Congratulations on the new baby Brooke, what a sweet little peanut!
I loved the Bumblebee costume from the Transformers, I couldn't get any of my kids excited about that one.
I ended up finding a garden gnome costume at Walmart for $17 for Brockie. He thought it was Santa Claus and called it his "Ho Ho"
went around saying "Ho, ho ho!" The other costumes were a bit difficult. My daughter wanted to be a princess but lost half her costume in just the two day wait from purchase to trick or treat. My other son was a punk rocker but didn't want to wear it and scare all of the old people. My oldest son had the coolest costume a viking warrior since his name is Lief and the costume was to die for with fur and metal but did not come with the helmet (duh) so now I am trying to still get that helmet online so he has it for next year.
So we got through it here. They got a lot of candy and it's over for another year-thank goodness.
