Halloween, what are your kids going to be?

My oldest daughter, who is eight this year, has started going down the path of scary Halloween costumes. She wants to be the Grim Reaper this year. Last year she was the devil and the year before that she was actually a faerie. My other daughter, now seven, wants to be a cat this year for Halloween. Last year she wanted to go as a witch and a princess so we found her a little Renassiance Witch costume and turned her into a witch princess! She loved it and it turned out to be a big hit!

Hi BinKsBaBy, This will be my 16 month olds 1st year trick or treating. She picked out the Tigger costume herself and I was very happy as I love Tigger too! We're really excited about taking her! PurpleTeddyBear.

My daughters are older and one wants to go as a devil and the other an angel. Fits them both actually. I try to find costumes that have the things that go on the head and then we used things we have at home or I can whip up for the costumes. The hair spray they have now is great to change hair color but if you have a pure blonde be careful. My oldest daughter was a pink bunny one year and wore a pink footie sleeper with rabbit ears and a cotton tail and I sprayed her hair pink. The pink didn't wash out and so she wore a lot of pink for many months after that until it finally grew out. To this day she will not put spray on color on her hair and she is 23*L* Good luck with the costume I remember the days when they were little with such fond memories.

My son has a choice of two costumes to wear, Spiderman or Ninja Turtle and he has not decided on which one to wear (mostly likely the Spiderman one). This will be the first time for us to partake in Halloween, should be fun!

My daughter is 7. She really wanted to be something scary this year. She first wanted to be a mummy and then a ghost. We finally found a costume for both and she didn't like them. We ended up getting a little creative yesterday and made her a tree costume. It ended up being really cute. The trunk is going to be a cardboard box painted brown. It goes to about her knees and then she will have brown pants on. The tree part we cut out of cardboard, painted it green and then cut out all different colors of leaves. We had fun making it too!

Hi binksbaby.My daughter has 2 outfits that she can choose from.One for the day and the other for the night or whatever she wants.One is a raggedy anne outfit(its complete with the hat and red hair),the other is a fairy witch that has oranges,pinks,greens,black,glitter and sparkles,with the hat too.Shes sooo cute in this one,but it itches her and she as to wear alot of clothes under it,not like the other one.My daughter went as cinderrella last year and always tripped over her dress and that,it was hard going up stairs,but she managed it.Hehe.Ohhh!Minnie mouse is sooo cute on a litle girl! Peanutjar:)

My kids have decided they dont want to trick or treat again this yr...instead we're goin to buy munchies and have a movie marathon :-D We've done that a few times since moving here to the U.S and its just as much fun plus we get to do our Samhain ritual without rushing becuase of dinner, trick or treating and it being a school night etc etc..

Hi BinksBaBy, Since my daughter is sixteen, she won't be dressing up this year. She and her friend, are planning on helping to give out treats here, if she doesn't have to work. When she was younger, she had many different costumes. Some of them were, clown, puppy, gypsy, Snow White, Pocahontas, old woman, etc. My next door neighbour's little girl, who I babysit, is going to be 'Spiderman,' proving that it's not just a costume for boys. She came over on the weekend, all excited to show me her costume. I hope you were able to get something great, for your daughter.:)

I'm thinking of taking my lil sis trick or treating and we might dressup in somethign that matches us-like salt and pepper, ketchup and mustard. will see tomorrow !

My kids and Grandkids are so excited when it comes to Halloween. My son is going to be Spiderman. My grandson is going to be The Thing from the fantastic 4. I have two grand daughters that are about the same age also. One is going ot be an elephant, it is the cutest outfit you have ever seen with the trunk and all. My other grand daughter is going to be a penquin, they are both soo adorable! Then w also have a butterfly, a baby duck, a Freddy Kruegar and a Jason even...I am passing out candy at the house. To me, trick or treating is nothing like it use to be. I remember running around the neighborhood with a pillow case FULL of candy, just within 3 hours of trick or treating. Now a days, no one is home, everything looks desserted.....But trusting people is a lot different than it us to be. We only take our kids to places that we know.
