Then Jack developed a mind of his own where Halloween costumes are concerned and is now INSISTING that he will be a ghost. I know, I know how easy is that??? Just get a sheet and cut some eyes in it. I can't sew at all, even cut uniform circles in a sheet. I am pretty sure you can't wear a ghost costume to school (if they allow costumes at St. Thomas at all) so we still need something else to wear to school and I am still holding out hope that Jack will give up the idea of being a BORING ghost!
I suggested a skunk, Jack suggested a ghost. I looked at the skunk costumes anyway. To bad I don't have a dog.
So, at this point I am on the hunt for a non-scary ghost type costume. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
Maybe Chuck Chuck will have to be my little jockey next year!

I love the jockey outfit..very cute. The skunk is too.
Good Luck, and I'll keep my eyes for a cool ghost.
I sooooo totally feel your pain! Costumes suck this year! I think Calvin and I have decided on his... it's a surprise. But, he really wants to be a ghost... and I sooo don't want him to be! To entertain him for awhile, I got out an old crib sheet and cut eyes in it and now he can be a ghost at home. :-)
Good-luck with the Halloween Costume Hunt!
Hi!
Sounds like you and I are on the same sheet of music w/ the cool Halloween costumes. I try to do something out-of-the-ordinary for my boys...but like your son, my oldest now has an opinion of his own and proclaimed very early on that he wants to be a Jedi knight...not just any Jedi -- MACE WINDU! (Samuel L. Jackson plays him in Episodes I, II, and III).
I had enough stray costume pieces around from previous years to do the tunic and pants and boots, I made a brown Jedi cape a couple weeks ago, and they recently started selling toy Lightsabers in Purple, Mace's color. So Jake is done this year -- and he'd better not change his mind!
I offered to shave his head, since Mace is bald, but that freaked Jake out a little. :-)
Timmy wants to be R2-D2...this will be tough because they only sell baby R2 costumes. I'm looking at getting a cheap white bullet trash can and going from there.
As for your son being a creative ghost, might I suggest he maybe be Casper? The "friendly" Ghost, right? I wonder if you could find something vintage on eBay?
Good luck to you!
Oh my. I am laughing out loud at the jockey comment from the Farley's. Good to think about Newton humor so far from home.
Sarah, I saw Tom Arma skunk costume available for Lg 4T/5T on halloweenexpress.com. That is the biggest size, probably too small. Just FYI. :-)
It is probably very possible that the jockey is a Sarah Sez fan. You really are a bad, bad, man CFARLEY!!
I love Halloween Costumes. We are currently in the princess/mermaid phase. Last year it was Cinderella and this year we have been told pirate and mermaid. Not sure how I going to pull off that combo!
Jack is looking really very cute in this cool Halloween costume.
