Hi everyone,

Halloween is right around the corner!

Do you know what YOU are going to be this year?

I more enjoy the idea of somehow creating a costume, cutting out paper wings and glueing them together and on you if you are going to be a bee or something, for example.

This year, I have decided that I'd like to wear a wig. But that's as far as I've gotten. I'm quite clueless!

Anyone have any suggestions for me? Funny costume stories (and nightmares) are also welcome!

Rachna06, I have an advantage over most people on Halloween since my face looks like a permanent Halloween mask.

I have one special post that I will make close to Halloween. I think everyone will like it. I already have it planned.

I don't have any specific suggestions for you. I always like to see people dressed like animals. I think it would be funny for a bunch of people to dress like realistic looking animals on Halloween and go to a zoo.

Looking forward to reading the Halloween post, Larwee!

Speaking of dressing up as realistic-looking animals, back in college, one of my best friends Corey, was dressed as a really colorful bird...I mean, REALLY colorful. He's really tall and he had on quite the large red cardboard beak and all.

We were walking over to a party in the evening and I think he scared a couple of small children! I still remember a little boy hiding behind his mom as we walked by.

Well I'm not dressing up buy just took my 2 year old grand daughter out to get her costume. We already have the most beautiful white feather angel wings and white feather halo. But shes funny about wearing certain things and the feather scare her so doesn't like to wear it.

So I said maybe if we take her shopping and let HER pick the costume she wants she'll wear it. She loves Elmo, so we thought she'd like that one. But she wouldnt even try it on. It was hot in the store and it was a really thick furry costume. She just kept saying "Elmo hot" (She's just starting to talk and say 2 word sentences).

She picked Winnie the Pooh and wore it all through Toys R Us for about an hour while we shopped. We wanted her to wear it to be sure she'd leave it on. We kept asking her if she' like to be Elmo or a Princess or Tigger. She kept saying "just Pooh." So that was it - he made her decision and even though Pooh would not have been my choice she looked SOOOOOO adorable.

Shoot I had my new Flip video camera in my purse and forgot to take a video.
Could have showed you guys.

i looooove halloween and am also stuck for a good costume idea this year. I think (for adults at least) the quirky, homemade costumes are always the best, and a wig is a good place to start

Linda, your grandaughter sounds adorable! I used to love staying home and handing out treats so that I could see all of the toddlers in their adorable little costumes

Thanks Julia, she is pretty adorable!

Tomorrow AM I'm taking off for a couple hours, which I seldom do.
Allie's play group is dressing up in costumes and going to a pumpkin patch
that has a petting zoo and other fun kid stuff. I never take off to go to her play group, so am excited to meet all her friends and take video of all the Halloween festivities with my new Flip camera.

Maybe if my video turns out and I can get it uploaded I'll post it here.

My dressed up as a bag of groceries a few years ago. I had a baguette, box of cereal, some grapes and fruits over flowing from the top.

I had way too much fun making my costume than wearing it. I think I may have to it revive the costume idea again this year. Maybe I'll be a shopping cart instead!

Ohhhh, the possibilities. I am sort of still hoping that I can still find a lobster suit. Oh how I would love to be a glorious red homard from the Atlantic.

I found the picture of my wonderful grocery store bag costume, made with love:

I guess I ate the baguettes.

Thats a SUPER cute idea! Very creative!

It's funny because NONE of the kids in the play group (about 8 kids)
looked like they had fun in any of the videos. I think they were a little
too young for this and the costumes and all the people sorta scared
and overwhelmed them. Maybe next year they'll enjoy it more.
The Moms had fun though!
