Halloween

Is anyone wearing a costume? What are you going to be?

[SuzySunshine]

We're having a party - going costume shopping this weekend so I'll keep you posted!

[Stella]

I am! Our clients all dress up too, so we are going to dress up and go play at the clients' offices that day. I am thinking about being a golfer. Anyone have a good goofy golf hat I can borrow?

I don't recall the last time I dressed up but hubby thinks we should go to a department party on the 28th, because it's "kind of a big deal". Thing is, I'll be 10 days overdue or have a very tiny newborn at that point. So I'm not putting a lot of thought into costumes.

Actually, anyone have suggestions for a costume that would work if I'm still pregnant? I'm seriously not creative enough...

Alison, the most obvious one that comes to mind- dress in orange and go as a pumpkin. Wear a green hat.

SO dept have there retrat up the mountains on the 3rd and are having a halloween thing on the 4th, they said its 50:50 that dress up. there is not a hope in hell SO will dress up as he said to me 'you know which 50 i'll be in' and thinks we'll be doing our part by dressing ds up! not sure weather to dress up or not.

[DCJenn]

Nope. Unless you count dressing like an employee as something.

Nikolai has a parade so I guess I'd better come up with something soon. I think Rick will be going to work as an Army doctor- fatigues and all!

I hate Halloween. I hate adult Halloween parties. I hate teenagers knocking on my door at 9pm and then getting pissy when I don't answer.
I much prefer the Mexicans way of celebrating the Day of the Dead. (pack a picnic and go hang out with your dead relatives in the cemetary.)

I was preggers last Halloween and wore a black maternity dress with black tights, my hunny (ortho caveman) cut out felt bones for me and I cut out a little skeleton baby and went as a skeleton....pretty cute actually and not too much work!

Alison, put on a trucker hat, a wifebeater, some pants and make a "beard" for yourself, and dress your husband up as your trashy lady. The belly makes a starkly convincing "beer gut".

Ooh, I like that one!

Thanks for all the suggestions, y'all are much more creative than I.

So we decided on our costumes - We're going to be Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Seuss. We bought red sweats and clown wigs which we'll spray paint blue! I'll sew a white circle on each sweatshirt that says Thing 1 or Thing 2. It will probably be the most comfortable costume we've ever done!

that's fabulous! I wish the boys were still ages where i could foist their costume upon them. i'd totally do it! dh actually calls them thing 1 and thing 2.

I dressed Emma and Brigham up as Thing 1 and Thing 2, a couple of years ago- they looked so cute. I sprayed Brigham's hair blue, and did Emma's in cute twisty pig tails. I didn't spray Emma's hair b/c of the warning on the can, cautioning against spraying on blondes.

When I was pregnant with Emma, I went as Farmer Brown, and dh was a cow. The only thing I could fit in and feel comfortable in was overalls.

I haven't dressed up since college. One year my friends thought it'd be fun to dress me up as an underage prostitute (I was skinnier, flatter and looked about 15). DH came when we were just about done and had a fit. Needless to say I had to change.

Jenn, I also pretend not to be home on Halloween and mute the TV when the doorbell rings.

[Stella]

I am going to be a golfer this year at work. The weekend before I might be Marilyn again but I haven't decided.

We're going to be a barmaid, a cowboy, and a duck.
