Terabith Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Sadly, my kids are not dressing up. Your thread inspired me to text my kid at college (in our town) and ask if I should drop off a costume for them. We still have a bunch of the costumes they made in elementary school, and I think some of the most recently would still fit oldest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Very original, though they may confuse a lot of people and have to answer questions about what they are dressed up as. As long as they get candy, it's all good. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jessica* Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 We had a party to attend last night and my 17yo wasn’t dressing up, but his outfit ended up being a lime green hoodie and light gray sweatpants. My 11yo told him he looked like a sharpie, so that’s what he claimed his “costume “ was. 😂 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The last time my middle ds went trick or treating his costume was "a guy getting candy" and looked very much like his regular clothing of my son with no costume at all. Pretty lame, but it worked. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Younger was Milo from Atlantis: Lost Empire. No clue what the older is/was. Neither misses a chance to put on a costume, which might be why they're both currently working in costuming. The bird poop idea is wonderfully creative.

Lady Florida. Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Ah, I remember the days when my kid would change his mind a half dozen times between October 1st and Halloween. I also remember when he'd wear his costume out if I bought it too soon. Bird poop was never part of his plan but he would have thought it was an awesome costume in those days. He's 25 now. Went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando a few weeks ago and is going to a costume party tomorrow night. He's Eddie Munson from Stranger Things.

itsheresomewhere Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) No idea what DS is going as now. He bought a chain mail suit he saved for and has realized it is too heavy to wear for more than a very small amount of time. DD is going as a masquerade peacock.

Spryte Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 DD 11 is going as a crow. She’s made an elaborate costume involving feather boas that reminds me of Moira in SC, The Crowening. Cracks me up. DD has not seen SC, so she finds it mildly offensive when I slip and say, “the crowening costume” but it also makes her laugh. For some reason, this crow costume also requires a staff, a hatchet, a dagger with “crow” markings, and a bottle of poison. It’s fierce! 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth86 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 11 year old son - Waluigi 9 year old son- a lobster 7 year old daughter - an angel 4 year old daughter- a witch (she doesn’t like being called cute either. She says witches are ugly, so we have to tell her she looks ugly. 🤣) I’m going as a pumpkin. JK, but I feel like one. I hate thinking ahead, but I saw this costume and I fell in love with it. I would just love to dress my baby up like this next year. https://www.partycity.com/baby-pillsbury-doughboy-costume-889809.html?extcmp=pla|Lia|Google&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwfiaBhC7ARIsAGvcPe5TCtKjtu63BFJxqO5g5_b8KmAr3W_Dta5uIF0MAojVd6rtO6J8NGYaAqgvEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 L did a fairly elaborate cosplay of a character from Windows 7 advertising in Japan and another for Blanche from Pokemon go, but as of yesterday was heading to the mall to look for something for a group costume. The college does quite a bit for Halloween-it's pretty much a week long holiday :). I've dressed up every day for the last week as a teacher-just a headband and a decorated KN95, so I've been a cat, a dog, a unicorn, a bunny, Jigglypuff and Pikachu. DH and I did Jigglypuff and Pikachu for the carnival at the center, and probably will tomorrow night for trick or treaters again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) 14 year old dressed in a blazer, wore a stuffed shark head and had a full house hand of cards, he was “shark dressed man” 12 year old didn’t dress up. 10 year old hasn’t decided for tomorrow, he kind of wanted to be Maverick but figured there would be lots of those this year. Tonight for our church potluck he wore my hoody, drew a smiley face on a balloon, and stuffed it in the hood. He looked like a balloon head. It wasn’t really anything but it made people chuckle and that was his goal. I suggested a way we could use a helium balloon and could be “The Invisible Man” but he didn’t go for that.

purpleowl Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 My 8yo is going as a Scratch project (computer program). Pic in the craft thread. My 10yo is going as a black cat. My 13yo - I said, "you're 13 now and I'm not buying a costume for you this year." (Please note that last year her costume was "can I wear this normal everyday dress that has a pattern that looks like scales on it, and get some wings and be a dragon?") So she was cool with that. And then a couple of days ago: "What if I wear this solid green normal everyday dress and a green hat and carry a sword and shield - I could be Link?" Sure, kiddo. So she's Link. Also when we went to a trunk-or-treat this afternoon, I got a 3-second video of her jumping around like a crazy person - then we said she was a hyperlink. 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausmumof3 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 We won’t be <insert curmudgeonly muttering about American holidays and commercialism> lol… It was interesting to hear the plans of the kids at work. Some were and had bought costumes for it, some weren’t because they live too rural, or because there’s a huge storm and some were doing some variation of it. I had one kid wrote about his plans and he wrote that he was going “trickle treating”. I wonder if that works like trickle-down economics 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Tiggywinkle Again Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 My 10 year old is going as a taco. My 7 year old has both a Chewbacca and Baby Yoda costume and can’t decide. He took both to school today for the Halloween parade, just in case. Curiously, he’s never actually seen a Star Wars movie. My glorious 12 year old, who has refused all Halloween activities for two years other than haunted houses, informed me as he was walking out to his school bus this morning that he wanted to Trick or Treat tonight and needs a Fortnite Llama costume by 4pm today. A decade from now, I know I am really going to miss this. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
