Ghosts of Halloweens past and future

I'm not crafty or creative so Bug's Halloween costumes have come from the store. The first year he was a monkey and I was an organ grinder.
Last year he was a dragon, or as I like to say, a fire-breathing toddler. (Notice the port-a-potty in the background. Road construction started in August of last year. They hadn't done much by the end of October.) But I digress... This year the plan is for Bug to be Super Why. It should be easy...I bought the cape set this summer complete with mask and Whywriter. I need to find green sweats or thermal underwear/jammies. Who knew that would be difficult? I think I'm going to stop short of making Bug wear a blue Speedo over his pants. I'll put the book image on his chest and be prepared to explain at each door who he is...

  3. Haven't seen the show but the costume would be really cute!! Gotta love the use of a blue speedo in any Halloween costume!

    I adore Halloween because of the costumes. My mom used to make ours when we were kids but I'm not that crafty!

  4. Super Why! My toddlers have just discovered PBS & Sarah LOVES Super Why :)Try Walmart (if you haven't already) they have Garanimals separates in basic colors, maybe you'll have some luck there.

  5. Charlie will be wearing the exact same costume this year as last year. Last year he was completely clueless and was only awake for like half an hour so I figure it's OK.

  7. How cute!

    You know, if you can't find the green color you are looking for, you could just buy plain white and dye them. It is super easy AND fast.

    Enjoy the time that you can pick out their costumes....My six year old wants to be a ninja this year because it came with knives. Last year she was a pirate because it had a sword. My four year old son, on the other hand, wants to be a cow for the second year in a row.

    Should I be worried?

  9. How incredibly cute! I only did homemade costumes once and I had a friend make them. I'm not talented that way.

  10. So cute...other than I have no idea who or what Super Why is. Thank goodness you had a picture! Gosh, thanks for the reminder; I've got to find a grim reaper costume. That sounds cute, huh?
