Top 10 Halloween Costumes This Year!

in Lifestyle on 10/29/18

My “babies” don’t need my input on Halloween costumes anymore.  Sigh.  Who told them they could grow up so fast?  As much as I miss helping them plan for the big night and play dress-up, one thing I don’t miss is the last minute costume change.  My girls were famous for it! I can’t tell you how many times we’d have that costume all sorted to perfection only to be faced with a nuclear Halloween MELTDOWN three hours before it was time before trick-or-treating.  I’d have at least one kid sulking or crying because they didn’t want to be a Cheerleader, they wanted to be….a Princess, a Football Player, a Minion, a Skyscraper.  Insert your own nightmare! (and yet, I still miss it – go figure)

If you’re still on the hunt for a costume (or want to have a backup outfit ready to roll) – here’s a list of the hottest costumes of the year as ranked by Google.

  1. Fortnite costumes
  2. Superhero including Spider-Man, Harley Quinn, Dead-Pool and Wonder-Woman
  3. The Incredibles
  4. A Unicorn
  5. Dinosaur
  6. Witch – a classic and still my favourite to see at the door.
  7. Pirate
  8. Princess – Disney Princess’ still reign supreme.
  9. Clown – Um haven’t we all had enough of killer clowns.
  10. StarWars – Anything StarWars

Honourable Mention for creative and newer ideas goes to:
*Riverdale Characters
*Eleven – don’t forget your Eggo
*All things ABBA
*A Cosmic Fairy
*Zombies of the Walking Dead and Cheerleader variety

And – yes it had to be added- Donald Trump.

Have you got your family sorted for Halloween this year?

Happy Halloween!

      I’m not one for dressing up at all but naturally my grandkids are big fans and love Halloween. 🙂

      My co-worker wore a Fortnite costume this year. I had no idea who the character was as I am out of the loop in the gaming world.

This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale.

All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
