Last Minute Costume Ideas

By Melinda Larke - Cherry Valley Macaroni Kid Publisher and Editor October 26, 2017

Halloween is not my holiday!  I am horrible with costumes.  I am not one of those creative types that can come up with those cool, awesome, and funny costumes.  I can't craft or sew to save my life.  Those led to some pretty last minute pathetic costumes in my lifetime.  Once I had kids, I knew better and just buy costumes now. If you have yet to get your costume or your child's and need some ideas, I am here to help! 

Buy:

Grow With Me Boutique - This consignment store in Monroe still has the perfect costume for your child!
