I know this isn’t about gardening, but with the cooler nights and my plants full of produce, I can’t help but look forward to October, and my favorite holiday Halloween! 

When husbands everywhere are dreading the day their wife comes to them telling them what form of humiliation they’ll take on this year for the family Halloween costume. Here’s the thing, those husbands that are willing to dress up in a ridiculous costume for the sake of their kids are actually the real heroes of the day. Halloween is about kids, families, and sugar. 

Instead of dreading the thought of dressing up like a giant marshmallow, embrace the costumes and create memories that will last a lifetime. Plus, if you’re lucky you’ll get to be the superhero you’ve wanted to be your entire life. Ok fine, you can be a storm trooper too.

This little Dorothy has a world-class support team behind her. This darling family costume is pretty easy to put together, even at the last minute. As long as Dorothy has her red shoes and ToTo by her side, you’re good to go.

 

Hopefully, you don’t have 101 little ones to dress up, but just in case you do, we’ve got the perfect costume idea for you. Mom gets a fabulous coat, all the little one stay warm in their puppy suits, and dad basically just needs a turtleneck and a fedora.

A circus theme is a timeless Halloween idea for families of all shapes and sizes. With the Greatest Showman popularity, you can bet this will be a crowd pleaser this year!  You can go old-fashioned circus like this one, or take a more modern approach. Either way, it’s a classic.
