It's sneaking up

I can't believe it's almost here.  I know it's still the first week of October but this month flies by.  I've been wanting to do something creative for Cole's costume.  Usually I get so distracted by other things that by the time he needs a costume I get totally stressed out trying to think of something unique.  That usually ends with trying to find something on sale that actually fits him or running to the thrift store and crossing my fingers.  Being creative can definitely be less expensive but it takes PLANNING.  Something that I'm still working on. But seriously, where do some people come up with this stuff?

Can anyone guess what this is? I mean--obviously not the face...but that wig? Isn't that CREEPY?!! Isn't it kind of sad when your hairstyle is so well known that people use it as a Halloween costume? Actually--I guess that's how you know you're an icon (to someone).

This one just makes me happy.  I love the wrapper twist on the head.  Maybe I can force Cole to hold still so I can carry him around in this little Tootsie Roll costume..

That reminds me! Danny has a HILARIOUS story about when he was a kid that I want him to share on here.  Let's put it this way, it has to do with cotton balls, rubber cement and being a werewolf.  I'm smiling just thinking about it.


So, I need your help.  Where do you guys come up with ideas for costumes? I guess there are websites out there that I can look around at.  I need something inexpensive but cute.  And something that doesn't take any time.  Kidding.
