We have a slight obsession with Halloween in this house. It is not uncommon to start discussing next year’s costumes while we are trick-or-treating this year.

Almost every year, the entire family dresses up. Sometimes we coordinate and other times we just look like gang of various characters.

No matter what, the goal of Halloween for me is making memories. That is what this holiday is all about. I love seeing my children get creative and decide who they want to be for night. They get caught up in characters. Fall in love with costumes. This is what this holiday is all about. The candy is secondary and almost always forgotten about after a few days.

This is the second year that we have ordered our Halloween costumes from Chasing Fireflies. I became hooked last year after seeing the quality and how truly well made the costumes are.

Chasing Fireflies has some great kid’s Halloween costume ideas, everything from baby costumes to girl’s costumes, boy’s costumes, to witch, princess, fairy and super hero! Wishcraft from Chasing Fireflies offers a catalog filled with unique costume ideas that are sure to make Halloween a howlin’ good time, building memories no one is going to forget.

This year my son and husband are going as matching Spirit Warriors. Check out this face:

The costume is really cool. The mask is made of very durable yet pliable material and just cannot be torn. The rest of the costume can fit easily over his clothes. The boot covers make the entire thing look great (although he did leave his favorite tennis shoes visible in that picture above).

My son is thrilled with his costume and absolutely cannot wait for Halloween. I even bought my daughters costume from Chasing Fireflies. She is going as Katy Perry wearing this and we are just waiting on the blue wig to arrive.
