Halloween Costumes 2010

It's so hard when the stores start putting out the Halloween costumes in August. My kids start thinking about Halloween way too early, and change their minds several times in those few months. So this is what we ended up with after all was said and done.

Abbie was a very cute witch for a few of our Halloween parties, and then after her tights ripped at school she was a pirate (from last year). I really loved these tights that she picked and couldn't resist buying them really early. It's a good thing she didn't change her mind.

Avery was originally going to be Hannah Montana, but then switched to her vampire costume from last year when we pulled it out of our Halloween costume bin. I was happy to take the Hannah costume back and save some money by reusing an old costume. She did have some great vampire teeth for the parade at school.

Our little Lizzie wanted to be a mermaid for months. I finally caved and bought her this Ariel costume when I realized she was not going to change her mind. It must be a popular costume for her age because three out of the six girls in her preschool class were mermaids. She was in heaven with this costume on. She was even caught several times walking with quite a little sway in her step while wearing it. She was too cute!
