Gillian and I have spent several hours checking out all the Children Costumes at Costumes4less.com. Whew, she had me looking at them all. They have such a wide selection to pick from I wish we had another little one, because omg I would have some fun shopping.

Don’t forget the adorable ones they have for the little girls, and this is nothing compared to all of them on their site.

Now for the bigger kids, they have even a wider range of Halloween Costumes to choose from.

As we were looking at all the different Halloween Costumes, Gillian was having a hard time picking because she liked most of them. Of course the final pick was Pebbles from the Flintstones. So this year Gillian will have a nice Halloween Costume instead of one that no one wanted from Wal-mart.

One great thing about Costumes4Less.com is they guarantee to have the lowest prices on the internet, and if you find a place lower they will match any competitor’s price and give you a 10% discount if you do!!! Can not beat that one.

Within the next few weeks I will be bringing you all a great giveaway as well as some discount codes to help you get your little ones some nice costumes.

Trick or Treats

Can you believe 2010 is over half way over? You know what the means right? It means it is almost time to get those kiddos dressed up for some good old fun. When it comes to getting a Halloween Costume we always end up waiting until the last minute. This is not a good idea and is not recommended. When we do this, Gillian always ends up with something that has done been picked up and thrown back a few times and no one else seemed to want it.

So this year we are looking sooner. I have been exploring the internet in hopes to find the perfect costume for her. So far I have found a few costumes she has worn before. Ah as the memories come back.

Her first year wearing a Halloween Costume she was a little cow, then a piggy, the blue care-bear, a princess, patchwork witch, a cow girl, a vampire, a bride, and I am sure she was a princess somewhere else in between there.

This year she has also been checking out the Halloween Costumes with me and she has her heart set on Pebbles from the Flintstones.

Because I can not wait until Halloween. I wanted to share pictures of my daughter that I took tonight. She is going trick r treating as a bride.

I was trying to get it to look clearer. I need me a super duper awesome camera, that will make my pictures look like they just came from a magazine.

Here is another with her blowing kisses.
