After a busy summer and a hectic back to school season, the Powell Pack is cleaning house and making room for Santa?s sleigh! Just in time for trick-or-treating, we’re giving away some of our favorite costumes from Halloweens past. Oh…the memories as I look at each of these. I miss my littles being so small, but I know these costumes will go to good use!
Okay, so each costume is shown in the pictures below with a coordinating number. To win:
1. Simply comment with the costume number you would like to win.
2. Post your favorite tip to ward off the temptation for Halloween sweets in the comments below!
Winners will be chosen randomly and? announced on Sunday, October 18th, right back here in this post. Good luck!!
*Apologies in advance, I don’t have exact sizing for these, so hopefully sharing how old my kiddos were when they wore them will give you an idea of sizes!
- Ruby’s DIY Spider Costume (as seen here!):- 6-12 months
- Tootsie Roll Costume: Marley wore this for her first Halloween when she was just a couple weeks old!
- Yellow Angry Bird Costume: Cash wore this last Halloween at age 3
- Pirate Costume: Matix wore this 2 years ago at 8 years old. For sizing, remember he is tall!
- Pirate Costume: Marley wore this at age 7.
- Option for both Pirate Costumes
- Incredibles Costume: Matix was 6 at the time.
- Incredibles Costume: This one was mine, I typically wear an adult small.
- Incredibles Costume: Marley apparently decided to make hers into Daisey Duke’s after Halloween…take it or leave it! Ha! She was 5 when she wore the costume.
- Incredibles Costume: This costume was Chris’, he is usually a medium/large.
- Option for complete family set of 4 costumes (as seen here!) – Sorry, Cash’s was homemade and I have no idea where it ended up!
Alright guys, start commenting now!
Xoxo,

#11 we make animals out of our fruit so no need for candy the kids love making things with fruit some of them are quite good to be fair haha xx
#11
We let the kids eat what they want on Halloween night then they dump the rest into a “potion” bowl. The next morning the witch has turned all the candy into a toy or something special. My kids are young so we can get away with this they love it! I may have to start getting more creative soon 🙂
#11 we take ours to dentist office and donate it to other countries. The kids receive money and use to purchase gifts for xmas.
#11! With 3 kids, it would be perfect! We try to pick out a few favorites and donate the rest. Local dentists buy back candy as well.
#11 we let them eat as much on Halloween then we go to the local dentist and trade it in! Also I don’t give out candy I go to the dollar spot at target and give out toys.
#11 I buy candy that the family doesnt like so it takes temptation away 🙂
#11.
They can only have one candy a week and I usually end up throwing the rest out after a couple months.
Number 11. We have a advent type calender and children are allowed one per day
#11. Allow an occasional piece earlier in the day when I’m too busy to eat a whole bowl of candy. At night, place a lovely bowl of fruit on front of it. If nothing works, brush your teeth as soon as you start craving.
#11, it would fit our family perfectly! We let the kids eat candy Halloween night and then put it in a big bowl and let them choose one piece a day after. I may or may not have candy a year old in my pantry! ??
