Halloween & Christmas

Any ideas what your LO's are going to be for Halloween?

Also, I'm going to start buying Christmas gifts for the girls soon so I can buy a little at a time. Any ideas for presents?

 

I bought two little bunny outfits after Halloween last year for $3 each. That's what mine are going to be. I've also already bought them a play kitchen for Christmas.

 

I also was thinking about a kitchen. WHich one did you get?

I just bought their costumes last week. I got a lion and the scarecrow since i have a dorothy costume, now I have to convince DH to go as the Tin Man or wizard
NO idea about Christmas...I have to get through their b-day in Nov first!

 

All of my girls are going to be Disney princesses for Halloween because we are going to Disney in a month and they will need the outfits for our character dinners.

Not sure about Christmas. I wonder if I could regift my oldest DD's kitchen.

 

For halloween, Jake is going to be a lion and Josh will be a giraffe. I was going to do Elmo & Cookie Monster but even used, they cost too much. I decided on vest type costumes because the weather in Chicago is always up in the air for halloween. Last year it was in the mid 70's and their costumes were made out of fleece. At least with the vests, I can dress them in lighter or heavier clothes depending on the weather.


Have not even thought about christmas, and then their birthday is January 5th.

 

im going to make my girls tutu princess dresses! i know thou we will just trick or treat in the malls its easier and warmer! the boys want to be transformers last year i saw a Incredible's family with all the family dresses as an incredible! it was super cute! i took a pic of them :lol:

 

The boys are going to be cowboys for Halloween with overalls, plaid shirts and straw coyboy hats.

For Christmas I am thinking of some puzzles, more tools for their toobench, duplo blocks and some little people stuff.

 

I'm trying to find alligator and shark costumes for the boys because their nicknames are Nater Gator and Shark Boy.

No ideas about Christmas yet!

 

Halloween: We got a pink polka dot dress with a poodle on it for Lily & a scarf and for Max cuffed jeans & a black leather coat. They are going 50's theme so we can reuse the costume pieces. Last year they wore their costumes for 3-hours and I thought it was such a waste.

Christmas: We found one pedal car on craiglist for Max and DH is looking for a Pink one for Lily or a pink retro tricycle. He is trying to relive his childhood with toys he wanted but never got . I think its a little early for the previously mentioned toys, but we bought them a kitchen for their birthday that is still in the box that will be put together after Christmas because it's permanent spot will be where the tree is going.

 

Halloween: Luke is going to be a spider and Sophia Little Miss Muffet.
Christmas/Birthday (in our case): Nursery Rhyme CD's, Tag Junior, Leap Frog Violet doll and the boy version of the same (can't remember his name)...that's what we've got so far.

 

Halloween we are going to get the boy monster and girl monster from the childrens place.

Christmas- we've gotten a few things, I got some summer clothes to wrap on clearance at old navy. We got the backgardigans DVD and also Yo gabba gabba DVD, a puzzle, and two art smocks so far. We are going to get a double sided easle, and paints, chalk, paint brushes, etc for them. I also want to find Crazy Coupe cars on craigslist, and if I find anything else that I like on Craigslist I'll probably snatch that up as well.

 

I do not think I will be dressing up the kids for halloween. Although my mom may change my mind...

For christmas I am getting them a play house. clothes, booksand maybe another little toy each. Their birthday is Jan 4th, so I need to figure out something for that day too!

 

Halloween - I just can't see my kids tolerating a costume as such, so I just ordered two pairs of those glow in the dark skeleton pjs on Gymboree for 1/2 price - a black pair and a pink pair. I figure they can wear them for Hallowee, plus then wear them as jammies afterwards.

Christmas - undecided.

 

Nancy I think it's Tad We have him!

Halloween--We got amazing prices from The Right Start when they were originally going out of business. DD is a panda bear and DS is a dragon!

Christmas--Leap Jr. is on my list after seeing that post, not sure what else yet but I know I'll have a list come Christmas!

 

Halloween, we are thinking DD is going to be a bumble bee or tinkerbell and DS I have no clue

Christmas-I have most of there stuff on layaway!! Kitchen (just have to get extra stuff for it) I got the Fisher Price one) each got a magna doodle (less messy) DD got Fisher price doll house and DS got fisher price-barnyard...they got puzzles and clothes etc.....just got to get him a truck and her a baby doll

 

Halloween - Both Alexander and Anderson are going to be dinasaurs. We had a dark green dragon costume that came as a hand me down from my nephew and my sister found a light green dinasaur costume as well. My DH hates when the boys are dressed alike but I figure this will be the last year.

Christmas - I am terrible at find age appropriate gifts. I haven't even started to think about it yet.

 

I think we're going with Raggedy Ann and Andy for Halloween. Kitchen sets seem to be very popular for the Christmas/2nd birthday, but I've decided to hold off until 3 because then the changing table will be out of my dining room and I'll have room for a kitchen set!

 

ahab and moby dick. from hell's heart they stab at thee!

 

No idea for Christmas, but for Halloween I think we're going to dress them as a figure skating pair. There's nothing scarier to me than a brother/sister figure skating duo, right?
