Halloween is coming fast. I still can’t believe we are less than two weeks and counting. It seems like it was just Summer time. While I am not ready for the change in seasons and the cold weather that comes along with it in Minnesota, it is exciting thinking about Halloween. The kids spend hours discussing all the different costumes they could choose, talking about carving pumpkins, baking lemon flavored Halloween roll-out cookies, and making Fall and Halloween crafts.  It’s definitely a busy time of year for us considering that it lands smack dab in the middle of Fall fieldwork on the farm too.  No matter how busy we are, though, the excitement that comes along with it brings lots of joy in our home.   While three of our children had their costumes for months now, our three year old did not.  So we headed over to CostumeExpress.com to partner with them for this review.

While I pulled up the CostumeExpress.com website, our three year old was jumping in excitement at the anticipation of getting a costume.  While he had been set on being Batman, we were unable to find one that fit him correctly.  They either came in 2-4 and was too small/short on him or in 4-6 and was much too large.  Not to mention that each one had a mask that I knew we would have a hard time keeping on his face.  So I hopeful that we would find something else at CostumeExpress.com.

I headed over to the Infant and Toddler Section.  Immediately, over 500 costumes came up for choice.  Of course, some of these were girls so we narrowed down our results.  Even after removing the girl costumes, there were still over 300 costumes for us to look at.  We started scrolling through and the Lil’ Froggy Toddler Costume caught our sons eye.  I pulled the link up and we checked out the costume closer.  I was happy to see that the Frog costume looked like it would help protect against whatever weather elements would show up on Halloween night.  (We’ve been known to even get snow.  One year, when I was young, we received over a foot of snow during the short time we were out trick-or-treating.)  As I read more about the costumes, I saw that it was machine washable.  Another plus.  As a mom, I dread anything that carries a tag reading “hand wash only.”  Both the size 3T and 4T were in stock so, after consulting the size chart, I decided to go  with the size 4 to be safe.  The order was placed and we were all set to await its arrival.

The costume arrived quickly.  It was ordered on a Thursday and arrived Monday.  CostumeExpress.com has multiple shipping options with 1 day guaranteed available for anyone who needs their costume fast.  As we opened the package, we were all excited.  While the costume was wrinkled from being packaged, the colors on the Lil’ Froggy costume were crisp, clear, and bright.  I was pleased to see a nice sturdy zipper on the back to allow easy dressing and undressing.  The hat was nice and plush so it will make for a very comfortable accessory that will actually be worn the whole evening.

After trying the Lil’ Froggy costume on, our son wore it till bedtime.  I was happy to oblige since I knew if he was comfortable enough it in to play and wear it around the house for 4 hours, we’d make it the whole evening of driving to family and trick-or-treating.  We are all very happy with our choice of the Lil’ Froggy.  It’s cute, comfortable, and feels well made.
