These kids steal the show constantly so tell me what you are dressing up as this year.
We go to an after-Halloween party every year. It's pretty brilliant because they stock up on the decorations at clearance price. I'll be attempting my first diy costume - ice cream sundae. I see several hobby lobby trips in my very near future.
I'm going to be boring. K is a dragon (Blaze, the UAB Blazers mascot, to be exact) so MH and I are just going to wear UAB gear. Kind of a cop out, but, like you said, the LO's steal the show anyway!
I'm going to be the Little Red Riding Hood. I have the cape like thing from a few years back, and I'm just pulling it out of storage, baking cookies and putting them in a basket and hope that the fresh baked cookies will make my friends less likely to say something about wearing the same costume twice (we do our Halloween party the week-end after Halloween, so everyone can come).
Our family and our best friends will be going as a big Wizard of Oz group:
Me: Wicked Witch DH: Scarecrow Owen: Tin Man Lily: Dorothy BFF: Lion BFF's DH: The Wiz BFF's 3 year old: Glinda BFF's 18 month old: Mayor of Munchkinland
We're going as a family unit, Charlie has a feminine Dr. Who outfit and I'm a dalek with a shirt and beanie and Dave is the Tardis with a shirt, he got a blue beanie with a light attached to the top, and he painted his beard and face blue.
Even a minor event in
the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world
event.
We were planning to do The Doctor (TheBoy), a companion (me) , and the Tardis (E). But I'm lazy and out of time, so I'm going to also be a suburban housewife handing out candy.
Assuming I stop and buy candy. I'm way on top of it this year.
The theme of the Halloween party we go to every year was Disney (requested by me since Robert was Mickey Mouse). I dressed up as Michael Darling from Peter Pan with adult-size footie pajamas from Target.
