This is a sponsored post, all thoughts are our own. Spoiler alert: I’m a dad. When you have children dressing up is more fun. I marginally enjoyed dressing up in costume when we didn’t have children. Now that there are small people around who really get into dressing up; it is more fun and I am super eager to get into costume with them this year. Children think you’re hiding behind a 2” tree, put on a superhero costume and you will have them jumping for joy.
That was our oldest when he was brand new to the big brother scene. It was also the first year that he gleamed that dressing up in costume could get you candy. That lesson was promptly forgotten for a year.
However, when the next Halloween came around he was full bore dressing up as a horse. Still unable to say trick or treat to where people could understand him, he gamely walked around with his horse around his waist and his orange pumpkin in hand.
These are the pictures that you remember when you’re grown up. The countless years that you wanted to dress up as animals. That time that your family dressed up as The Wizard of Oz. How about when your younger brother was dressed up like a spider when he was one-month old? These pictures are classics. This year he doesn’t even want to wear his costume until Halloween so that he can keep it brand new. After that, he’ll wear it wherever it’s acceptable.
There is still time to get that great costume from Buy Costumes. It’s super simple and will take less than 15 minutes to outfit the entire family. When we ordered our items they all showed up with quantity, complete details and more.
If you’re not sure what you want to wear there are multiple Top 10 Costumes, you can search by age, boys, girls, groups, movies or price point. Life’s better in costume and the photos that you take with them on will be the priceless memories to think of and bring back at weddings or special occasions. For the record, I will be wearing some sort of scarecrow paint on Halloween.
