dance costumes. and a formal dress that would make the cutest fairy princess. <BR/>add wings and a tiara and i'm DONE! easy. love the skunk and lion! DaRLING! my sister does those kind. and yes i covet!<BR/><BR/>fall is overrated! there is something fab about never having to wear sleeves or a coat for trick or treating. but it's also all i've ever known too. i am dying to decorate for Halloween now! i think i've succumbed to retails timeline for holidays.Crazymamaof6https://www.blogger.com/profile/12010784861707678433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-1369743121248200322008-08-16T20:52:00.000-07:002008-08-16T20:52:00.000-07:00Laurie... the ones I see look fabulous! I sew, and...Laurie... the ones I see look fabulous! I sew, and I'm not thrilled usually to be called upon for costumes. They are generally hard to do and have odd things to create. Although I have to admit that Jake told me "You need to make me a Spiderman costume!" and I have been figuring out how to do it... even though Heather says she can buy one for $10... it's not the same. It's fun to make a spectacular (or even adequate) costume... it will be kept for years and everyone remembers... but even better if you have little ones coming along that can wear it!<BR/>Go for it girl. For some of us (Cathy!) the only time we create something is Halloween. What a great time!<BR/>Love you!<BR/>Aunt LyndaLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675700716421818067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-68534973667946041262008-08-16T19:12:00.000-07:002008-08-16T19:12:00.000-07:00I can't sew that well so I buy mine.

Last year Nathan wanted to be an Army guy so we got my husband's Army clothes out of the garage and put green makeup on his face and viola! He looked great!! Then there is Marshall who is little and tends to freeze while Trick or Treating. I bought his at Old Navy. It's a cute lion costume and he wants to wear it all the time. I think your lion costume is dang cute though! If I could make them I would. Maybe I'll try this year.Aprilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981297083253938248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-42773932753208216622008-08-16T17:28:00.000-07:002008-08-16T17:28:00.000-07:00I made Kyara a devil outfit when she was about 2. ...I made Kyara a devil outfit when she was about 2. That was just the hat and tail, and it nearly killed me. Since then, my creativity is maxed out by buying a bathrobe and glasses for Harry Potter. You and Dani must have gotten the creativity gene! Now most of the kids can do the costumes themselves, so if they can think it, I support it!Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-75262687651927239532008-08-16T16:01:00.001-07:002008-08-16T16:01:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.KLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946537560990319216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-46492372335734016122008-08-16T16:01:00.000-07:002008-08-16T16:01:00.000-07:00I can't believe your friend would not return the c...I can't believe your friend would not return the costume. That is pretty strange. You should have a side business making costumes. You are really talented. If I ever have kids, I might have to order something from you.KLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946537560990319216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-82676559452235420782008-08-16T14:58:00.000-07:002008-08-16T14:58:00.000-07:00I have made my kids costumes in the past too.

I think it's definitely worth it if you can find the time. Last year, I made my son the planet Jupiter. He's big into planets so I thought it would be perfect for him and it was. I can tell you one thing, nobody else had a Jupiter costume. =)Krickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897876801774414352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530179012160550641.post-32920875792672095932008-08-16T13:40:00.000-07:002008-08-16T13:40:00.000-07:00My sisters make some pretty rockin' Halloween cost...My sisters make some pretty rockin' Halloween costumes. I am pretty good at borrowing them;) The oonly time I run into a problem is when one of their kids wants to use the one I wanted to use. What can you do. I am also pretty good at buying cute costumes at Costco. And Old Navy after Halloween. Yeah, I'm that creative.sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12815096701813162258noreply@blogger.com
