Haiku Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Tonight my little ones are going out as Kaya (the Native American American Girl) and Space Ghost. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Okay - gotta ask about the space ghost? Sounds cool! Dd will be Cinderella. The other three don't know yet! We have TONS of costumes for them to choose from though. I'm trying to convince one of them to go as Smarty Pants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Space Ghost. (Ds is going as the 60s version, not the updated one.) Back in the day, I went as a California Raisin. That was a fun costume. We made it from trash bags stuffed with newspaper. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clwcain Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Our oldest is very excited to be a Knight this year. I'm not sure what the other two are going as. Middle son will probably just pull his costume off, so we may not bother. The youngest, since he's walking, will probably be a U.S. Marine.

hsmamainva Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My 17 year old daughter is going to a Halloween party as a Gypsy. My 9 year old is going Trick or Treating with his best friend (also 9) and their dad. My son is going to be Darth Vader and his best friend is going as a Storm Trooper. My 14 year old says he's too old to trick or treat this year, and my 6 year old doesn't like Halloween at all...it's just too scary, as far as she's concerned, so she's going to stay home with me and hand out candy (and eat plenty of it herself, I'm sure!)

riada Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ours are still debating between Little Bo Peep (dd9) lost her sheep (dd5, dd3, ds 8mos.) or being critters: dd9 ladybug, dd5 butterfly, dd3 bee, ds frog. They have all these costumes in the dress up box so it is up to them to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oldest, a boy, will be Fred Oldest girl will be Velma. And I have to say that is is mind boggling how much she looks like her. 15 yr. old dd will be Shaggy. 12 yr. old will be Daphne, also a perfect fit. And the youngest will be Scooby Doo. The look great together. Excellent idea on their part. I will try to post pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tara This is too funny! Back in the day I actually went as garbage. I was dress in a garbage bag and had trash (it was clean!) stuck to me. I can't tell you how many people thought I was a CA Raisin! My boys are going as Thor and a Viking. I hope everyone will post pics tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 We just got back from trick or treat. Dd8 went as Lucy from Prince Caspian. She looks a lot like her right now. This was also her costume that she wore to the Renaissance Festival a few weeks ago. Older dd decided not to trick or treat this year. She still wore a tiara, though :D She never did like going to people's houses. Dd's friend went as a vampire princess, all pink and black. I'll probably post pictures on my blog tomorrow.

NevadaRabbit Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Pie is going out as a cat, and Moose is going out as a Jedi. Pie usually makes it to about 3 houses then comes home and helps me hand out candy. Moose drags Dad all over the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Well, my kids don't go out trick or treating (because they can't eat the candy, not because of any religious or ethical issues). However, we do costumes every year for our church's Halloween party. And they usually wear them again on Halloween night when we stay home and hand out treats to those who show up at our door. (Okay, as usual, I'm speaking/typing in the plural, but my daughter isn't home for Halloween. Guess I'm still getting used to this.) Since our party was last weekend, my son's costume has been done for several days. I posted a picture of him in his Percy Jackson get-up on the "still sewing" thread: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65015&highlight=sewing My daughter dressed up as Thing 1/Thing 2 with her roommate for their dorm party last night. I ordered them the red sweatsuits from Lands End, but they found the wigs and made their names/numbers themselves. I haven't seen a picture of the finished product yet, but they won a couple of awards at the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 My kids can't eat the candy either. They just like to trick-or-treat. I buy special treats that they exchange their candy for when they get home. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest janainaz Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Darth Vadar (ds 8) and "the bones" as my ds 3 calls it. He's going to be a skeleton. We are also going to a carnival fall festival at the church, so my ds 3 may be Buzz Lightyear for that. They said family friendly costumes and I'm assuming even a cute skeleton is not appropriate.
