I think that there are two types of people in this world. Those that go all out on Halloween, from decor to multiple costumes, and those like myself who cringe at the thought of a $40 Elsa costume and literally wait until the last minute to throw something together. Last year, the handmade Cabbage Patch wig & dress for my daughter went out the window at the 11th hour and she ended up as a spider witch, my son a tiger. This year, I’m hoping for a joint venture. Here’s my list of costume ideas for siblings or friends, please note I’ve avoided most of the “obvious” Disney characters!
