Although you own your identity as a woman and as an adult after having kids, entrée into motherhood is, inarguably, a game-changer. The fact of the matter: Once your to-do list gets packed with feedings and drop-offs, you may have fewer options when it comes to what to be for Halloween.

Check 'em out, and then tell us: Would you ever consider #6 in a million years?!

'Sexy Wolf'
Little Red Riding Hood will never know what hit her when she sees this "Sexy Wolf" ($108.95, Yandy.com) coming. But, yeah, as much as you may love that fairy tale, this furry look is just a no-no.

'Sexy Olaf'

'Furry Electric Party Raver'
Chalk it up to loving Katy Perry or wishing you could get tickets to Ultra Music Festival, but either way, this Adult Furry Electric Raver ($59.99, partycity.com) is pretty frightening. And not in a good, Halloween-y way!
Sexy 'One-Eyed Master's Helper'
Even if Despicable Me makes you "happy," don't show it with this minion costume ($59.95, Yandy.com).
