I'd like us to do something as a family, I was thinking the Flinstones and making the costumes but I'll be really showing by then. I already am in maternity pants! I haven't gained any weight but my belly is sticking out a little. Do you think that or should we do something else? It would have to be something I can easily buy or easily make (my sewing skills still aren't that great!)... any thoughts?
Re: Halloween ideas
i LOVE family costumes! i just don't know what hahah...
my sister is good at doing fam costumes. last year they were superheroes. then one year they were animals to match with their son's diego costume. another year they were martial artists.
i'm actually showing a lot. i was thinking of being a pumpkin. hahahahah i would just wear an orange shirt. HAHAHAHAH
hawaii 10.2008 plan ;P married bio ???
I'm really bad at costume ideas...
This made me laugh though - you could adapt it so one parent is the graham cracker, one is the Hershey bar and Bella is the marshmallow:
It's pretty much all cardboard so it would be fairly easy (instructions in the link above).
sarah, i'm really bad at groupings but I think a family costume is a great idea.
that is what I did last year - wish I had pictures. I sewed a black felt face onto the orange shirt for work (we have a big luncheon for halloween). That cleared up any lingering is she/isn't she preg. that people may have had.
I think Family costumes are fun and don't think the Flinstones would be too hard...you may even be able just to purchase those.
One year I was Cruella DeVil and J was a Dalmation (we bought the costumes from Disney.com)...our nephew's bday is around Halloween and he had a costume party.
When he was about 2 my SIL was Miss Muffet and he was a Spider.
I think there are lots of options for family costumes...
Wizard of Oz (Dorothy, Scarecrow and Lion)
Gone With the Wind (Scarlett, Rhett and their daughter)
Peter Pan (Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinkerbell or Wendy, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell)

I think you can probably make your own though and just get some "accessories" like a bone for Bella's hair! Wigs for you and Ryan and some "stoneage" jewelry for you.

I have two ideas for you!!
(1) My friend, when she was expecting, dressed up in all black with a box around her belly that was made to look like an oven. On her belly was a note that said "Bun in the Oven." Her husband dressed up like a baker!! If you did this, then Bella could be an already cooked loaf of bread!!
(2) Our costume for this year... DH will wear a football jersey and Alexa will be a football!! My mom is sewing a simple brown shift dress with white lace markings on the front like a football. She can wear white long sleeve onesie and stockings under to stay warm. I could either be a cheerleader or also wear a football jersey.
Here is a pic I found of what I am going for...
