What are your children going to be? How did you manage to affored them this year, LOL?




I bought three awesome dalmation costumes from Disney Outlet for the trio, at $14.99 a pop! Wahoo! Those three costumes combined cost as much as Abbi's sleeping beauty costume (and light up shoes, and crown, and wand...). The older girls picked out ghoolish costumes from Walmart for about $17.00 each. I feel like my pocket book was just completely violated! And this year was less than half of last years expense.

I bought online and spent too much money. If I had ordered the costumes I really wanted a few weeks ago it would not have been so bad. Ben's elephant costume and Katie's panda bear came today. Ben's costume is going to be big. Hopefully not too big. Katie's panda bear costume has furry feat. They did not show that in the picture. How is she going to be able to walk without slipping and falling? I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut the feet out. Hopefully I can do it without totally ruining the costume. We are still waiting for Abby's monkey costume. I can't try anything on the kids until we have all 3.

I really want to get some costumes right after Halloween for future dress up clothes. For those who have done that, did you find stuff on the internet or in stores? It is kind of hard to drag the trio around looking for a bargain.
