Planning my son's Halloween mummy costume

Guest post written by Eloise Palmer

It's never too early to start planning for Halloween when you're a parent. I've learned from experience that you don't want to be the parent that doesn't have the right Halloween costume for your kid and has to buy whichever leftover costumes are still there. That happened to me last year and I thought that my son was going to never forgive me for it.
This year I asked him very early on what he wants to be for Halloween and he told me a mummy so I knew that I could finagle a really cool DIY costume for him. I looked online with my wireless internet Sacramento to find all kinds of ideas for it. I decided to take a combination of all of those costume ideas.

The kids DIY mummy outfit that I've been working on hard is really starting to come around.
I even dyed the fabric with coffee to make it look all old and weathered. I'm not finished sewing all of the wraps on my son's shirt and pants but I'm going to have it finished in time for him to wear to his friend's Halloween party.

It is not too early to be looking for halloween costumes. Is it? :-)

Star Wars Deluxe Luke Skywalker Costume Review

Last year we looked for a Micheal Jackson costume for Halloween, remember? Ok, he still loves M. Jackson(of course) but this Halloween he decided to be a Luke Skywalker!
We checked out boys costumes and he was seriously sure that Star Wars Deluxe Luke Skywalker Costume is the one:)

This cool looking costume comes in small, medium/large and features a tunic, pants with attached, brown and tan boot tops and a belt.





Boot tops are attached to the costume.
They covered his shoes very well.





He grabbed his lightsaber from his toy box and started to think about Halloween candies:) October 31st gets kids excited like no other holiday. Yeah they should be happy when Halloween festival gets closer and making a decision what costume to wear.

If you will buy costumes for a large family, take a look their site. They have wide variety of Kids Halloween costumes, men/women costumes. With $5 annual membership fee your savings add up. You also get discounted shipping rates.

When he was putting on his costume he asked me:

-Hey mom, do you know Luke Skywalker was raised in planet Tatooine?
What is wrong with me? Honestly, I've never really been interested in the Star Wars... and I've a boy:))
