Planning ahead – Halloween
Posted on: August 29, 2013
These early years of a child’s life are probably the most fun a parent can have.
I’m only saying this because all I have is a small child.. and so far, it’s been really fun!
One main reason I love being the parent of a small child is that I get to choose her Halloween costume.
She’s too young to have a preference, so I can do what I want.
Last year, we were lucky to get a Minnie Mouse costume for her birthday. That pretty much made our minds for us. She was Minnie Mouse for her first Halloween.
This year, I didn’t want to go out and spend money on a costume that she probably won’t remember wearing anyway.
So, I decided to be resourceful.
Dora the Explorer!
Oh, it’s easy! Orange shorts. Purple/Pink top. White shoes.
She already has a Dora backpack, thanks to my cousin! That can also double as her candy holder. And she’s got an inflatable Boots the Monkey, thanks to my mom!
So easy!
I decided to start early. It never fails that whenever I’m in the rush to buy a specific article of clothing, I won’t be able to find it. So starting early meant that I had time to look for it.. poof! I found it! I found it all at The Children’s Place.
So, I’m done.. I just have to wait another two months for Halloween to actually happen…
Have you started planning for Halloween?
