This is a photo of my family’s Halloween costume.  My husband had shingles last Halloween so we had to postpone our dress up day.  Today, we went to a birthday party where costumes were encouraged so we pulled out our outfits.

Can any of you guess who we were?  $5 Amazon gift card to the first person to guess all three characters correctly.  No cheating (don’t Google for help) and none of my friends who were at the party today are eligible!  If ya’ll like it I’ll share more of the costume details with you later.

This year my little girl dressed as Minnie Mouse!  {You can find the details of this DIY Minnie Mouse Halloween costume here.}

We didn’t actually take her trick-or-treating.

It was pretty chilly and I’m not a fan of the whole adults carrying babies and begging for candy for “them” thing.  Although had it been a little warmer I probably would have taken her out just to show her off.

As it turns out she wasn’t too fond of getting her picture taken on Halloween.  In her defense we did spend 30 minutes wandering downtown among many strange looking tricker-treaters as we searched for the photography studio.  Once we found it we didn’t give her a chance to warm up to the place before sitting her in the floor and walking away.  Bad parents!

Her sad face did make for some cute pictures though.

She ended up calming down just slightly at the end when she was shown the candy inside the pumpkin.  Like mother, like daughter!

That’s all folks, another Halloween is in the books.  I hope you had a great time with your kids this year no matter how you chose to spend the 31st.  If you dressed up for trick-or-treating I would love to see your posts so feel free to link up in the comments!

Minnie Mouse Ears $4.99 + $4.99 Shipping on Amazon (Also at a local Birthday Express)   Super cute, right?  I think these will make a fun dress up accessory for later too!     Sears’ Girl’s Dress Multi-tier Short Sleeve Dress – On sale for $22.00 (Originally $44)   I’ll probably throw a short black cardigan around her if it’s cool out.  I love that this is a dress that she can wear again and again.  Plus, it doesn’t have any of that itchy fabric that cheap Halloween costumes do!   Amazon’s 3 Pack Tights for Baby – 1 White, 1 Black, & 1 Pink in size 9-18 months $5.99 (other sizes available)   Any black tights will do but I found these for a good price on Amazon.

The shoes that started it all!  Disney Baby by Stride Rite Soft Motion Minnie Mouse $42.00   $42 is a bit much for a Halloween costume accessory so if you aren’t in need of an extra pair of shoes I’m sure any pink or black ones would look great too.   I might add a little black face paint on her nose too!  What do you think?  Would this be cute or am I letting the pink and polka dots cloud my judgment?
