What is everyone doing for halloween?

parrotgirl · October 2010

What is your LO going to be? Are you and SO dressing up? MH and I have never been really big on celebrating and dressing up for Halloween but since we have a LO now, we've been invited to a couple of halloween parties with LOs and thought it would be fun to dress up as a family. So I made my husband's costume and he's going as a football, I'm a cheerleader and LO will be a panda (the mascot ;0))

Can't wait for M's first Halloween!

We're not dressing up, but Libby will be a bumble bee. We're taking her to a neighborhood festival called Boo Ha Ha which includes a pancake breakfast, costume contest (for kids and pets) and a parade. We've never been, but it seems the most baby-friendly.

Bella is going to be a lady bug, DH will be a spider and I'm going to be a bumble bee. We go to an annual Halloween party with friends the weekend of Halloween (this year it's on Saturday) and we all dress up. We did take her a pumpkin patch when the weather was nicer. We don't plan on doing anything else though... maybe we'll all dress up to answer the door for the treat or treaters!

Henry will be a monkey, but we actually don't have anywhere to go! Stick out tongue

Except....his daycare center has an infant Halloween party tomorrow starting at 3:00....I'll be a little late getting there, since I don't get out of work until 3:30 on Fridays, but I'll be there! On Halloween itself, I've considered taking him trick-or-treating just for Unicef (his daycare is collecting), but I might not....depends on the weather. Otherwise I suppose we'll just answer the door with him in his costume. I haven't had the energy to find one for myself this year.

DD is going to be a giraffe! (outfit from the gap https://www.gap.com/browse/outfit.do?cid=59026&oid=OUT20025 super cute & she could definitely wear it again) We are supposed to go to my cousin's house Saturday night for a party there & her street has a big block party each year. Sunday we may go to another block party (though there is also a Saints game that night so many of the Halloween parties are moved to Saturday - there were many groups trying to get trick-or-treating moved to Saturday night city-wide just so no one had to choose between Saints & Halloween!)

and this is me this year. DH & I were going to dress up as zookeepers, but I just didn't have the time/energy to get anything together. My first year not dressing up ever!!

I got a Tiger costume for K...since he was born in the Year of the Tiger

My hubby wanted to go as MC Hammer and I have no idea what to be! We were supposed to host our 1st family-oriented Halloween party, but due to hubby's work, we had to reschedule for the 2nd week in Nov. So, I'm just baking a cake and we'll dress K up in his costume for pictures

Hopefully, next year, we can celebrate on the actual day!

we're not dressing up, but we'll be home, handing out candy (hopefully!). we just moved to our neighborhood in august, and we *never* got trick-or-treaters before, so I'm looking forward to seeing the kids all dressed up!

We are going to a friends for a Hallowen party (kids & adults). We will be dressing up...my husband as Dr Oz and I as a nurse. Our daughter will be a Ladybug. We are not doing a family theme ;-( sigh... I wanted to do a Star Wars theme - Darth Vader, Queen Amadala and Princess Leah but my husband was being a party pooper and didn't want to wear a mask.

Funny... Because my LO is going to be the football and we're going to be football players. :-) Nice Fall theme!!

Friday -- Daycare has a party 2:30-3:30. She will be a pink skeleton b/c it's cute, comfy and that way she won't mess up her fball costume.

Sat -- 1st bday party, then maybe we can swing by another 1st bday/halloween bbq. Invited to a Halloween party that night and have babysitter but think we'll just do a movie.

Sun -- Kids apple cider making, parade and t/t at the Farmers Market downtown Bethesda 11 am / NAP / Neighborhood party and costume parade, 3-5pm / Trick-or-treating with Alexa!

This is very popular with my Asian friends, who also are doing Tiger costumes for their LOs

OMG, I just saw her costume in your blog and it's SO CUTE! Your mom is soooo talented (even though I knew that already from those pinafore dresses she made =P)! I LOVE the football dress...looks way better than all the pics you had for inspiration in the first place!

THIS! I love Alexa's costume!! Your mom is super talented.

and inamra - love the pooh/bee/beekeeper idea too!!

i never did end up buying the tiger costume, and now i'm kinda glad, b/c there were like, at least 3-4 kids at work today with that costume on. they were cute! but it's a little overdone, sigh Smile will have to be creative next year...
