Jennifer in MI Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I don't think we have a Halloween picture thread yet! Today our local downtown area closed the streets and all the businesses handed out candy. The kids LOVED it!!!! They had a DJ with dancing in the streets and a costume contest and everything! Anyway, here's my dd as Belle: [attach]3714[/attach] I did her hair!!! [attach]3715[/attach] My mom made the dress. It is truly a work of art!!!

My 10 yo has a really cute costume, but it's uncomfortable. So, he decided to be something un-photo worthy today. He'll dress as his fun, original self for Halloween though.

Dd5 is Harry Potter and dd7 is Hermione when she turned herself into a cat. I have elf ears for the baby (Dobby the house elf) but he's not in the picture.

GWOB Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Courtney, I love those! We are HUGE Harry Potter fans. I may convince the kidlets to do this next year. BTW, I am envying the flip-flop weather. It was quite blustery today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I wish I had the talent to make homemade costumes, but alas, I don't. PDG is "River Song disguised as Cleopatra" for Halloween (Doctor Who fans will understand). We will be adding a black wig for trick or treating, but it is one of those really, really cheap ones that is pretty much a one-shot deal, so I didn't want to risk tangling it beyond repair for the party she went to this evening. LLL is "Pink Supergirl". I never knew Supergirl was pink, but wow, it's shimmery and sparkly and pink and just too cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Ok, I must confess. Dh made the kids' costumes. I made cookies. I am so not creatively-inclined. I did however buy the magazine from which the dc got their inspiration. That counts, right?:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CourtneyChn Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks! Yes, they're handknit. With the chunkiest yarn I could find since they decided a week ago their costumes wouldn't be complete without them. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Love all of the costumes so far! Hermione as a cat is a great idea! My kids have lovely Hogwarts scarves too, But, my sister made them, I have no innate knitting talents. Here is ds, I will have to snap pics of the girls on Sunday. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettechmomof2 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 My son just wanted to go as Spiderman and we had that costume i our dress up bin so that was easy. My daughter went as The Big Bad Wolf and the pictures do not do the outfit justice. Her saw moves and it seperated from the upper jaw. She has clay teeth and thickened ears and whiskers. So cute!

mhg Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I don't know how much luck I'll have attaching pics (i'm not good at it), but here it goes... My son asked to be a SAGUARO CACTUS last year as he was into Cacti last year. I made the costume and we didn't get to wear it as we were in Savannah, GA on vacation and the Kid's Halloween party we had planned to go to at the big hotel (which we checked out before we "went down") was so full of very terrifying adult costumes that we decided it would have our son terrified/having nightmares for years. So, thankfully, he asked to be the same this year and we got some use out of it. He felt like a Saguaro and loved telling passers-by to "Watch out for my pokeys; they pack a mighty punch (his exact words:lol:)!" So my wrestling with those pipe cleaners was worth it! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Katia Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Our boys' first trick-or-treating. I love this! My youngest dd's first time trick-or-treating was when she was 11yo as well. She was always so very afraid of all the scary costumes and decorations! We just dressed up here at home and the kids would hand out candy. That was enough for them for such a long time. My older two went out when they were much younger, then we went through a phase of ignoring the holiday, then graduated to handing out candy....etc. But, they never wanted to go out again. They'd had their time and were 'ok' with that. But I'm glad my youngest got the courage to go out (I went with her, of course!) once before she was too old to enjoy it! The 'First Time' is so very special when they are old enough to really, truly appreciate it for what it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairnmama Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Can you tell me more about this? What exactly did they do? It's so much fun for our kids! Everyone picks a character from history or literature and researches them. Then they prepare an autobiographical speech (without naming who they are), dress up like them, and present to the group. At the end of the speech they ask, "Who am I?", and everyone tries to guess. This year we had Abraham Lincoln, Laura Ingles, James Audobon, Queen Esther, Clara Barton, Daniel Boone, Betsy Ross, Thomas Edison, Catherine the Great, Sir Lancelot, and a couple others I can't quite remember.
