There are a few of DS1's costumes that DS2 could probably wear but I want him to have his own stuff. Costumes are already out at Costco but nothing jumped out at me.
I am tempted by this turtle costume though. OMG at the baby's face.

Out of all the costumes I've shown DD1 so far, she seems to like the unicorn costume from PBK the best.
We have an old monkey costume from DD1 that DD2 will wear. I figure that she doesn't know the difference yet in terms of a hand-me-down costume so I might as well take advantage of that. I'll probably get her a new costume next year.
DS wore this costume his first Halloween. Then DD wore it on her second. She was only 8 days old, so she didn't dress up her first year. I wouldn't have reused it just for the sake of being MM, but DS was an octopus that year, so they matched.
DS1 is going to be Spiderman. Any idea on coordinating costume for the baby?
I thought this would be a good question for my geeky H. He says "this is a tough one. He should either be another superhero from the same universe, like a baby Wolverine...? Or a tiny Captain America." I gave him a ^o) look, and he said, "As long as they're from the same universe, it works!"

DS is going to be a pirate & I think DD will be a fairy if I can find something easy &cheap to make...I have a really hard time spending $$ on costumes. I have had luck at the consignment store for costumes in the past.
DS1 has requested Woody the Cowboy from Toy Story which we already have. I have a monkey costume for DD, but if something else cute (and cheap) comes up I'll get it.
So many adorable options. I have to figure out something that a wiggly 9.5 month old can wear. I have no idea if she'll be walking/standing by then, which would totally change my game plan.
I just saw the Carter's costumes out at Kohl's yesterday so now I'm thinking of what she can be. Last year she was the Carter's ladybug. Not sure this year though, keep the ideas coming!

DS1 says he wants to be a panda bear, which is odd since he doesn't have a thing for pandas. DS2 might be a giraffe, although I did see a baby Elvis. It was cute/funny, but I'm not an Elvis fan, so probably not.

We're still trying to decide. Last year DS had the dragon costume from Carter's. Since he's still little and can't pick for himself (16 months) I want him to be something cute and cuddly still.
The last thing she told me sahe wanted to be was an ant eater (insert baffled smiley face).....but I am shooting for soemthing more mainstream. I made the last 2 costumes (bumble bee and itsy bitsy spider), and I said last yr I wouldn't do it again. I sort of want her to be Minnie Mouse bc we are going to Disney for her next bday, so she could wear it there too...
Family ideas/Side note - we got a ton of compliments on our family costume her 1st yr, she was a bumble bee, and we were bee keepers (disposable white paint suit, mesh on our faces, yellow rubber gloves). Super cute, and super easy!
