My son has had a fascination with police from a very young age. I can't count the times he would come out and "arrest" me for making him clean his room! I thought it would be really fun for him to have his own police uniform! Enter CostumerDiscounters.com. They have a great selection of police costumes.
The one I picked is great! When the package came, I called my son in to open it up. You can't believe how excited he was! "Mom, that is so cool!" "Are those real handcuffs?" "How can I possibly wait till Halloween?" "It has a hat AND a badge?" Can I go arrest my sister?" are just a few of the things that came tumbling out of him. And no, I didn't make him wait until Halloween. Ü
The police costume consisted of a police shirt with great official-looking patches on either sleeve, a hat, a badge, black belt, handcuffs, and a baton. He looks pretty handsome if I say so myself!
I was impressed with how quickly our costume came. CostumeDiscounters.com gave me great customer service and I had a fun time searching through all the costumes!
So, it being summer and all, I decided to enlighten my children's cartoon-soaked minds. We did some research on police. Did you know that the New York Sheriff's Office was founded in 1626? I had no idea. My daughter wants to be a forensic scientist or a crime scene investigator, so she actually found some interesting info also.
So, all in all, the costume was a huge hit! We got to have a teaching moment, he loves wearing the costume, and he has a great time enforcing the "law" around our home. Right this minute he is in trying to arrest his sister for not sharing her Nintendo DS. I better go intervene before she has HIM arrested for trespassing!

My son loves all things Star Trek! I don't know Where he gets that from? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that both his parents like it too! When I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween, you know what he said... A Star Trek guy!
After doing some searching on different websites, we found a great Star Trek costume! My son felt very strongly that he wanted the red shirt. Me, being a fan of Star Trek, had very mixed emotions. Red-shirted crew members didn't fair so well in the episodes. If you watched Star Trek on TV, you know that one red-shirt met an untimely end each episode. But, my son loves red so we got it!
He is absolutely thrilled with his costume! When it arrived (with very prompt shipping, I might add) he immediately tried it on and assumed many Star Trek poses. I had fun watching him enjoy his costume so much! Now, he's having a hard time waiting for Halloween to get here! Me too, but my anticipation is much more candy-based!
The Star Trek costume fit great and is well-made! It even passed my husband's inspection, which is something, since he is a much bigger fan than me. In fact, without spoiling it, our Halloween this year will definitely have a theme and will involve whole family! I'll take pictures when everything is finished.
Now I'm on the hunt for phasers, and blue face paint (no, not for smurfs). Wish me luck!
