I love a good family Halloween costume. So this year I was on the hunt for something bump friendly and a costume for our son he could get more wear out of.
While I loved our Superhero costumes from last year, I quickly realized that the costume for our son would be a one time wear. We already have a Melissa and Doug construction worker outfit that our son loves so adding this firefighter costume to our collection was an easy sell.
The firefighter dress up outfit from Melissa and Doug comes sized for ages 3-6. Our son is two so we have quite a few years of dress up ahead with these. Plus he is super into fire engines and the sort so he was pretty happy when we pulled out his new costume this weekend to take some pictures.
To make this a family costume I pulled together some simple dalmatian costumes for my husband and I. Brent did roll his eyes a little this year about our costume. I suppose not the most masculine! But he was a good sport!
I purchased some black and white felt and headbands from the craft store. I hot glued the ears and then used gold safety pins for the spots on our shirts.
Here is a our little firefighter in action. He's not as big on smiling for pictures these days - so these candid shots show a little more of his genuine excitement.
These ones I like to caption as him already bossing around his little sister!
Earlier this month my parents were here visiting and my husband and I were able to take a few glorious nights away for our anniversary. Of course when we came home, grandparent spoiling had been in full force! They bought him a motorized fire engine! He completely loves it and it worked out well that we could also use it for some photos!
We have a fun little street near us in our small town that puts on quite a big trick or treat event. We are looking forward to seeing our son take in the whole celebration. Though he does know a bit more about candy this year so that will be an interesting new parenting experience to tackle! Hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween!
