OnTheBrink Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 What are your kids dressing as? (If you don't do Halloween, please don't derail this into a debate.

Caitilin Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Twin dds are going as eastern-princess type and gypsy, respectively. DD5 is going as a tree (we have the coolest costume for this!) DS7 wants to try to go as Wall-E (sp?) made of carboard boxes. DS8, still deciding. He wants me to spring for a Darth Vader Mask--told him it wasn't happening, so he is still thinking. DS1 will probably go as the dino/dragon that his sibs have worn other years--obviously, he's highly invested in this decision! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 My kids are going to be dogs. They love dogs, so I'm going to put felt spots on sweats and make them ears and tails. I'm planning to put the spots on with safety pins, so the sweats will be reusable this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in St Louis Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 This is our first year of non-themed costumes...:crying: DS is going to be a racecar DD is going to be a cupcake In the past we have done Shephard/Lamb (she was only 2 months old as the lamb!) Diego/Baby Jaguar Firefighter/Dalmation (with red bows on ears) Pirates We take treats to people instead of traditional trick or treating, so we'll make cupcakes this year and say we "raced over to bring you a cupcake!"

She says she's a "Spanish princess." ETA DH and I are going to a party where dressing up is optional. I'm going to hunt down a pig nose and a pink sweatshirt/pant outfit, add some wings, and come as the "swine flew."

peachskittles Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 My 6 year old son wanted to be an animal...Do you know how hard it is to find an animal costume for an older child? He wanted to be a ladybug, pig, cow, horse, etc...We even threw around the idea his brothers would be cats and he'd be a rat but that costume sold out on the site I found it cheapest...I finally bought a dinosaur costume from Ebay (Aladar from the movie Dinosaur)... My 2 year old son will be an alley cat (Tom Arma costume from Ebay)... My 3month old son will be something made by Tom Arma (I love these costumes but didn't know they existed til this year), just not sure which one...I've been watching Ebay like a hawk for something cute...He'll probably be a black cat though... Oh and my SO has been requested to dress up as well...*sigh* My 6 year old is insistant that Daddy will be the black Spiderman...I'm still looking into buying that one... Next year we will be doing a theme...I wanted to do one this year but I took too long to plan it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babysparkler Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 We don't do Halloween, but I bought my 2yo a bumblebee costume to wear as the mascot of our 4yo soccer team "The Stingers"... it is adorable!!! It is perfect as a vest/sweater for cold weather with a cute black hood with antennae. He wears it to every game, including the upcoming Halloween game, so I guess he will be a Bumblebee this Halloween ;). We found it at Target.

babysparkler Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 When I was in middle school my best friend and I were a pair of dice and won our school contest.

That was my favorite costume :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now she has this to wear for the fair too. Yeah!! Our costumes are working hard too. We are going to go to a friends and have dinner and play games so the kids can dress up - but not trick or treat. DD is a Renaissance girl or Juliet as she likes to say, and DS as a Knight. The week before Halloween we are going to the Renaissance Festival close by, and a couple of weeks after our library is doing a Fable Fest celebrating medieval lit, so our costumes will do triple duty!!

MomtoCandJ Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Cali is going as a ballerina cat, it's a black and pink leopard print leotard and tights (bought at Brother Charlie's it is a local thrift store where the proceeds help men and women with drug addiction and what not, it cost a whole 50 cents.) The brand though says the children's place, a friend found her some cat ears made with a headband although the fur is neon orange instead of pink, i figured it's going to be dark so no one is really going to notice, i also bought some black eye liner for a dollar to draw whiskers and nose, also plan on making her a tail with a pair of tights she has outgrown and some holey socks to stuff it with :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go start your own thread! ) My dd is going as a girl from the 50's. Poodle skirt, etc. Parka Pete the Arctic Pirate. Really. We have to have a costume that he can wear with a parka. It's surely going to be a freezing Halloween again. This year, he suggested a pirate, and as the costume developed, so did the name. I do have a fake stuffed parrot to perch on his shoulder, and I found some blue lipstick for that authentic Arctic look. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
