Halloween is fastly approaching, and I am attempting to figure out what the girls will be since I will only be able to for a few years. After that, I am sure they will let me know what their choices are.
Last year, Bea's costume was, of course, a bee. It was a given. This year I'm struggling with what is going to be good. I have to take into account that the girl loves to run around, get dirty and cannot be resticted with any obtrusive ornaments. Nor will she wear ANYTHING on her head. The two ideas I have are a pretty princess witch seen here or a princess that you can see here. They both have hats, yes. I'm not sure what to do. I also like this little red riding hood one. Please, if you have some ideas or have seen anything cute, please pass it along. And, no, I don't want to make her Dora. The one costume that is available is super expensive and looks as though they just paired some orange shorts with a purple shirt and included a wig.
As for Olivia, it's a whole different story. Talk about the cuteness factor...I am having a hard time deciding, so I'd be curious to see what some people think. The choices are: a pony (view it here), a flower (view it here), a pink octopus (view it here), or probably my most favorite, Princess Leia (view it here). I could probably list about 20 more that I like for her, but I have to think that it is a possibility that she may be crawling, so I have keep those legs out where they can move. We had that issue with Bea's bee costume last year.
Oh, this one has got to be cutest thing I have seen in my life.
So many choices, and only 45 days to go....

Very cute choices! Princess Leia will keep Olivia quite toasty in the ears. :D
Have you checked out Old Navy's selection? Their costumes are marked down already... guess they're not as hot as last year. There some cute ones... mermaid, monkey, a princess (of course). If not, you could also get Bea and Olivia some monster feet. ;)
Princess Leia - DO IT!
princess Leia for O and typical princess for B, yet right now at home she's acting more like the witch!
Oh man, that Princess Leia made me laugh for a few minutes! I like the princess witch, although it is a strange combination.
Why can't Olivia be an olive since Bea was a bee? :)
My very first idea was to make her a green olive, but I forgot to mention that in my original post. I couldn't find one anywhere, but there are sites that show you how to make one. I don't have that much time on my hands, unfortunately.
I agree with Todd. Olivia is an olive -- that's a requirement. Bea? I say, make her a Beatle. John Lennon maybe. Or even a beetle. Maybe a 1948 split window ragtop beetle. :)
Happy Halloween! BTW, they celebrate Halloween here from the first weekend before Oct 31 to the first weekend after Oct 31. You can actually see people walking around in costume on November 2. Totally incorrect celebration of Halloween, if you ask me. They have bastardized it!
