Making a matching family Halloween costume is one of those trophies for toddler moms. We don’t get sleep, warm meals, or much silence, but our kids aren’t “too cool” to match their parents on Halloween yet!
Over planning in my natural fashion, I had plans for our family Halloween costume to be Ninja Turtles for the majority of the year. With our costumes already ready, my toddler completely lost interest in Ninja Turtles by August. Of course. Instead of going through and sticking with the theme, I sped-ordered a firefighter and Dalmatian option for each kid and provided the choice to our 2-year-old. Because we all know that if I ordered one costume and didn’t give him the choice, I would’ve picked wrong.
When he immediately chose the “puppy!” we had a costume ready for his brother to be the corresponding fire fighter (an adorable sweatsuit from Carter’s). I had a polka-dot shirt handy, and ordered some dog ears for myself and a firefighter baseball cap for my husband. We ended up all happy in our costumes, comfortable, and matching! How many more years do you think I can get away with this??
I’m excited to see what happens next year.. What were you for Halloween?
Cute! I love family costumes and hope to do them as long as possible. We did Toy Story this year. 🙂
That's SO cute! Can't believe I'm just reading this now! My oldest loves Toy Story, I may steal that for next year!
