Picking Out Your Child’s Costume Is Stressful

When your kids are young you get the opportunity for a few years to pick out what you want them to be for Halloween. You only get a few short years before they start having an opinion on what they want to be and if you have boys you only have a few short years before they want to be the killer clown or the guy from Scream. So the stress is really high on making sure the costumes for years 1-3 are super cute!

The days are slim when you don't have to ask "what do you want to be this year?" Once they are old enough to choose your window is closed and they will choose a different thing every day until two days before Halloween then you are scrambling to find exactly what they want.

There are two types of families in the world. The ones that plan out their joint costumes on November 1st for the next year or the ones who are st spirit Halloween trying to find bits and pieces of costumes to put together for their kids... I'm that one!

I luckily have a nephew who is the same age as our toddler and my sister is on top of costumes so she just tells me what to buy and when to buy it but this year we are stumped on what to make the boys be.

What is next for us? Wild Things and a Monster? Bill and Ted? Buzz and Woody?

Suggest what Roman and his cousin Bruin can be for Halloween this year!

Spooky season is quickly approaching! Woop woop!

With fall drinks and treats returning to menus and temperatures (finally) starting to drop, it's time to shift into fall mode. For those that partake in the festivities surrounding Halloween, we know that the most fun part of the holiday is picking out costumes and dressing up for the occasion. It's the one set day a year that you can be literally anything or anybody you want. It's always so fun to see the different characters everyone chooses and how they decide to put together their costumes. Some buy a full costume already pieced together at the store, and some make their entire costume from scratch. Talk about dedication.

Even more fun than choosing a costume for yourself is choosing one for your pet! Our pets are already the cutest little nuggets in the world. How could they get any cuter? I'll tell you how. Throw a fire helmet on their head. Heart. Literally. Melting.

A new survey from the National Retail Federation has revealed the most popular pet costumes for Halloween this year chosen by pet owners. After reviewing the list, it's no wonder why these are the top five. The cuteness overload is nearly too much for any human to handle. And while I was originally planning to dress my dog up in something more unique, these top pet costume ideas are making me second guess everything. Butch would look so cute in all of these!

The fireman costume is gonna be hard to beat this year, but these most popular pet costumes have inspired me and reminded me that it doesn't take the most originality in the world to conquer Halloween. All that matters is that you have fun with it, and that's exactly what Butch and I intend to do.

Without further ado, here are the most popular pet costumes for Halloween 2022:

It only takes a couple of pieces to put this costume together for your furry friend!

Any pet would look ADORBS as a cute little bumblebee.

If you can wrangle your pet for long enough to slide on the bat wings, this one is a sure-fire winner.

Okay. Butch might have to be a hot dog this year. Sorry, Butch.

My heart just skipped a beat. Cutest pumpkin in the patch!
