Halloween

I know it is a little early, but I am dying to know what everyone is dressing their babies as for Halloween! 

Re: Halloween

  • I am probably going to find a costume for either an astronaut or fireman. He is walking, so I can't put him in anything that will limit his mobility at all or he won't stand for it. There are so many cute costumes, but they're really not reasonable for an active baby to be in for even an hour.

  • I don't have kids, but am dressing up my dog.  The kids in our old neighborhood always loved Doug's costumes, so it became a kind of tradition.  Not sure where we'll be for Halloween, but we are going to an event for the rescue that I used to volunteer with, so he will at least dress up then.

    This is what I am going to attempt to make:

  • A monkey!  I already got the costume and have tried it on him...it's really cute.

    I saw one at Old Navy and thought it was the cutest thing ever.

  • It is usually SO hot here this time of year- still. But we'll play it by ear. I want to find a lightweight Hungry Caterpillar costume. I was inspired by the one in pottery barn but he needs something much, much more light weight than that if we are going to dress him up. 

    Maybe if that works I can make some butterfly wings for P? 

    Otherwise, he has a lightweight tee with bats on the front and on the sleeves to wear :)

  • I wasn't going to do a costume but did buy a onesie & pumpkin hat... DH is adamently opposed to it... We don't get kids coming to our doors so maybe we'll head to my parents place and walk around. They don't get a lot of kids either...
  • Pup-  that is super cute! 

    Lady E- I can't wait to see what you pick out.  

    Punky- I am in love with the PBK costumes.  They are adorable.

    Ohhh!

    Carter's has so many sweet pumpkin-y outfits, but they all stop at 9 months :( 

     

  • I just looked at the PBK costumes- so cute! DS hates anything on his head though. He rips hats off immediately. Really, he would love to be a nudist. I don't know what costume I'm going to find for him. *sigh*

  • I used to dress the dog up in a leprachaun costume but he looked a little creepy... I really want to find some doggie spectacles and he can wear his argyle sweater... he tends to look like a creepy old man normally so I just like to go with that.

    My dog refuses to wear anything.  Ha ha ha.  I wish he would.  He would look so cute!

    Mesa81- that sounds freakig adorable.  I have a turtleneck sweater if you would like to borrow it and your dog is about 50 lbs like Doug. 

    Camedowncrushing- Doug does not seem to mind.  He has been a rabbi and a skunk and also has a Security wifebeater, a turtleneck sweater, and a jacket.  In my defence the sweater and the jacket are because he is short coated and gets cold really easily and the wife beater was  from my mom who thinks it's funny to dress him.  Doug also does not seem to think he is a dog, so he might not be the norm.

    That is hilarious.  DoggieCrushing gets very hot....so maybe that is the problem.

    Thanks pup but he's only 21 lbs! This was when I tried to torture him with a lobstah costume. He was not thrilled.

  • We were going to dress the dog up as Nikki Sixx, since he has some pretty spectacular 80s rocker bangs. I was going to get him a spiked collar and everything.

    But  then we bought him a raincoat for the hurricane, and I think he'll just  be the Gorton fisherman.

  • These doggie costumes are so adorable!
  • Last night DS got to wear his halloween pjs because it was chilly! He wouldn't sit still for a cute picture this morning... He was too busy emptying the cabinets. So these are the best I could get.

    Thanks ladies. They aren't the best pictures of him, but I was mostly just trying to show off his pjs.
