I just had to post this video of the best children’s mech costume I’ve ever seen. Courtesy of Boing Boing.
Halloween Posts Just Won’t Die
Halloween Costumes Gone Bad

This post strays a bit from the baby / child focus of this blog… but what the heck. Variety is the spice of life, right? Anyway, you know those parents that let their kids wear Halloween costumes all year round? I dedicate this post to them.
Given Halloween is right around the corner I found this post over at Boing Boing particularly interesting and at the same time frightening. I suggest you keep the cow costume in the closet this year.
She wore the costume again when she appeared for sentencing.
… I’m just sayin…

Crack-Up Halloween Costumes For Kids
Time for another set of Halloween costumes for the kids around your house. I’ve managed to remember to bookmark a few that I stumbled across over the weekend.
Mullins Square Lobster Costume
This costume is pretty harmless… the standard “awwwwww so cute” baby costume. To take it a step further consider throwing some pillows in a large crock pot and using it as your baby’s cradle for the evening.
Princess Leia Baby Costume
Calling all Star Wars nerds… this costume will let you honour your favourite Princess while also providing a great photo opp for your infant’s early Halloween scrapbook. Sure to embarrass them for years to come, how can you go wrong?
Whoopie Cushion Baby Costume
This one seems all-too fitting. Frequently smelly baby and topical, flatulent whoopie cushion. Even without the requisite odour everyone will understand the humour here.
Terrifying Octobaby Costume
This one’s a little creepy, and made even more troubling by the use of a plastic doll in the photo. I recommend this one for the sci-fi parents out there. Dress your kid as a little cthulhu and revel in the inside joke.
Thanksgiving Dinner Turkey Baby Costume
Some may find it tasteless, but I proclaim this to be pure genius. Seriously. Whatever your family preference for meals around the holidays, consider dressing your children up to match the meal… I love this one!
