Halloween costumes?

DS will be a chicken, and I am trying to figure out how to make an egg costume for DD.  What will your little one be? And, if they have siblings/friends for trick or treat, will they go together as a theme, like Mickey and Minnie?

Re: Halloween costumes?

  • DD is going to be snow white. She doesn't have siblings so no theme. My sister has dressed her kids up as a theme many times. Jockey and horse, princess leia and darth vader, wonder woman and spider man.

  • DS will be Mr. Potatohead.
  • Nice! I like the costumes guys. Sometimes we do themes, like the girls did Disney Princesses one year, and witches another. The only costume I know for sure this year is S - she is going to use K's old children's place flower costume. L isn't dressing up, the girls change their minds every 5 minutes. I might just make them Frankenstein old costumes.

    I am so jealous! I wanted to make Sydney a chicken, but I couldn't pull it off the way I wanted. Now, she will be a sea otter :)

    As far as making your DD an egg... how about two large pieces of foam from Michaels, cut into ovals and hot glued together? You could make a "cracked" hat out of the same foam. Orange or yellow tights, and your done.

    Please post pics of the chicken and egg - I love that whole idea!

  • Ellie is going to be Raggedy Ann, and I was hoping to find a cute Raggedy Andy costume for Noah but all I could find was a generic "rag doll" costume that didn't really look right.  Then I was going to do a Pumpkin for Noah, but DH asked if he could be something "more manly" so now he is going to be Superman, lol!

  • DD will be Sleeping Beauty again (2nd time) and DS will likely be a monster/dinosaur if the hand-me-down costume fits.  So they don't coordinate, just go with what I got!

  • DS is going to be Alvin.  I'm making the costume.  I figured since he won't be "trick or treating" I'll do something easy and cheap.  No siblings to do a theme but I do wish my nephews were nearby (they're in NJ, I'm in VA) to be Simon and Theodore.

    The main reason he is being a chicken is I found the costume at a rummage sale, so it was a no brainer.  For the egg for DD, I am concerned about using anything stiff, as she is not walking right now.  I'll keep everyone posted.  Otherwise, the costume ideas sound great!

  • I brought a cute manly/lady bug costume.  SO said it's for girls.  Why did they have to name that bug a ladybug!? My MIL brought him a Tigger outfit so I have two choices. I prefer the manlybug outfit though.
  • We'll probably used the hand-me-down Monkey costume our neighbor gave us.  I have to roll up the pantlegs, but it should keep him warm enough.

  • at 3 months I'm not sure what to dress him as?  I've always hated Halloween - the first 2 kids would spend *weeks* picking out their costumes only to decide at the VERY last minute that they didn't want to be THAT!!  So it's always been frustrating and I finally at some point stopped buying costumes out of utter frustration. 

    Now I don't want to let that affect LO but I'm still not in the spirit 100% - I need to work on that!
