Your costumes, your kids' costumes, your neighbors' costumes, etc.

Here's my granddaughter (the one who's recovering from injuries) as a peacock. Her best friend is a werewolf (or was for one night). ;-)

And then a step to the right.... Great costume, Brad. We're not dressing up this year, haven't for a while now but somewhere someone in this extended family has a couple of large boxes of costumes from past Halloweens. I know there is Raggedy Anne/Andy, a nurse and a baseball player, pair of leopards (those are oh! so cute, head to toe onsie pattern), individual crayon costumes that make up a box of colors, a bride and groom where the groom is womens sized, bride a large man....you brought up some great memories just now! We'll have approx 150 children at the door, always fun, especially the littlest..... It's one of DH's favorite holidays.

Thank you! I can not tell you enough how much fun we had making this costume together! DS1 got done w/ his costume early and helped me w/ DD's and DS2's costumes. All of the kids each participated in the making of each of their costumes in some form or fashion. We had such a lovely, lazy laid back weekend crafting! Let me just say that while I was drawing it out on the posterboard (I used posterboard w/ a grid on it) I kept thinking "I am so glad that I had an architect for a Dad!". The measurments were ridiculous for someone not very mathematically inclined but thank heaven for a T square! After cutting it out and painting it I cut thin foam board to support the top of the top (does that make sense?) and support the top of the skirt. I sandwiched elastic straps between the posterboard and foam board and hot glued the foam board onto the back of the top and skirt. I ran a bead of hot glue onto the bottom of the hairbow and attached a headband. I cut out the tabs and hot glued them onto the costume and reinforced w/ duct tape. There is one house on our route that rewards children who have creative, innovative costumes that kids come up w/ on their own. My kids always make their house one of the last houses on their route and talk about that house all day long in anticipation. She carried that little purse all night long just like in the picture w/ her pumpkin in the other hand! I got the idea from the magazine Family Fun put out by Disney. Here is a link that might be useful: Paper Doll Costume

When DGS Jonathon was about four, he wanted to go as the parting of the Red Sea. Needless to say, his mother was not quite that resourceful!

That is a very cool (as in "Ewww.....cool!!") costume! Is it possible to see while wearing it?

Lovely ladies Alisande! How is your granddaughter doing? The costume Bigack posted has her son's head right in the middle and his hands are pulling his own hair/holding his head up.. so yes, he is able to see. I've seen this done with a clear plastic jar (cut in the back) over the head too.. so it appears the 'live' head is in a jar being held by a headless person. Very cool idea!

DH and I are going to our friend's annual Halloween party as John and Lorena Bobbitt. I won't post pictures here of that, but it is a simple costume with fake blood in appropriate places on some pajamas. I'll carry a 'bloody' knife and a jar with evidence (sausage). Sorry you asked??? lol

Those costumes are great. I wish I could post pics, but I worked as a hostess in a supper club, and Halloween fell on Saturday, so the employees decided work in costume. I made an angel costume. Actually I was a fallen angel with my halo askew and crumpled wings. As I was walking into the club and passed two guys who had been at the bar too long, one turned to the other and said, "Am I seeing things, or did you see what i saw? A fairy just walked by." I was torn between being a fallen angel or a preggers angel with a sign that said Heaven in just a sin away.

Here are my daughter's stepdaughters in homemade costumes. "Juliet" sewed her own skirt, and the motocross racer worked on her costume with her dad. (That's him in the picture.) A lot of work went into the "bike!"
