Hi everyone - happy October! Have your kids started thinking about Halloween costumes yet? Share your trick-or-treat garb ideas with other community members. To get us started, here's a link to some great costume discussions from last year: Halloween costumes & costume ideas for infants.

What will your kids be this year?

I'm the mom who always wanted the cutest costumes for her kids and I wanted to pick them out.  I didn't take hand me downs from siblings b/c I've seen those before.  I wanted to have something original.  This year that has changed.  My daugther will be a 50's Girl (an outfit from her cousin who wore it last year) and my son will be Tigger (an outfit that 2 cousins in the same family have worn).  I struggled with ideas last year and this year with my oldest in kindergarten, I just couldn't be faced with one more decision.  Plus the costumes are cute!

This could very well change before Halloween... but as of right now, my daughter has her heart set on being a cat. Personally, I hope she sticks with this, because it should be an easy costume to pull together!

My blog post today might help with ideas too. http://blogs.brighthorizons.com/momtomom/2012/10/09/group-halloween-costumes-for-kids/ 

Another cute idea I've seen is have one kid dress like a farmer and the others like animals.
