Hunt for the Pumpkin

Went to Shang yesterday to get Ippo a Halloween costume. I would have loved to get him the Lightning McQueen costume he wants but I think the shipping will just be too costly. Sony keeps telling me they are only kids once. I know that but I also remind myself that I need to be aware of my limits. I don’t earn as much as my cousins in the U.S., and I shouldn’t be spending like them.

Its so much easier to dress girls up. Even for costumes, there are a lot more choices for girls. We were kinda busy dragging Ippo away from the powered cars and bikes so I couldn’t manage to take pictures inside Rustan’s.

I wish I had taken pictures of the cute little costumes from Bumblebee and Company. My favourites: bunny girl costume for toddlers (imagine Playboy bunny), little cowgirl and little chef. The little chef costume was the most inexpensive at P1,399. But still expensive, noh?

Here are some pictures I got from Bumblebee and Company’s website.

I was looking for something bright and puffy so we got a Pumpkin costume for Ippo. I think he has less chances of looking exactly like the other boys in school as a pumpkin. Last year, most of the boys were Superman, Spiderman, Batman or Robin. While Ippo can't really decide for himself yet, he’s going to be bright and puffy on Halloween just like how mommy wants it. Hehe.

By the way, his pumpkin costume is not from Bumblebee and Company. I got it from Rustan’s for only P449.75. It wasn’t on display, but the very kind man (I think he’s a supervisor) asked one of the staff to look for their smallest pumpkin costume. Good thing it fit Ippo, otherwise we would have had to settle for Ninja or Dracula.

Here are pictures at the Shang after our pumpkin hunt.
