I have a pretty strict No Store-bought Costumes policy, which to be honest is only about 10% because I want to be original and 90% due to the fact that Halloween superstores CREEP ME OUT. They have a weird smell. And I always have this feeling that I’m going to somehow contract an STD if I go anywhere near the adult costume section.
Anyway.
The original plan for Maddie was to be the Chiquita Banana lady, complete with the fruit tower headpiece and the fancy blue dress.
It would have been ridiculous, right? I know. I love it.
So, in typical Morgan fashion, I waited until the last minute to get started on her costume and ended up absolutely nothing because I am a horrible mother. My mom came to the rescue with this adorable little giraffe costume (did you see the stuffed belly? HA!) and it was such a lifesaver. Maddie loved it.
The only thing is that when we tried to fit her big noggin into the head part of the costume, her face was all squished, she felt like she couldn’t move and she started walking all stiff. It was hilarious looking, but we couldn’t put her through that. Instead, she walked around with a huge stuffed giraffe head hanging off the back of her neck. This family aims for class.
She is soooo cute!!
adorable!
OMG! I love it! Abs0lutely adorable!
hahahaha..you are not a horrible mother!
She looks ADORABLE!!!!!!! Porbably more adorable without the hat on her head!
You guys are out of control! And, Maddie looks oh so cute!!!!
She looks adorable! And I will agree with you about the creepy Halloween costume stores. I don’t like them at all.
Adore it.
LOVE it. And actually – we saw zero giraffes around these parts this Halloween (just lots of monkeys)! So yay for originalityyyy! :D
I’m afraid I’m going to be a really bad baby costume snob… sigh. :( We made her costume this year and when I saw little girls that were like fairy princesses, I told my husband, “Let’s not let her dress so mainstream.”
She’s four months old.
Yes I’m serious.
even without the giraffe head she still looks adorable, love it and love how creative it is :)
Your mom made that costume? So cute
You should have posted a picture of her squished face (with the head piece of the giraffe) :-)
I can’t get over how CUTE she is! :) Even without the giraffe head.
Chiquita Banana Maddie would have been amazing! (if not a tad challenging for a toddler…fruit basket on the head and all)
But a cutie Giraffe is a great second option!
so cute! I love the little costume and the fact you can see her cute little face!
Super adorable. And I love that she’s eating her little fist in the second picture. That’s totally what a giraffe would do. :)
she is amazing! Ug, seriously, the kid is gorgeous!
Thank you!! ♥
She looks SO cute. No one in the neighborhood would know it didn’t fit they’d probably just figured that she hated the hoodie party. Kids are like that, then again so are some adults. She’s adorbs!
