For this week's Trendy Tot Tuesday, I thought I'd share with you our Halloween costumes from previous years!
Gretchen was 8 months for her first Halloween, so I didn't dress her up and take her trick-or-treating. Instead, we stayed home and handed out candy. I still remember her crawling to the door and being so sad when the children were leaving!
For her very first Halloween, I decided to make her a Dalmation puppy costume. 
I couldn't find puppy ears, so I used bunny ears, sewed the ears down, and glued on black sequins. I also added a loop of ribbon, so I could attach a hair bow to her ears.
Next year, she was a clown. I made her a tutu, added ribbon suspenders, and glued a flower to them. I also made her loopy pigtail bows, and for the pant ruffles, I just did a mini tutu that would slip around her ankles.
The following year, Megan had arrived, and I wanted to do matching costumes. We settled on Little Miss Muffet and her spider.
Gretchen wore tights with leg warmers, a pink tutu, a pink leotard, and my mom made her a white apron and white bonnet to wear.
Megan wore a super fun tutu made of black and purple tulle. I also added black marabou around the tutu for the legs. I put a kufi hat on her, and then I found a black foam spider web in Target's holiday craft section. I glued marabou around the foam web, added a spider, and attached it to a clip.
She was the cutest little spider!
In 2012, I took Gretchen to Princess on Ice, and she wore this Cinderella tutu gown that I made for her.
But, she was not Cinderella for Halloween.
Instead, she was Tinkerbell!
I let her wear tights and I purchased her shoes from the Disney store. Then, I created her tutu dress with a crochet top and green tulle. I bought her wings from the Dollar Tree.
Megan was a fairy as well. She was decked out in pink and orange.
Her tutu dress had a pink crochet top with a pink and orange tulle skirt. I bought her wings from the Dollar Tree as well, and then I embellished the center of them with feathers, butterflies, and flowers! They were completely over the top!
I think her wings were my most favorite part of her outfit!!!
I love that I've been able to make their Halloween costumes every year! This year, Megan is going to be a witch, and I've made her dress and hat. Addy will be a witch too, and has a little hat to wear. Gretchen decided on Princess Sofia, and she declared that I could not make her costume this year, because I might mess it up. So, I broke down and bought her a Sofia the First gown from the Disney Store.
What are your kiddo's going to be for Halloween? Do you make or buy their costumes?
