Getting Ready!

Since Halloween is just around the corner, my son and I went out costume looking tonight. I usually have my costume picks for the family decided upon months in advance, but I don't think my choices are going to work this year.

For years I have wanted to do a Willy Wonka (1971) theme with my son as an Oompa Loompa, my bro as Wonka, my hubby as Grandpa Joe, and me as Violet Beauregard. But, I don't think it's going to work since I would have to put sooo much work into it. I would probably have to make my blueberry suit and then get together all the necessary pieces to make each of our outfits work. It's just not going to be possible. Oh well.

So, I think we are going with Star Wars this year. There quite a few costumes since Episode III just came out a few months ago. And my son is the perfect height for Yoda!!! Or he could be Anakin...I'm not sure yet. My hubby is talking about being Vader, Chewbacca, the Emperor, or just some Jedi knight...again, we're not sure! There are a lot of options for all of us, but it's all about how much we want to spend. I've found a Yoda outfit for $25, but that seems a little steep for just an evenings use. So now I am looking through eBay. I hope I find something soon since Halloween is only 42 days away!!! I'm soooo running out of time!

(Btw, can you tell this is my fav holiday?! Heehee!)
