I am a big believer that there is no reason to go out and buy Halloween costumes, just use what you have around your home creatively. It really helps the the school the girls go to really encourages the kids to either go as your favorite book character or what you want to be when you grow up.
Last year Rebecca went as Pippi Longstocking, which is just one of our favorite characters of all time. It was fun to wire her braids straight and wear the crazy color combos we could find in their closets. Two years ago Regan went as her American Girl Doll Molly. It was so absolutely cute....and all she did was wear a raincoat, and take her doll's book.
Other great easy ideas:
1.Any old prom dress with a sash, and being a beauty queen/prom queen
2.Wear a suit (male or female) and be a reporter with a microphone
3.Wear a tracksuit (male or female) and add a medal...instant Olympic Athlete
4.Make clothes a little ratty, and make a bandanna sack on a pole for a hobo.
5.Dress in Sunday best and carry your bible to be an evangelist.
6.Wear a suit and clip board, and make an IRS badge (really scares the grownups).
This year Regan wants to go as Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles....so an 80's look is what we are going for. Rebecca is wearing a huge tutu and feather boa, to be Fancy Nancy. Have fun with your costumes, and don't make them stressful. It should easily adapt to all sizes, and be fun!
