It's 70 days till halloween

It’s 70 days till baby’s first Halloween and I feel like we need to do something epic. I know he won’t remember it and I’m kind of being selfish because this is totally something for me. I spent most of my pregnancy hoping that he would be born early so I would have an excuse to throw him a costume party every year. Instead little man camped out inside till almost Thanksgiving, which I can’t really blame him for. All last through out my pregnancy I was Googling the newborn costumes for something ridiculous to bring him home in just in case. Here we are almost a year later and I get my first Halloween with Mini in 70 days.

That means it’s time to plan costumes. Most years if we have The Bigs it means I break out the crafts and they get home made costumes. It won’t be any different for Mini. However he is still to little to go anywhere without mom or dad which means we need to figure out a group themed costume because I am feeling like being just that anal about the whole situation. Ideas I am toying with

-Batman and Alfred- for him and dad.

-Batman and Batgirl- for him and mom.

-Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach-all of us.

-The Wicked Witch and her winged monkey-him and mom.

Or if we have The Bigs (which is highly unlikely given that Halloween falls on a Thursday this year.) 

-Justice League

-Avengers

-Wizard of Oz

I just want to do something silly and fun given that this is the first. It sets the bar for the future and it’s a great time of year for photo opportunities. Not to mention with my fabulous powers of procrastination if I don’t start early things happen the day of. A few years a go twas the day before Halloween and I had yet to start the Bigs costumes. I have no wish to ever repeat that level of crafting anarchy. So even though he won’t be trick of treating this year. I do hope to take him to Boo our family and create some special memories.

You might be saying you have two months gesh lady calm down. I completely understand but as I only got to celebrate Halloween once as a child it kind of made a big impression on me, as it was s forbidden. I never want my children to feel left out of something that is such a part of a “normal” childhood experience. That and I have spent years hearing how cute his siblings were and maybe I’m a teensy bit competitive?

If you have ideas, suggestions, hand me downs let me know, thanks.
