My 2 y/o is being Dorothy (from Wizard of Oz) or as she says, "Dorfy"- my mom is sewing up the little blue pinafore and I got the red shoes and the basket, SO cute on a tiny tot! She was really into the movie all summer so she decided this herself.
My 5 y/o decided to go with the Oz theme and be Glinda the Good witch. We're doctoring up one of those cheapo disney princess costumes to make it look less Sleeping Beauty and more Glinda... I did order the Glinda hat/crown online for 7 bucks and it just makes it.

My son (23 months) is going to be Rocky Balboa! My husband found flag swim trunks for him last year in October and he had to get them for him. I am making a robe for him, and we got boxing gloves, but I don't think he will wear them. He also has a grey sweatsuit with a black cap and converse sneakers that he wore for his "training."

My husband and I have decided that we will make a little video each Halloween of him and our upcoming baby. This year it is the Eye of the Tiger, and last year we did the star wars song because our boy was Yoda.

My 5 yo DD is dressing up as candy corn fairy - she's got a dress as well as hair boppers and wings that look like candy corn, with the white, orange and yellow. Unfortunately tomorrow they are predicting rain, strong winds, and temps in the lower 40s, so I don't know how it will work out with being bundled up!

My son is 5. He wore the costume that my mother sent him last weekend to the botanical gardens. They have a pumpkin patch, and sometimes have some Halloween decorations. This year must have been a bad year for their pumpkins because they only had three. He was a train engineer with overalls, a bandana, hat and gloves. It was cute and he can wear it minus the bandana and gloves for regular clothes afterwards.

We went trick- or- treating with my friends English conversation school on Saturday afternoon. My church also had a Halloween party. My son picked out a firefighter costume for trick-or-treating and the party. Even though we ordered it early, we didn't have time to return it. It was a little big, but we somehow made it work. He may be able to use it next year too if he wants. Or at least he can have a lot of time to play dress up with it. He may even be able to use the jacket as his jacket this fall and then again in the spring. It's just starting to feel like fall this week.

Then today, he took the bandana and put it on his head and told me he was going to be a pirate for the day. He is currently dancing around wearing his fish shaped hat on his head with a snake stuffed animal wrapped around his waist, mittens on his hands, and his cowboy boot slippers on his feet. He just told me that he is Super Fish-snake boy. He is holding an empty saran wrap paper roll in one hand (his sword) and his little people airport umbrella in the other (his shield.) Halloween is so much fun.

I wanted to be a bumble bee this year, but didn't have enough time to make a costume. I was going to use yellow tape on a black shirt, a funnel for the stinger, and a swim cap on my head, and a hanger with some tuille wrapped around it for wings. But like usual, I ended up wearing my old cat ears and tale and painting my face instead.

It's already Halloween here.

My oldest (13) is going to be an army man. Dressing in the fatigues that my brother in law gave him. And a hat the was my daddys. And my youngest 10 is going as a gymnast. We didn't have the money this year to get new costumes so we decided to get creative. My youngest will wear his competition wind suite and his gold medal he won at his first competition. My youngest I think was upset but he's gotten over it.

My children are going to be zombies. My daughter, 9 is going to be similar to the ones on The Walking Dead whereas my son who is 5 will probably only let me put a tiny bit of costume makeup on him so we'll see how that goes. We're staying in watching movies no ToTing seeing as the weather is nasty and besides this gives us a chance to relax on a school night.

My seven year old is a spider. She never wants anything traditional (in the sense that we can go buy it), so we always have to make her costumes from scratch. When she two she wanted to be a pancake...we made a pancake costume.

My two year old is a pirate. She's a younger two and doesn't "really" get the idea, but she LOVES pirates, so I just figured we'd go with that. Knowing her, however, she will balk and throw a fit at the idea of wearing a costume.
