Etsy Halloween Finds

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays but not because I'm into scary, gory stuff.  It's quite the opposite. I'm such a scaredy cat that I can't even watch a preview for a horror movie without frantically searching for the remote while covering my eyes (I told you I'm a scaredy cat)!

It's the creativity and fun things to do for the season that I love.  I love decorating, going to pumpkin patches, carving pumpkins and dressing up.  Halloween is even better when you have kids because it's such an imaginative time for you both to share. I've been having so much fun looking at costumes for Bishop and I found some adorably creative things for Halloween on Etsy.  Take a look and get inspired!

I want to have a girl just so I can put her in this tutu from Sweet Life In The Valley.

These Cowboy & Knight Onsies from Willing Hands Crafts are all boy and a steal for $11!
