Halloween: Tis the Season to Trick or Treat!

Halloween comes only once a year and it’s one of the most celebrated holidays around. I love Halloween especially trick or treating. As a child I would roam the neighborhood asking for treats and going back round again just to be among the ghosts, ghouls and other wonderful characters.

Having 3 children makes Halloween a fun experience. Although I don’t do the trick or treating I do accompany my kids and have fun all the same. With my two eldest being in their early teens trick or treating has lessened. So when I had my youngest I was very excited at the prospect of going trick or treating once again.

I’ve found so many adorable costumes that it’s hard to decide. The top features that I look for in a baby costume are easy snap closures and skid resistant booties. Important things to consider when purchasing a costume for babies and toddlers.

This year there are a great many choices for kids halloween costumes. With the  release of The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman and Batman The Dark Knight Rises you can expect a lot of superhero costumes. Hulk seems to be a popular choice from The Avengers while a more beefed up Spiderman is also a favorite.


Monster High
has been a big  hit of late and the newest costume to come out is Abbey Bominable. Girls costumes are becoming more trendy and less traditional. There’ll be less princesses and more adventurous characters trick or treating this year.

There are some new animal costumes that are absolutely adorable. This Lil Characters Infant Monkey Costume is one of the new baby costumes for the year. More owl and dragon choices are also available for 2012.
