Halloween costume dilemma.

I haven't dressed up for halloween for A LONG TIME. To be honest, I don't remember the last time I dressed up for Halloween. This year, Jeff's work is having a Halloween party AND if I'm gonna dress Elea up and possibly use her child status to get some candy, we should probably dress up to.

BUT

I have zero ideas. Jeff mentioned a smurf costume for him which would involve blue body paint and white spandex. . . hence this desperate cry for help.

I was thinking of a fairy costume for Elea but Jeff wasn't a big fan of the idea. Our brother-in-law justin suggested dressing up elea as an 80's aerobice instructor with the sweatband and poofy hair. If I could get my hands on a pair of white princess high top reeboks and spandexshorts with a thong leotard to go over them for her-- it might be a possibility. But then again-- wouldn't a bunny or some other cuddly animal be a lot sweeter?

Haha! That is halarious! So I have a really cute costume that Rylee wore...she was only 4 months old. She was a CUTE ladybug! I would go with a sweeter costume for her but as for you and Jeff...I am at a loss for words. I guess you better do the Smurfs! haha

There are a ton of cute baby costumes that you can just buy but my neighbor and I came up with this idea because we saw a adorable tutu, anyways, she is making her daughter a black tutu and putting her in a black onesie and making her a black cat. I think that is really cute, easy, and you can make it. Then you can be a witch and Jeff can be something to go with a witch, I don't know what. A bat, vampire, I don't know.

Hey girl. I like the 80's idea but that would be more fun when she is older and can bust out some aerobic moves! I like loris idea. I don't know who lori is but I like her! You can make her the cute tutu too! Have a good one

Hey there stranger....I have a ladybug costume for 0-9 months if you want to borrow it! Elea's hair is cracking me up! She is getting more and more darling! How fun for you to go for Alex's blessing!

I will make sure to be in town. Let's just make a plan to see each other right now. AWESOME...it's in my blackberry. ;)

With that hair, she's CLEARLY meant to be a punk rocker.

you have to utilize her hair. the 80's thing sounds hilarious...you and jeff could dress up like that too! you need to get a leotard (however you spell that) that has a thong! ha ha ha and put jeff in a cut off mid-drift t-shirt!!

I like the monkey the best. Although i was a lamb for like 3 years when i was little. My mom made the costume, it was awesome.

I have a super cute chicken costume that Livi wore. It even has orange tights. I'll show you when you come up - if you want it, it's all yours. :) But I still vote for the instructor.
