In my effort to blog more often, I want to share fun stuff on Fridays. No heavy news articles or disturbing third-world trends on Fridays. Today I will share some fun Halloween costumes I found on Pinterest. Pinterest is the best place to go for costume ideas, or ideas of any kind really. 
I Love Lucy – You would have to have a pretty cool circle of friends for them to appreciate this one, but the execution on this is perfect.
Mermaid – This one looks easy to do and still easy to walk in and doesn’t involve your little girl wearing a seashell bra.
Gypsy – very easy to achieve with things you already have on hand.
Lego characters – one for the boys.
Wheelchair costumes – Pinterest will show you everything for everyone. Here’s another idea and another.
If these ideas don’t work for your kids, just leave a comment, with your email address, requesting an invite to Pinterest. I will send you one and you can look around at all their ideas. Have a great weekend!
I was definitely a gypsy for Halloween one year as a kid! Pretty much it was either easy/homemade or we dressed up as whatever we were already doing that year (i.e. “soccer player,” or “ballerina”).
It is much more fun to make the best of what you have on hand.
I remember one year when my daughter was young, I forgot to make her a costume for her school Halloween Parade until the morning of. I quickly cut out two big circles from a large cardboard box I had, filled in the circles with a black magic marker, dressed my daughter in a white sweatshirt and white tights and then hung the two black circles over her shoulders with some twine. Embarrassed, she went to school as an Oreo Cookie!
She might have been embarrassed, but I bet you were feeling good about pulling it together on the fly. Anyone can buy a costume.
I was also a gypsy! I loved my costume that year! =)
