I have said it before, and I'll say it again - I really do not care much for Halloween. Every year I try to love it, but our Halloweening usually ends up being a bust. But I do love candy, and I actually do really love cute little kids in costumes. So, now that we happen to have a super cute little kid, I am hoping this holiday will move up on my list. In fact, we've been practicing! Yesterday I pulled Brin's old costume from last year out of the closet. Remember this??
Hands down she was the cutest (and chunkiest) little lady bug! It was a little big on her las year, so I thought I'd see how it fits now, and wouldn't you know, it worked!
Well... sort of worked. The striped tights were a definite no go, the shirt was obviously a few sizes too small, and the rest was a little tight (read: really tight!) in the shoulders and diaper area. But she was in love with it! She ran around and shook that little bug butt all afternoon. It was so fun! I cannot believe how much she has grown. Our little baby ladybug turned into a big girl ladybug... I'm not quite sure when that happened.
Although she looks fabulous in stretched out size 6-month bug clothes, this one isn't our final candidate for the real candy fest. We have gone the rounds trying to decide what to dress her as this year, but I think we've settled, and I think it will be just as fabulous. More to come on that later.

ReplyDeleteJust Wait....pretty soon she won't fit in the laundry 'basket' anymore either to be pulled around.....and you'll really wonder what happened ....
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as the costumes go...you might want to think this through...
If you don't stop the love of costumes in her now....I'm just saying....you may end up taking her to the store in JULY dressed as BAT GIRL.....I'm just saying.... 23 years ago...her daddy insisted he had be in full costume every time he went out of the house (in July mind you)....and people are going to look at you....
This is the voice of experience...
I'm just saying.....he is her father....
So true Melody! Just the other day I saw a little boy dressed up in costume. But it was September, not July!
ReplyDeleteI actually think you need a new costume every year. All your future girls will use it! It's worth it! Or you could come to Boise and look through Reed and Melody's Halloween costumes. That's where we come up with ours every year. All of our boys have been Batman and you can't find that quality of a costume in stores!
