As you all know, my girls are little, at ages 1 and 4 {mostly for the 1 year old} I can pretty much get away with dressing them up in the costumes I think are cute. Miss A definitely has her input, but can be swayed for sure, as long as the costume is cute and girlie.
Last year the girls dressed up as Snow White and her, {ahem} poison apple. Baby C was a cute poison apple for sure though. See:
Adorable girlies 
I loved that they were themed too, and so did everyone at the parties we attended and houses we stopped at. The girls got lots of, “ooooohs” and “ahhhhs” and “Oh my goodness, they’re too cute” ‘s. I loved it. And this year while both of them are somewhat agreeable I decided to pair them up again.
Miss A has agreed, {and actually is excited} to be Toy Story’s own Lil’ Bo Peep, and Baby C will be her sheep. I am still deciding on which sheep costume I want for Baby C, but here is Miss A’s costume from http://www.childcostumes.com and one I think is cute for Baby C too. What do you think?
We were completely satisfied with the quality of the costume. I really like that the costume came with a cute shepherd’s crook to complete the outfit. Once Miss A put the costume on she did not want to take it off, but alas I convinced her. I love that fact you can layer with long sleeves or take off the pants depending on the weather outside, because sometimes, depending on what area you live in you can’t tell if it will be warm or cool. One thing to think about when purchasing costumes it that this Halloween costume, and most costumes, do not come with shoes, which is not a big deal since we have a couple pairs of plain black shoes that will coordinate nicely. Also a small note our pants ended up being a little long on Miss A but nothing a little rolling won’t help, plus when in doubt I always say go with a bigger costume than smaller because it’s easier to make alterations.
I also love it when whole families dress up in a theme too, I tried to get DaddyB to dress up as DJ Lance Rock from Yo Gabba Gabba a couple of times, but he just wasn’t having it. Maybe in a few years he’ll warm up to the idea.
What themes have you dressed your children or family up as?

I received a costume from http://www.childcostumes.com in order to complete this review. My opinions in this post are my own, honest opinions. Yours may vary.
I love the sheep costume! So cute. I’m looking for something for my infant son. Something warm and fluffy. Any suggestions?
I love dressing them up in themes! My 4 yo chooses what she wants and so does my 2yo. The only themed outfits we have is Wizard of Oz, we will see if this works LOL
Love love love themed costumes!!! My oldest is now 5 and has started becoming a little more opinionated about exactly what she wants to dress up as for Halloween. I was a little disappointed when she insisted on being a unicorn this year. However, I decided that my love for the theme wasn’t fair to not allow her to be what she really wanted to be. So I agreed, and assumed my themed Halloween’s were coming to an end. Shortly after my 3 year old expressed her desire to be a Carebear!!! Perfect! Unicorns and Carebears go wonderfully together! I enjoy dressing up with the kids as well, so I will be a cloud
I highly recommend joining the fun and coordinating the outfits together. The kids love it!
Great idea and way to go with the flow Leslie!! Thanks for sharing.
OMG the poison apple thing might be the cutest idea ever!
Can my daughter get the “hand-me-down red dress” once you’re done with it? LOL. It’s absolutely adorable!!!
Thanks, it’s actually a Christmas dress, and I figured instead of just wearing all red that she should be a little more dressy
Too cute for words! Enjoy it all while you can still decide on their costumes. Not happening in our house any more!
