Halloween Costumes for Kids

Halloween is quickly approaching and my kids finally picked their Halloween Costumes.  They were unsure what they wanted to be but finally decided.  We don't tend to do really elaborate or extreme costumes, but usually something more simple you can pick up from the store.   Today I am sharing our easy Halloween costume ideas from over the years.

I will be starting with the newest and working my way back.

2016

A Rithmatist (Brandon Sanderson Book character), A Police Man, an Empress
Sadly, this was probably the last year my oldest dressed up, as he doesn't want to this year

Wow! What a trip down memory lane!  My kids have definitely recycled ideas amongst themselves, even sharing costumes over the years.  

Since my oldest isn't dressing up this year, it is a big reality of how fast time goes and of the different phase in motherhood I am entering.  Life goes fast.

What are your kids (or you) going to be for Halloween this year?
