Halloween Theme

October 13, 2011 by Leave a Comment

I am huge fan of dressing up as a family in theme costumes!  I’ve only been able to get audiologist man to go along with this a couple of times.  He’s more inclined to dress in theme if we have a Halloween party to attend.  Unfortunately for me we have only went to a couple of costume parties in the 9 years we have been married.  Most of the time we get together with friends for October 31st and the kids just all dress up.  But I dream of throwing the ultimate Halloween party one of these days!  Maybe next year…  

The first year we were married there was a work party to attend and we went in 50’s costumes similar to these:

   

 

Then for Banjo’s first Halloween we partied with friends and I went as Velma:

 

Audiologist man as Shaggy:

 

And Banjo as little Scooby:

 

All of the above (and many more) group costumes can be found at Pure Costumes.  Also, if you make a purchase from their Facebook Store then you will get 5% off!

Oh and how could I forget…

 

 

 

Wasn’t he the cutest little Scooby ever???  🙂

Pure Costumes Coupon Code

It’s October!!! Which means…  My favorite season of the year!  I love the fall colors.  I love the cooler weather.  I love the hot apple cider.  I love the pumpkins and most importantly HALLOWEEN!  Are you ready for it?  I wish that I could say that I was already, but that wouldn’t be true.  Do I have my harvest smelling candle burning?  No.  Do I have the Halloween decorations up?  No.  Are they even out of storage?  No.  Do we have our Halloween costumes all decided on?  No.  I feel like such a slacker!  Sure it’s only the 3rd of October, but then I see all these other great blogs that have it all together already… and I feel way behind!  Let’s get started on the easy part first shall we?  Deciding on a costume for Banjo.  That part is made easy with the help of Pure Costumes, because they have every toddler Halloween costume imaginable!

Over the summer Banjo requested to be Thomas the Tank Engine and they’ve got him:

Last month it was Woody from Toy Story:

 Last week it was a pirate:

 

This week?  This guy:

Fortunately for me Pure Costumes has got ’em all!  But can anyone give me a suggestion on how to get Banjo to decide???  Stay tuned…

Trains, trains, and more trains!

Banjo eats, breathes, and dreams trains!  What 3 year old boy doesn’t?  Here have a look:

 

 

Told you so!  :)   That last one was taken on our very own St. Louis “train” (MetroLink).  He loves to ride on it and I’m happy to oblige, because I’m not shy of public transportation.  It’s good for the environment and it saves me $$$ at the pump and parking garage.  Nothing wrong with that! 

Recently Costume Discounters sent Banjo the Thomas the Tank Costume :

He LOVES it!

Shortly after trying on Thomas he wanted to know where the James costume was.  Fortunately Costume Discounters also has those James guys in halloween costumes! 

In fact Costume Discounters has tons of fun boys costumes!  Be sure and check it out for yourself, because it’s just that dandy!
