October is officially here and you can bet Halloween + Halloween costumes have been on our minds. 🎃I ask our littles what they want to be for Halloween starting November 1st, literally the day after Halloween every year (kidding).

Making Halloween costumes has been a tradition in our family since our oldest was 2 years old. It took me a bit to get motivated and inspired in the realization that “Ooooh I can make that, hold on … I can create my sons ENTIRE Halloween costume” lol…

WHOOOOOAAAA!
STOMP.
STOMP STOMP.
This year just like every other year I started casually asking our boys what they wanted to be for Halloween around August. In August they wanted to be super heroes, in the beginning of September they wanted to be musicians, then we watched The Greatest Showman and the dancing, singing at the top of the lungs and jumping off the couch stunts filled our day to day life. Yes, I also joined in the dancing, singing and jumping off of the couch — hello?! I could totally have been an acrobat.
KID COSTUMES : BLUE ANGELS FIGHTER JET PILOTS ✈️
We definitely get into costume picking and creation in our house. I love to include our kiddos in the whole process: choosing what to be, shopping for materials and making whatever it is that we need to make together, that's what makes it so fun! It's something we've always done and I plan to continue making it happen as a family tradition!
This year, when I asked our boys: "What do you want to be for Halloween?" The answer from our oldest: "JET PILOOOOOTTTTT" was instant. It was followed by a mini (and oh so adorable) "PILOOOOTTTTT" from our littlest little. Then they both screamed: "BLUE ANGELS JETSSSS VROOOM VROOOOOM" and they ran around making jet noises with their arms spread in the air like jet wings.
So there you have it, that's how these costumes came to be! We started hunting for clothes and accessories, and lastly making the props come to life.
I really thought that making one costume look like a vintage air pilot and one look like a modern little hipster pilot would be fun! You can find the costume details below! We hope you have so much fun choosing and/or creating costumes with YOUR kiddos! All Kids are Gifted wishes you a super fun and safe Halloween loves! 🎃❤️
