Halloween will be here before you know it! This year, I am challenging myself to have my kids' Halloween costumes way before October 31st! My children have been talking about this year's costumes since last year. Of course, they have changed their minds nearly 100xs! A Spirit Halloween popped up in our neighborhood and I am seeing a lot of the classics!

Superheroes: Characters from recent superhero movies and TV shows are often popular choices, such as Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Batman, or characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Animals: Animal costumes, like dinosaurs, unicorns, pandas, and cute critters, are perennial favorites among kids.
Disney Characters: Beloved Disney characters never go out of style. Options could include princesses, Toy Story characters, or superheroes from Disney-owned franchises. The Little Mermaid is trending everywhere! I can not wait to see all of the beautiful Ariels around the world!
Classic Monsters: Traditional Halloween creatures like vampires, witches, ghosts, and werewolves can be adapted in various fun and creative ways.
Movie and TV Show Characters: Characters from popular kids' movies and TV shows that are relevant this year could also be trendy costume choices.
I'm hoping my girls will confirm their costumes soon so we can get them before the pickings get slim! What do your children want to dress up as this year? We have lots of school/local events to attend! Both of my girls are excited to wear their classic Jack-o-Lantern tees while trunk-or-treating!
