I’d be overjoyed to be able to cross whatever off my Halloween to-do listing early, so I’ve been hunting for Halloween costumes for Connor (and Tabs as well as myself, too!) since last week.

Searching for “toddler woman costumes” on etsy has me believing about youngsters costumes… Seriously, when did they get so intense? My very first costume, which I used one year in kindergarten, was huge Bird, as well as it was a plastic body sheath with a plastic mask that had holes in it for the eyes, nose as well as mouth (I have vivid memories of barely being able to breathe in it, however you do what you gotta do for free candy, ya know?). It was simple, affordable as well as effective. as well as memorable.
