It's that time of year again...

Time to start planning Ben's Halloween costume. He LOVES the thought of Halloween. He knows that every year he gets to hold the orange pumpkin bucket and people randomly throw candy in it. (I love it because I'm a sugar-holic and I weed through the candy I "know he wont like/can't eat". )

Last year was a struggle to find a costume. You can't put Ben in anything that requires a hood or a hat. He wore his hat briefly last year but only because his hands were so busy with the candy bucket that he didn't seem to mind so much. You also cannot have a mask or require any paint to be put on his face. Two years ago I made him into Mickey Mouse and at the end of the night he had black makeup smeared across his face. They no longer looked like whiskers.


From Halloween 2010 with Ben's cousins.

 Ignore the man hiding behind him..it's hard to get him to stand still. 

The few minutes the hat was actually worn...

I'm back on the hunt for this years costume. The choices are limited, and honestly, I've thought about him re-wearing the Marine costume because it still fits and only people in Arizona really saw him in it and we'll be in Kentucky for this years festivities. 
But for your viewing pleasure I've found a few other costumes on Amazon that I found hilarious and would NEVER be able to get on Ben subject my child to wear. 

Everyone loves a super hero! Getting Ben in this costume would involved tranquilizers (for both of us). 

My husband would be all over this one. I really hope that's not a real knife. 

Everyone loves a patriotic boy! Can you imagine putting a child with major sensory issues in a wig and 3 piece suit??  Plus it's 69.99! I think he actually looks a little pissed in this outfit. 

No child picked out this costume. You know his parents are totally behind this. I would totally pay to see this.
