kentuckymom Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I love costumes, and Halloween is the perfect excuse to wear them. Usually DH and I dress up as well. I let the kids take the lead, and then figure out costumes for us (DH is happy to dress up, but not interested in the planning aspect). This year Kittygirl wanted to be a squirrel and Squirrelboy wanted to a cowboy. Yes, I know it's kind of funny that the squirrel is not the kid with that nickname on here :). There we no good way to work that into an overall theme, so I'm matching Kittygirl and DH is matching Squirrelboy. Our family costumes will consist in: A grey squirrel and brown chipmunk (Kittygirl and Mom) Two cowboys (Squirrelboy and Dad) Maybe I'll share some pictures later in the month.

BarbecueMom Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 DS5 will be Emmet from the Lego Movie, DS6 is Lego Batman. DS1 is a fireman. It was cheap and he likes swinging the plastic axe. I don't think DH and I are dressing up this year. Last year we were Sheldon and Amy from the Big Bang Theory. All we're waiting on is the orange pants for the Emmet costume, the rest is done.

Mimm Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 13 year old will be a pirate. She's got a dress and a sword and she looks great. 12 year old will be a monster. She picked this because 10 month old is going to be a monster if it's cold, a fairy if it's warm. 12 year old is going to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 We found a cute witch costume for DD10 at a garage sale. DD13 is piecing together a Marcelline the Vampire Queen (from Adventure Time) costume, though she doesn't want vampire teeth. She hates vampire teeth.

AMJ Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I wanted to be Marceline lol. I forgot all about the teeth. I was just thinking of the little marks you paint on the neck for her. I looked up fun tutorials on how to make a bass prop last year. Thank you for the reminder of the marks on the neck! Must remember that touch.

SMRB Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 DD4 and DS7 like being a pair. Last year, they were Batman and Robin, and this year, they are going to be the Kratt brothers from the Wild Kratts. They got their costumes this week and have been wearing them all the time, making up stories and games. I'm not big on Halloween and never have been, but we make it special because it's also DD's birthday. It has been so much fun seeing their imaginations run wild this year!

LifeLovePassion Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Dd1 will be Kaya, the American Girl doll (costume is about 40% done). Dd2 will be her wolf puppy, Tatlo. It works out as dd1 was a wolf last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xixstar Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Elsa and a princess. As soon as I bought the fabric they then declared they needed to be. Dinosaur and engineer. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 DD(7) is going to be Elsa. When she asked (no...really begged) for the Elsa costume, I told her that every little girl is going to be Elsa this year. Her response? "I know." Hmm...so much for her doing her own thing! But I did buy the Elsa costume for her anyway. I'm a sucker like that. DS(10) has informed me this will be his last year to dress up (sniff, sniff!). He wants to be some creature from Minecraft (a Wither?). Any clue how I can make that? I'm soooo not creative. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 dudeling will be a Gryffindor. he chose a Hermione's wand from ebay - came from hong kong. (they have a selection of different wands belonging to different characters. they are much nicer than the costume companies, and reasonably priced. even lights up.)

Just Kate Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I just looked up Wither. That looks complicated as it has 3 heads... looks a little bit like Enderman to me (we have an Enderman cardboard head given to ds last year). I know! I've just never been that cool mom who gave her kids awesome costumes, ya know? So I would love to come through with this. We will see though.

Ali in OR Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Youngest is the only one dressing up. Last I heard she was debating between a minion or Olaf (no Elsa here!). She's pretty creative and will largely make the costume herself--she's done an awesome Olaf head out of butcher paper before. I'm telling her that if she wants to be a minion we need to find some overalls sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 DD is going to be the serpent that guarded the golden fleece (which she says also overlaps with Kastraliss on Neopets and Quetzalcoatl). Purple snake-print pants, purple snake-print leotard, wings made of tulle, and a gold-colored scarf made of fleece material. I'm guessing that if anyone guesses at all, they'll probably think she's Spyro from Skylanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ds doesn't trick or treat anymore (he's 17) but has a few parties he'll be attending. He wants to be a plague doctor.

GailV Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Younger will be Mario and go out with other characters from the game to distribute fliers for the Mario ballet they're in the next weekend (dd is Mario in the ballet; it's going to be fabulous). Older will attend her first college Halloween party and was thinking about wearing the 1920s bridal dress I made for Drowsy Chaperone. The theme is to come as your favorite dead person, and I'm not really sure where she's headed with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 DD13: Batman (which for her just means a Batman T-shirt) DD9: Pikachu Me: Sharknado (tomato cage covered with cotton batting, toy sharks, Barbie limbs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberries Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 DD is going to be either a peacock or a witch. DS is going to be "someone headless," a creeper from Minecraft, or Jack Skellington. DD already has both costumes in her dress up closet, so no worries there. DS needs to decide soon because his will require work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ds13- The blue screen of death (death robe, cardboard "screen" for a face, painted blue) Ds11- Tech support.

I'm going as Where's Waldo. And we have to find something for DH! We'll be at Disney for Halloween, as usual! We usually do a family theme but no one could agree this year LOL.

foxbridgeacademy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 DD is going as Rd Riding-hood with a twist. She'll be carrying a Wolf's head as her basket and an Ax. DS 13 says he's not dressing up but will end up as a zombie, probably. He's gotten on a bit of a health kick and is trying to eat better. I'll probably offer to pay him for the candy (so he'll actually dress up) and then give it to nieces/nephews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 DS7 is going to be an Ewok. I bought a bear costume and am adding Ewok accessories. DS13 will be a soccer player. We need to go to Soccer USA to get a jersey. It's our sneaky way for him to get a new jersey. I don't know which team, yet, but I think he wants Real Madrid. Last year it was Chelsea. I'm an Arsenal fan (just to be contrary,) but he won't go for that. Maybe I will be an Arsenal player... He is going to a party instead of trick or treating this year. DD9 hasn't made a decision.

Dmmetler Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Our local Bricks and Minifigs is having a Halloween event the Saturday before, and DD has decided that she can rework her costume, add a snake staff, and be Pythor, If I can figure out how to make (or break down and buy) a crocodile head/hat, I'm supposed to be Cragger.
