Quick Update On My Daughter's Halloween Costume...Finally!

Well, last week I had posted about girls Halloween costumes and just what is going on with them. My daughter and I were in a standoff as far as her Halloween costume this year because the ones she kept pointing out to me were, let's say, a bit too sexy for my approval. And she is only 11!
So my update. Thankfully we have reached an agreement (just last night, whew...talk about cutting it close!). We are making her a costume that will be mostly what she wants with a bit of mom's input too. She will be..."A Dead Prom Queen". I know...morbid. But she is happy with her decision, finally, and I am more than happy that she will be in an outfit that does not look like it's made for Hollywood!
We have most of the costume together, and will finish up tonight. Hopefully I will get some photos (if she lets me!), and I will share here.
Just wanted to say Thanks for all the wonderful and supportive comments I got when I posted about our dilemma!

Dinosaurs R Us This Halloween

So my wonderful imaginative 4 year old has made a very important decision. He will be a dinosaur for Halloween. Decision done. Costume search will now commence. I love Halloween. And I love 4 year olds. I especially love my little 4 year old.
He is nuts about dinosaurs right now which is cool because last year at this time he wanted to be a worm for Halloween. Dinosaurs are way better than worms, in my opinion anyway,

So my son says he wants to be a red and green T-Rex dinosaur which is currently his favorite among all dinosaurs. I must admit I prefer green and red as opposed to purple (Barney ring a bell?) for dinosaur colors, but I am thinking he will look like a Christmas dinosaur.

My son also wants his little brother to be a mermaid or a Barbie. Which just seems to be fine with my 23 month old. He smiled his drooly huge smile when his older brother informed him of this decision tonight. I won't tell you what my hubby had to say about this however. I'll just leave it to your imagination.
