Husband had his Superman shirt and for the kids we bought Batman shirts and masks (then painted She-Babe’s pink). We decided to use them again for our Superhero family costume. We had the grand idea to each get our own superhero capes and walk around with it all day. The summer before this Halloween we visited Great Adventure with my sister and nephews. Gotta love the inexpensive-ness of DR salons. Since my hair skills are crap, I actually went to the salon to get my Wendy hair going on. Wendy was the hardest but a friend lent me a blue dress and I threw a blue tutu around it. We found it at a craft store in DR, bought some wings, and then found the Peter costume. Our Peter Pan year was inspired by the Tinkerbell costume which wasn’t, in fact, a Tinkerbell costume. Ahhhh when they’re young and little and let you do whatever you want. And there is really nothing a projector and cardboard can’t do. Daughter wore that dress on the daily anyway so that was simple and painting the He-Babe’s face to be Beast always makes me laugh. I heart-eye emoji loved our Beauty and the Beast year. We had costumes for half the family (obviously the kids) so Husband and I pulled together some things we already had at home and bought a few finishing details. Super Polo and Captain La Cadena to the rescue.įollowing the baby news, this year our family was complete with the He-Babe. Two of the big supermarkets in DR are Super Polo and La Cadena so we made a play off of that and became superheroes. This next costume only works in the Dominican Republic which is why I love it so much but you could make something like it work for you too. I was an exhausted mess and Husband was still happy and charming. We had just had a the She-Babe 2 weeks before so NOPE - we went small this year. Our fifth year we were Tired AF Parents but for real. Those pictures went down with MySpace so you’ll just have to take my word for it that the costumes were epic! Year 3 Husband and I were Inspector Gadget and Penny and Year 4 we got help from a friend and were The 3 Little Pigs. Sadly, our Halloween pics from Year 3 and 4 are missing and I sure do wish I had them. (Fun fact: our dog, Olive, got her name because of our Halloween costume this year!) Husband is def the more Olive Oyl statured of the two of us so we changed up roles. We should have known from our first costumer ever that we were meant to be together forever. And both characters are pretty much our exact personalities. To date, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy is a FAVORITE! The chances that I had the perfect dress for this? High. (This year’s costume could possibly take the trophy as my favorite (!!!) so keep an eye out on Instagram and Facebook for what is coming!) Some Most years we’ve pulled together a costume last minute. So for those of you still wondering what to dress up as, I figured I’d share the wealth. It’s about going for it - putting it out there and looking silly and being 100% invested. Husband and I had an evolution of pretty crafty couple costumes which then became crafty family costumes after the kids were born so if you need ’em, we’ve got some Halloween costume ideas for couples and families.Īnd, side note, it is not about having the most elaborate or put together costume. Our kids have tried a couple of times to be basic about something and Husband and I look at them with squinty whatchu talking about Willis eyes and ask, “Do you even know this family?” In Halloween terms, figuring out costumes stresses me out so I put it off for a while until the the procrastination stresses me out more and then we somehow pull something out.
