We had 4 small Halloween dress up events…my eldest wore his one costume he chose and stuck with it for every event. My youngest picked something different for each and one hour before our actual trick or treat event she was beside herself that I didn’t have time to create her an entirely new outfit so she could be a dragon she saw a picture of in a book. Luckily the excitement of the party starting switched her gears and she happily threw on a Rapunzel dress, a costume that hadn’t even been mentioned the entire month. lol. We roll with it. And depend heavily on the costume bin and imagination!
Yes, a costume bin is full of treasure. We have utilized it in years past. Somehow, this year, everyone wore what was planned (with the exception of the sick kiddo, but he wore it around the house on Nov 1)
My guy was set on being a spider for Halloween this year and I was going to go as Miss Muffet (basically wearing a cottage cheese container as a hat. Because I’m lame) when I volunteer in his classroom party. Nope, now he wants to be a caterpillar. Cue in the last minute shopping for me. No butterfly costumes left. So I ended up getting random cat ears.

The last minute shopping can be a challenge. Caterpillar and a cat sound like a workable pairing to me.
Garden creatures featuring an outdoor (black) cat?
I think it's perfect.
