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 would love to be the incredibles as a family. We give the kiddos a few of their favorite pieces of candy and then the rest we give to other kids .
#11 please!!!!
Our son gets to pick his favorite piece of candy the night he collects it and then the rest “disappears.” He’s only 2.5 so a little sugar goes a long way and out of sight = our of mind.
Love Love your idea of giving… if i won i would do the same….I have a nephew and his Lil Family That I would soooo give # 11 to:)
To ward off too much candy simply offer healthy alternatives and offer the candy as treats for good weekly reports from school, chores etc….
limit the # of candy they can eat
#11
Would love #10! I don’t have littles any more but both have grown up to eat pretty healthy on their own. They were more excited about the dressing up than getting the candy. Use smaller containers so they are excited about seeing it getting full but they don’t bring home as much.
Hi Heidi! I just love your vibe! So, I’ve got a family of 4 and we would LOVE to win “The Incredibles” family set.
How we shun candy is to not have it in our house as we lead up to Halloween. Post Halloween, we collect 20 pieces each that we absolutely love and we freeze them. Then they are there when we want a treat. As for the other candy, we take them to our school or church for donation.
Love #6 and #11. Our family loves disney and it would be great to having matching costumes for Disney and my son would love to be a pirate one year!
I give my son candy every once in a while but always encourage healthy snacking which is easy because I lead by example. If I’m not eating a ton of halloween candy neither will he!
Omg #11!!!! I’m all about theme costumes I would die for these!! And if I want to eat and shouldn’t I take a shower. Hard to eat food when its wet;)
#11 family costume
Oatmeal packed with cinnamon and walnuts is filling and helps keep me from digging into the kids treats!
I hope we win! As a national guard family it’s always about family an how we can be Incrdible together to make a strong unit!
