Needs courage – stat

It’s Year 2 and not much has changed; this was last year’s attempt at Halloween. We hope by Trick-or-Treat time this evening, she’ll have the courage to proudly wear this outfit for a rip-RAWRing time! Happy Halloween to everyone! (Thanks, Rachael. Rachael is the hilarious force behind Pineapple Babble, one of my favorite blogs! If [...]

Color Me Whine

Oh dear. Looks like the color-your-own costume idea wasn’t well received. I could just see this cop breaking up a rowdy prom with a bunch of toddlers in faux tuxedo shirts. Too, tutu cute! (Rachael strikes again! Her son’s discontent being Superman and a Bavarian boy has also been documented on this site. Wonder if he would [...]

Having reservations

This “Little Indian” is putting forth his bravest face; Grandma says he was a little nervous about the school play. Through his trail of tears, we see a glimpse of a smile. (Thank you Ann! No wonder you are a proud Grandma.)

Handy Man

Not sure if this tiny tike is protesting his spirited hat or his missing fist. In any case, his screams are on target with the holiday. (Thanks, Chrystal! Chrystal’s the mom of  3 girls and one bouncing baby boy, pictured above. Her adventures can be found on her blog, Mommafo.)

Mom says, “Superman’s Kryptonite: too many presents!” Meanwhile, how awesome is it to let your little one wear a Superman costume on Christmas morning? You rock, Rachael! (Rachael blogs for RockOnMommies. This is her second Halloween costume submission – check out Mr. Superman in his Ledherhosen here. Thank you Rachael!)

Vintage blooze: Costume Envy

Halloween 1963. Author Annie Wilder, the little sister pictured above, offers this commentary:  My mask may have portrayed a smiling witch/mouse/troll/hobo, but underneath its plastic cheeriness, I wanted nothing more than to be a sparkly crown-wearing princess with fancy slippers like my older sister, Iris. Can’t blame her. Can someone tell me what this mask [...]

Crabby

Mom Julie says it best: “It’s my son at 3 months in a lobster suit that we reassigned as a crab to match his sister’s Ariel the Mermaid costume. He was Sebastian, but as you can see the whole thing had him feeling… crabby….” [HA! I love it when the parents do the punny work for [...]

Lederhosen me alone

Mom set out to honor her husband’s heritage by dressing the kids in traditional German garb; her son, a strapping young lad at only 18 months old, set out to let everyone know just how displeased he was to wear his very own pair of homemade lederhosen. OktoberMess! (As mentioned, Rachael crafted this costume for her son. I guess I [...]
