LO1 has been talking about Halloween for a month now. She really wants to be one of the dogs from Paw Patrol. I'm sure she will change her mind so I'm waiting to order anything. I'll admit it's pretty fun now that she can decide what she wants to be, and can get excited about it!
Do you know what your LO will be for Halloween? When did your LO start choosing their costume on their own?

DD told me last week she was gonna be Rapunzel and yesterday she told me Elsa
DS doesn't know yet.
DS was 3 and DD was 3.5 when I asked their opinion on what to dress up as before that I picked

Yep got her a Minnie Mouse costume from Costco. She doesn't really understand Halloween yet but she loves Minnie so I assume she won't complain

i haven't thought about it at all yet, but commenting in hopes of getting ideas for a almost 3 year old boy!

DD1 told me she wanted to be a pirate princess, so I'm going to make that happen for her
DD2 I think is going to be a cabbage patch doll, easy peasy all I need to do it make a "box" and buy a yarn hat

I don't think she gets Halloween yet. She had HFM last year so she missed everything at day care and ToT. But I asked her the other night. I suggested a bunch of stuff and she said Molly from Bubble Guppies. Of course the costume I want is sold out. So I am going to get the Minnie costume from Costco as a back up!
@lawbee11: Does it come with the ears?
GOLD / watermelon / 14076 posts
@Smurfette: Yep! Ears and gloves. This is what it looks like:

I'm thinking of making older LO Frida Kahlo and baby LO a tiny Diego Rivera, just because I think it's funny....
Back up idea is Little Bo Peep and a baby sheep.

@lawbee11: Thanks! I didn't check it when we saw it there.

@LuLu Mom: That is awesome! Also, I love the cabbage patch idea!
I wanted G to be a peacock, but now I'm not sure. She loves big, floppy hats so much that I think it needs to be included somehow in her costume!

My brother bought DS a Spock outfit recently. He knows DH and I are Trekkies. It's a little big, but should fit perfectly by Halloween. DS is too young to understand Halloween, or even eat the candy, so we still get to choose. Spock, it is!

DS isn't old enough to understand the holiday yet, but the past 2 years, I've dressed the whole family up as an entourage (Wizard of Oz and Barney/Betty/Bam-Bam). I need to start brainstorming for this year as I normally make the entire family's costume. I'll also be 4 months pregnant so I need to factor that in...

@Anagram: I made LO Frieda Khalo last year. I loved it. DH didn't.
I would like to dress her as Boo from Monsters Inc and DH and I are Mike and Sully. I think I'll make a good Sully at 7 months pregnant. 
I need to get started on sewing that soon.

@Mamaof2: I had no idea it's a show! I've been playing the video game for years though!
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@mrs.shinerbock: Monsters, Inc - okay, that's just too cute! How do you plan on making Sully and Mike's costumes?? I also make our family's costumes so I'm interested to hear how you do it!

@.twist.: 
I didn't know that was a show, either!
I'm thinking about Max from Where the Wild Things Are, but I want to see if E has any opinions on it yet.

@.twist.: oh interesting - I didn't know it was a video game. - guess that is how it started then morphed into a show

I'm not sure yet. I really want to do something twin-ish (Luke and Leia?), but DH wants to dress them both up as Daniel Tiger because they freaking love him. It'd be pretty easy with a red sweatshirt and tiger ears.
pomegranate / 3779 posts
@Alivoo01: I have no idea how to sew for real, but I got a sewing machine for Christmas, so I'm trying to figure it out. I think for Mike I'm going to use the pattern for a pumpkin costume and stuff it with batting. For Sully I might just take a sweatsuit and cover with blue and purple fur.

I'm torn between a cute baby-ish costume like an animal and Doc McStuffins, who she is totally obsessed with and looks a bit like.
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
@Smurfette: I didn't even know that was a thing!!! hahaha I was going to buy this and since I know she wont' war the hat, stick a crown on it. we have a red Pedi skirt already I was going to put underneath to make it "spin" worthy (our number one requirement on every outfit!) http://www.amazon.com/Fun-World-Toddler-Buccaneer-Costume/dp/B00LBHFLC8
@LovelyPlum: I had a peacock 2 years ago, I made it myself it was a pain but cute!

Not sure yet! I asked my 3.5 year old and she said a rock. LOL pretty sure that's because of Prince Wednesday. I was prepared to let her pick this year but I'm not sure if she has an opinion. I suggested a cheetah for her and cat for baby sister. She loves loves animals, in particular, Safari animals.

My LO will be a couple weeks old, but I'd like to put her in something and walk around with her a bit. So I'm thinking of getting something that isn't too bulky so I can wear her. Maybe this? It comes in a newborn size.

My DS is going to be Super Why. We just got the costume in the mail the other day. Only bad thing, is 3T/4T is the smallest size they had and my tiny guy still wears 12month clothing. Hoping some alterations will work.

Yes! Just ordered an airplane costume from pottery barn kids. I waited until the last minute last year and everything was either sold out or too expensive.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@LilSprinkles: super cute!!! I think you can probably DIY?!

M seems to want to be Abby from Sesame Street whenever we ask.
pomegranate / 3516 posts
She wants to be Peppa Pig but the princess version. So my MIL is probably going to make a simple dress out of a dark pink fabric (maybe sparkly). Then we'll just add pink tights and a long sleeved shirt. She already has a crown and wand so we just need light pink wings and a pig set (nose, ears, and tail).

DD will be 5 months old this Halloween and I want to make her a little SCUBA diver (DH and I both dive).
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@Mrs.KMM: That is too darn cute!!! I will have to keep this in mind for next year!!
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
@littleblessings: that's incredible! there's an episode of Jake & the Neverland Pirates that has a pirate princess, I think that's where she got it. I think it will be cute...and so her! she's the perfect mix of girlie & tomboy in her everyday life so this is just spot on.

Yes, only because she's obsessed with Ariel (and has been for almost a year) and dressing up as anything else isn't even an option. This girl eats, breathes, and sleeps Ariel.

I'm thinking Lil' Bo Peep for the 4 year old and a sheep/lamb for the nearly 1 year old.
