My mother retired last year from her job after twenty five years of service. She tells me all of the time that she is going to enjoy every minute of her retirement, and that is exactly what she is doing.

She is on the go so much that I can barely keep up with her. She called me a couple of days ago to see if I knew where she could get a really cute womans costume for a Halloween party that she was attending. I told her about a website online that I usually get my costumes from every year.

No for me, I’m more of a Princess Leia costume kind of girl. But for mom?? She really wanted a real Womans costume, not some little girl, size-nothing costume! That’s why I sent her to WomansCostume.org where they have both! Get something real, something substantial for the “real woman”, or if they want, get something slinky, something sexy. To each his own, as I always say!

My husband gave me the shock of my life when he told me that he was going to go to my best friend’s Halloween party with me. He even went as far as telling me to find out some good halloween ideas for couples.

I did not question his motives, I just hurried and found some costumes before he had time to change his mind. My husband is a History teacher, so I decided to look for some famous couples costumes.

I do not know what got into him, but I like it what ever it is. He is actually excited about the party, which is really something that I would have never imagined from him, and we’re both looking forward to going to the party together!

I can’t tell what it’s done for our relationship, so I highly recommend you make a date with your significant other. Have a little fun – dress up in some fun, maybe even sexy costumes, and have the time of your lives.

I tend to go all out for Halloween, because it is my daughter’s favorite holiday. She definitely takes after me, because it was also my favorite holiday when I was growing up. I want to make sure that she celebrates it safely.

With everything going on these days, I just don’t feel it is as safe for my children as it was when I was trick or treating back in . . . well let’s just say it was a long time ago.

So now to save a lot of trouble and time, I buy my kids costumes online. Then to make sure they are safe, I throw a big Halloween party for all of the kids on the block at our house every year.

My daughter has decided this year that she wants a Star Wars Princess costume.

She saw one on a website online, and she immediately knew that was the costume that she wanted. Her little friend saw the Star Wars child costume for Queen Amidala costume and just went wild!

Now I know my children are safe, but they are still having the times of their lives having a costume party with all of their friends and seeing all of the different costumes that everyone is wearing.

My husband has never liked to dress up for Halloween, but I finally talked him into it this year. He agreed to do it as long as I do not have him dressing up like a punk rocker.

I found a great little shop online that sells Avatar costumes, and I decided that it would be a great look for him.

I was shocked when he told me that he actually liked the costume. I hope that this is going to be something that he agrees to start doing every year, because it would definitely be a blast. The funny thing is, I found a really great avatar costume for me too! (see the one to the left!) Now we’re going to match, and we’re looking forward to our party together.

Of course the kids have no problem picking costumes, and when it comes to Avatar costumes, my son really liked the Jake Sully child costume.

If your husband is hesitant to go o a costume party, try to think of his favorite movie, TV show or other interest. I bet there’s a costume that would fit perfectly with whatever his interests are.

There are so many adorable costumes for babies these days that it makes it near enough impossible to choose one. Whether you have a newborn or whether your new born is a toddler there is definitely a great Halloween outfit for your child.

Some parents whom are fortunate enough to be able to stay at home; have the time and patience to create their own costumes for babies. This is particularly evident when it comes to celebrating Halloween and other festive occasions.

If you are like the rest of us parents whom are full time working moms and dads, then you will most likely be browsing for a babies halloween costume online.This baby bee bunting infant costume was the one that impressed me the most ,when I searched for costumes for babies online.

Why is this you may ask? Well its for a number of reasons: it resembles a baby bee; this costume opens up at the bottom to allow the parents to gain easy access to change their baby’s diaper.Plus it has room for your baby to wear additional clothes under the costume and still be comfortable if the weather turns cold.

This makes it a real winner for me. If you are one of those parents that loves to see your child dressed up in adorable costumes for babies at festive occasions such as Halloween; then take action ;and see whats available on my infant bumble bee costume website.

For many little girls, what they want to be for Halloween this year is a foregone conclusion. It’s simple, they want to be Dora the Explorer.

If your little girl or someone you know wants to dress up like Dora this Halloween, visit DoraHalloweenCostume.org for a complete selection of Dora costumes and accessories.

Dora the Explorer is celebrating her 10th year on television.

Who is Diego, you ask? Is it possible that you don’t know Diego of Nickelodeon’s smash hit, Go, Diego, Go!? Diego Marquez is an 8-year-old Latino and he is Dora the Explorer’s older cousin. Diego shares a love and passion, like his parents, for animals and nature. He is very energetic and athletic and will respond to any animal distress calls at the Animal Rescue Centre. With help from his high-tech gadgets and vehicles, and of course, viewers at home, he is always geared up and ready to head to the rainforest to rescue his animal friends. Diego has an 11-year-old sister, Alicia, and she works alongside Diego and their parents at the Animal Rescue Centre. Alicia is described as being a computer whiz, and she receives the animal rescue calls and communicates them to Diego via their video watches.

