Last year, if you didn't know, we went as Monster's Inc! It was awesome - check out my first blog entry to see photos.
I always toss around several ideas before ultimately asking my oldest daughter what she thinks we should be.
This year she's telling me that she wants to go as "Plants Vs. Zombies" characters.
If you're not familiar with the game, you plant different plants on your lawn as a defense against different kinds of zombies. There's a slew of plants or zombies to choose from. She wants to be a blue frozen pea shooting plant.
It's a thought. I would have to make almost all of the costumes from scratch because I'm pretty sure there aren't blue frozen pea shooter costumes in the stores this season. :)
I have some ideas if we need to be plants vs zombies.
I am leaning towards trying to get the kids on board with being characters from Peter Pan. You know, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Wendy, Captain Hook, Mr Shmee, the lost boys. There's so many that we could go with.
We already have a skunk costume if one of the kids wanted to go as a lost boy.
We also have several TinkerBell costumes as well.
And to tell you the truth, I kind of want my husband to be Captain Hook and me be Mr Shmee. :) I think it would be pretty funny.
No, he's not going to be Peter Pan. I can't get him to agree on that one. Sorry. :)
I think I might be able to talk the girls into being Wendy and Tinkerbell, and one of the other girls be Peter Pan. This may be a hard sell, though. They love Tinkerbell pretty equally, and I'm sure a fight would happen if I tried to let one of them be TinkerBell over the other. This is why I think I may have the baby be TinkerBell, and the other two girls be a lost boy and Peter Pan. That way, there's no arguing. :) Ellie should be Peter Pan. She'd be so cute. :)
But then again, there's Tiger Lily. So, if I need another girl character, I could always use her. Maybe I will end up talking Andy into being Peter Pan after all?! :)
See how I go back and forth over these things? There's a terrible war going on in my brain over it all.
I'm sure that there will be many more idea that come to mind before the Halloween Season hits. Sept 1st for us is "Halloween Season, " and when I start putting up all of our Halloween decorations.
Well, the Halloween decorations that aren't out all year long. Because there are still a lot of those.
Only time will tell.
Here's a photo I found online of a family Peter Pan costume idea:
And here's Plants Vs. Zombies.
A list of only a couple of characters.
There are way more.
Too many choices. How will I ever decide just one idea this Halloween?!
