Sharon37127 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My son is having an extremely difficult time deciding what to "be" for Halloween. He had thought about a ninja, but doesn't like anything he sees. Nothing Star Wars. I think he just might be growing out of it. Any ideas?

Tasia Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I tried to convince him otherwise, but Ds11 is dressing up as Lance Armstrong. He found a yellow biking shirt and will wear under armour leggings and a bike helmet. He's making a bib with the number "-7" and will have a few fake syringes. Ds9 and Ds8 are going to be Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. Ds13 is "too cool". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUBuckeye Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Superheroes a la DC and Marvel? I know grown men who dress up as X-men, Thor, Iron Man, Batman, etc. And judging by the number of kids under five at the last Spiderman movie (really, babies in a villain movie?!?! Bad parenting award), young kids as young as 5 like their superheros too. Another option might be to throw Pirates of the Caribbean on and have him discover that HE wants to be a pirate (wink). A sword, Johnny Depp mascara, and eight layers of garments later, you have a pretty easy costume. I think this was how I ended up as Pippi Longstockings so many years. A coat hanger wire braided into my hair, three freckle dots on my cheeks, and the random layered clothes of my choice, and my costume was done. The sword provides the fun factor in being a pirate.

Abeille Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 One ds is being a creeper from Minecraft, and the other is dressing up as the Doctor from Dr. Who (the 11th Doctor, for fans of the show). They're both 11, and show no signs of outgrowing Hallowe'en. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My son last year was a minecraft creeper too! This year he's going to be "Finn the Human". I'm not sure who that character is - we don't have cable. But it's some inappropriate programming I'm sure he saw at his grandparent's house! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higginszoo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My 11 year old boy is going to be Duct Tape Man -- with a Duct Tape mask and a piece of fabric with a duct tape D on it tied on as a cape and a duct tape D on his shirt. His 14 year old brother decided that he'd then be WD 40 -- royal blue shirt with yellow felt letters, a red stocking cap and a red straw in his mouth. Apparently, together, they can fix anything. :thumbup1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfcartmama Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He's a demi-god from Camp Half Blood (Percy Jackson series). He's wearing a ripped up a pair of jeans we got at the thrift store, an orange tee, shield, sword, helmet and chest plate. He had 2 (sword and shield) and I got the other two at the local pop-up Halloween store. He's actually excited about it this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayseeliz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I don't think my son is generally "too cool" but he is going as a ninja. Thankfully he is easily pleased as I bought the costume at a consignment store for $5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ds11 is going as a Gryffindor student.

KungFuPanda Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I went to a Halloween party last night.

TeenagerMom Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My 10 yr old wants to be a black cat. Odd request but easy to accommodate.

(I don't have any 11 year olds, but he tries to be "cool") However for what it's worth, he will be going as the Phantom of the Opera.

Just Jane Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 When ds15 was 11 he went as Hunted Deer. He wore all the black and glued a stuffed deer on the shirt with a fake arrow through it and splattered fake blood all over the shirt. I'm not sure if it was "too cool" but he got a lot of compliments on it. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
