Awesome All Saints Day Costumes in Expert, Store-Bought, and, What? is it October?

Can you believe it’s October?! With the weather we’ve been having in Southern California . . . I cannot. But, there you have it.

Probably, you want to be an awesome, totally organized mom who remembered that All Saint’s Day and Halloween were coming up. But probably the last thing you want to do is actually come up with an All Saints Day costume AND a Halloween costume for your kid(s).

So, here’s what I’m gonna do. I’m going to give you some all new suggestions and link up my previous posts featuring my kids’ All Saints Day costumes that double as Halloween costumes. Some require sewing and planning ahead, some can easily be accomplished with a store bought costume, some you can totally throw together the night before with a quick trip to the store or even with stuff in your house. There’s something for everyone!

First up, we’ve got (click on the title to go to the post and see photos and instructions):
