On a recent trip to the Costume Store...AKA Target...I found it increasingly difficult to find a costume appropriate for the wee ones that I call my children. Sure the sizes said 6x, 8-12, 4T, but I don't think I saw anything that resembled appropriate. For the boys, it was Pop Culture...Star Wars, Spiderman, The Incredibles, and all the accessories (that looking at the prices, should have been included). For Brenna, well we got her an adult sized costume so that all the important bits were appropriately covered. I thought that was a bit sad.
Maybe it's a personal belief, but I don't think that the word Sexy should be in a costume title for kids, but there was Sexy Cheerleader, Sultry Vampire, and my favorite...GoGoGirl, the Gogo dancer.
Maybe it's another personal belief, but seeing as Halloween falls the day before November, should there not be enough fabric to warrant no jacket without risking hypothermia? What is the point in wearing a costume if it is covered by a think parka?
And, one more thing...what happened to the awesome of homemade scary? I remember getting old sheets, rolling them in the dirt, tearing them and taping them all over my body so I could be an awesomely warm mummy that didn't need to wear a jacket to go trick or treating. Oh and I also remember the slits in the sheet as I went as a ghost another year. Heck, the kids looked at me as though I was mad when I threw on some make up and called myself a Zombie last year.
Where have the Halloween Spirits gone? I want my scary back.
Where are the "Sexy" maternity costumes????
