Halloween is in the air

As soon as October hit the kids went right into Halloween mode. These pictures are from the beginning of the month. We have been sick for the past week and so my computer time has been limited.

These were the outfits for the day. No more plain old regular clothing. It's all about the costumes now.

And we can't forget masks. I found a book of masks in a free box last year. The book is from 1978, and I guess tear out had not been invented, because all the masks have to be cut out by hand! I know! Crazy!

They are awesome though! Jasper was the one who got the ball rolling on the mask idea. He had been looking through it all day pointing out his favorite ones. I finally got the hint and suggested cutting some out. I am so glad we did. This is Jasper rocking out to the radio with his gorilla mask and jedi costume. 

And Jai finally, who had finally settled on a mask. This was the only picture I could get before he rushed outside to play hockey.

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would share some cute children finds I have come across on Etsy, from the Etsy Kids Team. Click on the link below the photos to view more items from these shops:

Pink Stripe

I love the t-shirt tie look, and this one is especially cool. Having three boys, it's always nice to find some great boy clothing.

For the Love of Zebra

Seriously! Doesn't this just make you smile! I find it so cute and happy looking.

Embroidery Emporium

This is great frilly fun.

Beloved Bows

Ghouls totally rock!

Maddie Bees

This set is so rad! And there are more cool Halloween-ie sets to find in this shop.

Etsy is a treasure chest of fun and original items for Halloween! So if you are looking for something out of the ordinary, I would suggest searching Etsy, and you can start with these wonderful shops:)

I have a few items in the works for halloween, and can't wait to share them with you!

We have some ideas for Halloween costumes this year, though if you ask me right now I couldn't tell you what they are. It's always fun to search the internet for fun and creative ideas too.

Here are some ideas I have Pinned so far:
