First of all making the Poison Ivy costume wasn’t hard BUT finding a durable bodice was very tricky. This is a costume that you definitely have to start looking for all the supplies a month in advance and start creating maybe two weeks before Halloween.

Every year, we decide as a family what our Halloween costume will be. Always homemade. Last year, we went with Disney’s Jake and the Neverland Pirates Family Costume since this is our 5-yr old’s favorite show. Each costume was pieced together, using the actual cartoons as a guideline.

Darling son number 1 spotted a triceratops dress up in a store the other week, but our challenge is quite simply his size; at three and a half, he is wearing clothes for five year olds. The costume in the store was for age 3-5 and an all in one which definitely wouldn’t work for … Read more
