I, too, have been deluged with Halloween costume catalogs (and frankly, it feels like they are trying to torture me because it is so frackin hot out there that I would LOVE it to be October...)<BR/><BR/>Last year, after her one-size-fits-most ladybug costume finally bit the dust, Liv wanted to be a witch. So, I consented to let her order this hugely ornate costume from a catalog. She had a major growth spurt in September, right after we ordered it, and by Halloween, she was bursting out of that outfit like a barmaid in a hoochy cooch bar. <BR/><BR/>This year, she wants to be Hermione Granger. I figure this should be easy. We will frizz out her hair a bit, spray it brown and put her in a small black graduation gown. She has the wand from last year. <BR/><BR/>And we might be set!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-54379918919709860852007-08-12T10:15:00.000-04:002007-08-12T10:15:00.000-04:00I was at TJ Maxx yesterday and they had some Hallo...I was at TJ Maxx yesterday and they had some Halloween candy out by the cash register!!!!! It's 100 degrees here in Nashville this weekend! Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>I have had excellent luck finding costumes on eBay believe it or not. But I do try to wait until the first of October because kids change their minds about 9 million times. <BR/><BR/>I am not very crafty and so far the most elaborate costume I have made is a "ghost" with an old white crib sheet and black felt! ;)BlondeMomBlog (Jamie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11678207937709971411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477057.post-7105159475618671502007-08-11T18:31:00.000-04:002007-08-11T18:31:00.000-04:00You're doing good to 'only' be dealing with Hallow...You're doing good to 'only' be dealing with Halloween! I was in the mall yesterday and walked past a store with a big Christmas display right by the front door!!!<BR/><BR/>My almost 3 year old has a ton of princess dressing up outfits - I'll be starting my campaign soon that she should dress up as a princess for halloween - save a whole lot of hassle and not to mention money for me :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387168103798629268noreply@blogger.com
