I'm going to get on my soapbox and have a little rant about this. I was out the other day trying to find goodies to put in the treat bags for my daughter's fall party at school. The school doesn't allow ghosts, witches, etc. We were told by the room mom to find something with fall leaves or pumpkins on it. Would you believe I went to 3 stores and could hardly find anything that didn't have scary looking things on them? Pencils, stickers, bubbles, you name it...ALL of it had ghoulish looking things on them. I was so aggravated! Why does everything have to be so over the top?? I saw some really cute looking little pencils and tiny notepads that looked like they would have been perfect, but for the fact that they said "I love vampires" on them. REALLY?? On pencils and small kid's notepads??
Everywhere we looked for costumes this year, we had to walk by some really scary stuff to get to the kids stuff and my daughter was scared of it all. I understand that it is Halloween and that some of the stuff is scary and that people like to do haunted houses and such, but can't they put it in one place by the adult stuff so that I can try to avoid it? Why must the entire store be decked out in the "face half ripped off and bloody" creatures so that my kids are too scared to go in there?
Ok...my rant is over. I'm sorry that you haven't had any luck in the costume department. The Disney Store had some cute things from Toy Story, Cars and of course the Princesses. You may want to check there. Hope your kids have fun!
