This year we decided that Owen would be the Tin Man, since he needs a new heart! Besides, how could he not look adorable in this platinum getup?
We had to do some convincing on Kamryn to be Dorothy this year, but she is now sold on the idea. I started my eBay search for the perfect Dorothy costume only to find that she's outgrown the kids costumes and the adult costumes are nothing short of Hoochie! Since when did Dorothy wear a bustier and thigh highs? After searching long and hard, we found this adorable Tween Dorothy that will be perfect for Kamryn!
I usually buy my kids used costumes on eBay in September, the early bird catches the best deals. Then I wait until the first week of October to list my kids old costumes for auction. I usually make out pretty even. This year, the costumes were brand new for 2009.. lucky me, full price!I'm off to search for the perfect Momma scarecrow, since my hair resembles curly straw and we're trying to convince Daddy to be the cowardly Lion.
Oh how I LOVE this time of year!

My kids were Dorothy and Toto last year! This year my one year old is going to be Yoda, but I can not convince his six year old sister to be Leila. :(
absolutely adorable! Wish I could open the door and see that. :)
CUTE costume ideas! You are seriously the cutest mom. Ohh how I bet my kids wish they had a mom like you! So glad to see Owen doing so well! I delight in his huge smile :) He is a lucky man to have such a great family.
You guys are going to be awesome! I love that Owen is going to be the tin man...that's so cool!
I know what you mean with Kamryns costume...I noticed a couple of years ago that the teen costumes were way too risque.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Wow - these are great costumes! You've inspired me to start thinking about Halloween costumes for my three kiddos, which I usually end up leaving until a week before the big day...hmmmmmm...
Oh man! Why didn't I think of tin man! :) He is going to look so adorable...and she will too!
Very cute ideas!
Too cute! We are going to have a cute little 7 month old skunk in our house! Not sure what we will be yet. Too hard to decide.
How cute, creative too...can't wait for the pictures after Halloween!
When Jace was 2, he was Toto and I was Dorothy, it turned out so cute, my mom made his dog costume. If you have trouble finding a good scarecrow, my good friend dressed as Glenda the Good Witch and wore an upside down lamp shade on her head (spray painted in pink glitter of course) and an old poofy prom dress. It was awesome, you even have the golden locks for it!!! Have a great time costume hunting :)
I'm an idiot. the lion needs courage...shoot...well, Owen certainly has a lot of that.
I've always wanted to do the Wizard of Oz with my family.
Adorable! Now if only I could convince my daughter that she DOESN'T want to go as a Teletubby ... :)
I can't wait to see pictures. I love this time of year as well.
I got a Tin Man charm for my mother's bracelet on our first trip to San Fran.
Its the perfect costume!
Oh man, you totally stoll my idea! Me & the boys were going to do the Wizard of Oz! I think Owen will make the perfect Tin Man! I'm glad someone is excited for fall! :)

So cute. The Tin Man is perfect for Owen, and Kamryn will make a fabulous Dorothy.
Great idea to get costume on ebay. I'll have to check it out.
