This Halloween, I neglected the halloween stores and went with what we already had. This was a mistake, because what we had was a ninja costume that was about two sizes too small. By the time I discovered this fact, it was too late to go shopping and get one that fit. So Sage had about two inches of skin showing on his lower legs, and the ninja costume was just a bit tight.

So next year, we are going to be prepared. Not only are we going to get a new costume for Sage, but we are going to get one for me as well. I want to go as Captain Jack Sparrow. I don’t care if I’m female, I have a thing for his hair. I was inspired by looking at the costumes over at SomeCostumes.com, where they not only have some great costumes, but some cool wigs as well.

The thing is, my husband may not be thrilled about the Captain Jack Sparrow costume. If that proves to be the case, I’m going to go with an animal costume. I like the penguin. I like it a lot better than the sexy costumes that require five percent body fat. It looks warm, too.

If you head over to the site, make sure you read the safety tips! You’ll probably also get some great ideas for next year while you’re there.
