Halloween Costume Review

We have Harry Potter fever around here - major Harry Potter fever!  I. is on the 6th book, G.is having the 3rd read to him.  The both of them play Lego Harry Potter on the Wii and are forever building legos and playing.  M. always chooses to be Luna Lovegood because she has blond hair.  We've watched the first 2 movies and although they want to watch more, I'm skeptical.  The first two were a bit scary.  Tom and I are planning on watching the final one this weekend (finally).   All in all, as a family, we LOVE Harry Potter!


I had the opportunity to review a costume and knew right away which one we wanted.  There were so many Halloween Costumes to choose from - the selection really was incredible!  We eventually chose the Deluxe Gryffindor Robe Childrens Costume and I am so pleased.  It is plenty warm for those chilly Trick or Treat nights and it looks perfect!  It is well made and we'll have this robe around forever!


 

As the mother of 2 daughters, I'll leave you with one of my favorite J. K. Rowling quotes:"I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny - a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls." – J.K. Rowling

PS - my daughter made her wand with a wooden skewer and a pipe cleaner - always creative, that one!

The costume looks great, but that quote really got my attention. What a great mom she must be to her daughters! (As you are , of course!)
