At the beginning of this year I had grand plans to go as a family as the cast of Dora. Mary would be Dora, Noah would be Diego, Thomas as boots, Ian as swiper, and me as the lazy mom who eats all the kids candy while they run to the next house. I think that last character is in one of the books. Definitely read that somewhere. Anyway, doesn't that sound so cute?
But here is reality:
And here is the lazy parents' guide to Halloween costumes: open up the dress up bin and let it explode on your kids! It's especially nice if, like us, your dress up bin is really just a card board box where you've thrown past Halloween costumes (when you actually went to once upon a child and bought your kid someone else's old costume) and clothes people have given you that you didn't really think were outfits, but didn't know what else to do with.
I am pretty excited for the return of the skunk though! I actually bought that costume new (from gap clearance center with a gift card...but still) when Mary was a baby. Good luck with your costuming!

Taking the same approach over here! Of course Owen wants to dress up in the same costume as last year :)
