OK. So you totally dropped the ball. Halloween is here, and you’re likely stuck in one of two scenarios:
1) Elsa costumes are sold out in every physical store in a 60 mile radius around you.
2) She no longer wants to be Elsa, despite the fact that you drove to every physical store in a 60 mile radius around you.
Sound familiar? It’s the exact scenario I’m facing, and it’s the 11th hour. H-day is upon us!
No worries, mama. If like me and you’re not content to just scoot your kiddo out the door as a makeshift witch (for the 3rd year in a row), I’ve got you covered with these creative costume ideas that you can likely throw together with stuff you have around the house.
