Easy Halloween Costumes

With all the hectic-ness that is my life right now, we're going for super easy Halloween costumes this year. And by super easy I mean "cheap/free and no hassle''. On October 31st, we'll actually be driving back from Kansas (only 5 more days left until we head home!) and the kids won't get to go trick or treating. Hence the main reason why I'm not shelling out the time and/or money for "real" costumes. Secondly, they have so many dress up toys at home, that this was too easy:

 

And Sissy's was just as simple...

Part of me feels really guilty because I usually go all out for Halloween. Themed costumes, hand-made, I mean something a bit more thoughtful than this but you know what? The older boys are ECSTATIC to be ''home depot'' guys and Peanut chose to be a Conductor all on his own when we found the overalls (in the garage, inside a tote...forgot I even had those!). Sissy will either be an OU cheerleader or a chicken, just depends on the weather. Her chicken costume is Bubba's old costume but pretty stinking adorable.

She may not agree though. Those pants were ticking her off pretty fierce.

sneak peek....

yep, it's that time of year again. and to all you neigh-sayers who are thinking ''it's september 5th...is she serious?" yes, yes i am. and just take note that last year (and the year before), i started even earlier... i had bought bubba's costume in august. i ♥ halloween!

(oh and we haven't yet purchased/made peanut's costume...yet. we're at a loss because we can either go the ''lion, tiger and bear'' route or just do jungle animals. but bubba was already a monkey and I don't like repeating.)