Diego never heads off to the field without his reliable bag, Rescue Pack. With one word, “iActivate!”, Rescue Pack can transform into anything Diego might need, for instance, a jet pack, a bike, or even a boat! On occasions when Diego has difficulty locating an animal in trouble, he will turn to a device called Click. Click is a telescopic camera that can zoom through the dense forest, and with help from the viewers, tries to match a sound to an animal. Once the animal is located, Diego is quick to provide aide, along with Baby Jaguar at his side. Baby Jaguar is very special to Diego, and even though he is a very young cub, he loves to explore and go on adventures with Diego. Some of Diego and Baby Jaguar’s animal friends assist them on their missions, like Tuga the sea turtle & Linda the Llama. Along the way, though, the Bobo Brothers, a pair of spider monkeys who are always up to no good, always seem to disrupt the peace in the forest. These troublesome monkeys, although they never mean to cause trouble for Diego, will set traps, cause mudslides, and break dams. The only way to stop them is to shout, “Freeze Bobos!”.

Did you know that Diego and his familia (family) have been helping to protect animals and preserve their environment since September 6, 2005, when the show first aired on Nickelodeon? That means the show will celebrate its 5th Anniversary this September 2010! That also means that Halloween is just around the corner. What young boy wouldn’t want to be just like his favorite animal rescue hero? I’ll bet he’d gladly throw Rescue Pack over his shoulder and bravely enter the Halloween night in any of the Diego costumes we have to offer! Visit DiegoCostumes.com to check out some great costumes for your adventurous little boy!

My four year old wants to be a “good fairy princess” for Halloween. I’m glad she is picking up on the idea of being good but I do not like her using the word fairy with her costume. My concern is that when you start thinking about fairies then that can lead to magic, witchcraft, supernatural, and all those types of topics which I’m totally against. I do want my daughter to have a good time on Halloween but want her to have the fun without all of the dark type of ideas that so many people associate with Halloween. Luckily for me she doesn’t want to be a witch as I would have to come up with a clever way to talk her out of that. I have been working with her to eliminate the “fairy” from her costume and just to go as a Good Princess.

For the most part I think that all the books and movies that involve a princess are typically the kind of good over evil that we are trying to instill in our children. I don’t see anything wrong with dressing up in a pretty dress with a pretty crown or tiara and pretending you are a princess. I have found a lot of really pretty princess costumes to choose from. There are lots of them that don’t need a magic wand such as Snow White, Princess Fiona and even Lady Diana. Of course, not too many four year olds know who Lady Di might be. I think I’m careful we can have a fun holiday and still feel like we are in keeping with our Christian Values.

Can elephants fly? Well, if you’re Dumbo you can! This Disney icon, almost 70 years old, is an emblem of wish fulfillment and the spunky American Dream. Against all odds, taunted and teased, with roadblocks on every path, Dumbo yet succeeds. It’s all about the classic rags to riches story, the underdog whose dreams literally soar.

Bill Tytla was the main animator for Dumbo, and based the animal’s child-like expressions from his two-year old son, Peter. As the mother of two little girls, I know first-hand the honesty of expressions and emotion. Everything they do is real, from the heart, and with no insincerity.

Watching Dumbo for the first time in years, I notice that the little elephant’s expressions are the exact same as I’ve seen in my kids – hope, joy, sadness, the sense of wonder when exploring new things. This is definitely the mark of a true artist. I almost feel that Disney was the same way, back then – the company, though their movies, seemed just as childlike, full of wonder as they charted new ground with animation and story techniques.

Children mimic these characters (I know I did!) and will often have a tickle trunk with some of their favorite toddler animal costumes. I remember receiving a Dumbo elephant costume after watching the movie for the first time and pretending I could fly with big ears!

In the movie, Dumbo doesn’t realize he is the object of ridicule and laughter, though he quickly realizes something is amiss. When his mother is ripped away from him, he is left alone, mistreated and with no “warm trunk” to curl up to. All he has is a mouse to help him through. Taking a leap of faith (and a magic feather), he realizes he can fly, and his source of embarassment, his ears, turn him into a majestic star.

As an adult, we often lose sight of our dreams as a child, or inadvertedly stiffle them our own children with our own cynisism of the world. Disney may not be the childlike business it once was, but they do understand how children see the world, and how the American Dream works – it often starts as a tragedy a kid can not quite understand – the loss of a parent, poverty, bullying and ridicule. But through hard work, perserverience and a little bit of magic (like a feather), anybody, elephant or human, can rise to overcome all.

Who would of thought that a whole new industry has emerged from party accessories? Gone are the days if you had a child’s birthday party and send a little handwritten invite out to their friends inviting them over to celebrate your birthday. That seems so old hat now! What about running into your local shop and buy up a plastic plain tablecloth a few plastic mugs, plates and cakes bags. And basically all that was left to arrange was the gift for pass the parcel and of course the birthday cake that would take pride of place in the centre of the table.

Today’s kids have themed birthdays, and depends on what is the flavor of the month is what the child will request for their theme. Some stay with the favorite Barbie or Little Mermaid Costume parties while the boys will do Spiderman, Avatar and Star Trek to name but a few. The theme though now spills over to the accessories and we are really spoilt for choice as now the plain plastic table cloth is replaced with colorful characters that they have chosen to mark their big event with, complete with matching plates, cups and just about anything else that you can think of.
