What I'm really missing right now though, are the super cute, super affordable, super soft and durable HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!!!
We've purchased quite a few over the years and we've never been disappointed.
Two years ago Max decided he wanted to be a pirate for Halloween. CHEAP AND EASY!!! I'm thinkin'. He's already got a hat, a patch, the swords...

All he needs is a vest and maybe a red and white striped sash!
So I head to Jo-Ann's thinking for once I'll attempt a sewing project. I find a pattern for a pirate costume. It's $17.99. WHAT THE...?!?!?! It's a PATTERN! I still have to do ALL THE WORK!!
Needless to say, I didn't buy it.
A few days later, discouraged, I head into Old Navy for something else and find a pirate costume. It's $24.99 and it's the cutest thing you've ever seen.
We still have it and Max still sports it on a bi-weekly basis.
In fact, we still have ALL of the costumes we've purchased at Old Navy over the years. Most were purchased on sale after Halloween (A few for as little as $5) but they've been the best quality, cutest, softest costumes I've ever purchased.
Sammy the Monkey and Gabey the Lion were two of my favorites, but Max's pirate costume has gotten by far the most use! (I have a really cute Froggy costume saved that'll fit Gabey perfectly this year...YAY!)
Thank you, Old Navy, for providing adorable, well designed, good quality costumes!!!
(Except for maybe the Elephant costumes. They might need a re-design as it was pointed out to me that they are slightly, um..., phallic in nature. Other than that though, you're doing GREAT!)
All the rest of you, since I'm here and you're there, do me a favor and buy your kids an Old Navy costume this year!
Happy Halloween!!!
*Of course you all realize I'm exaggerating. Candy is OBVIOUSLY the best part of Halloween...!
