I’m really not a great “costume” mom but last year I got pretty creative…I have 3 VERY blonde boys so I spray painted their hair black, curled one of them and dressed them up in some funky, hip outfits…instant Jonas Brothers! They looked really cute but it was really funniest for those that knew them to see all my boys with black hair! Then I sent emails to everyone with pics saying that the Jonas Brothers stopped by the house and we hung out:) Here’s pics if you’d like to take a look:

My husband and I are going to be Prof. Dumbledore and Prof. McGonagall for our Harry Potter party. Hopefully we won’t have too many Muggles show up for our party as I’m hoping for some great pictures!

My kiddos are going to be skunks

My 13 yr old son is a ninja this year. He’s between the kids and adult sized costumes so we had to improvise, but I think it turned out even better than the store costume! My 10 yr old daughter is a huge fan of the character Abby Scutio from NCIS, so this year she will be dressing like Abby. My daughter thinks forensic science is cool so the idea of being a goth forensic scientist was lots of fun for her. We even bought a lab coat and had NCIS stenciled on the pocket.

My one-year old daughter is going to be a lion! She looks soooo cute.

My daughter has two costumes this year (one from each grandma…LOL). So for our annual Trunk or Treat, she was a Spider Princess. She had this cute dress with spider web sleeves and the same material was over the bottom part of the dress. I made spiders out of black pom poms, pipe cleaners and wiggly eyes. I glued one to her headband. Then I made her candy bag out of a black pillow case and stitched one of our Halloween table mats to it (its a gray/black spiderweb), and pinned on another pom pom spider. She looked sooo cute. For Halloween night, she is going to be a superhero. We have a “Make your own superhero costume” kit. It came with a cape, mask, and wrist cuffs. I still have to figure out what she is going to wear and how I’ll add that extra ‘umpf’ to it. But I still have a week!

This year my kids are not dressing up, my daughter just wants bunny ears or wings (she’s 13) and I am going as a mom
But prior years my daughter dressed up a good witch and won first place in a costume contest.

I have four kids – two boys, and two girls. My 9 year old boy wanted to be Charlie Brown, and my 12 year old boy wanted to be snoopy. I wasn’t too excited until I found an idea on the internet to make paper mache Peanuts Character heads. I was inspired right away and went to work. I made 4 heads – Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, and Sally. At first I didn’t think they were that great, but once they put the heads on with all of the clothing – they looked AWESOME! We went out to the pumpkin patch for some pictures of “The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown”. I posted some images on my blog today – aliciacerva.squarespace.com!

My son is going to be a “cool ghoul” and my daughter has chosen raggedy ann. Although my favorite is when we have our every other year adult costume party. This year is an off year but last year was a rock superstar theme. I made a Bjork costume…remember the horrible feather swan dress – yes that was me. I was shedding feathers all night long but the costume was a hit.

I actuallly just wear a cat head band and color in a nose and whiskers. It’s boring but it leaves me plenty of flexibility to be warm and leave my hands free for photograping!

My girls are Cinderella and a kitty this year:)

My son turns 3 on Thursday! He LOVES Diego, so he is going to be Diego, complete with a rescue pack and a baby jaguar. I created the costume myself, so I’m really excited.

My daughter is 16 months (and ABUNDANT in personality and attitude), and loves ALL things girl (which I wouldn’t have thought possible so young!). She will be a fairy princess — you HAVE to see the picture. Her set is from Danbury Lane on ETSY. http://adventurepaces.smugmug.com/To-CAPTURE-the-moment/Commissioned/for-Danbury-Lane/princess-set-1/674260620_xLVx9-L.jpg

My daughter will be Tinkerbell this year. Happy Halloween to everyone!

My 4 year old grandson is going to be, as he says it “Spiderman Peter Parker”. His hero!

I will be a pumpkin for the church Fall festival this Saturday. I made my Granddaughter a bee costume and my Grandson a spider costume. I can’t wait to see them dressed in them on Saturday. Happy Halloween!

My 5yo will be the mischievous Captain Hook. My 3yo will be a helpful little Peter Pan, and my 1yo will be a sassy little Tinkerbell. My husband and I are going as Mr. Smee and Wendy. I’m so excited to have the whole family dressing up together this year. I figure it may be the last time it happens, so I better enjoy it.

my daughter is being a “tough” football player and my son and husband are dressing up in “good looking clothes” (a tie according to my son) with a “life size magnet” that says chick magnet (and we put a fake chick “the yellow furry kind on their shoulder”)

My son wanted to be Indiana Jones for halloween because he is totally obsessed with the Indiana Jones lego stuff, but we waited too long to get his costume, so he gets the next best lego character…..Darth Vader. He has no idea those characters are from movies that I used to watch, and if he did, he might not like them as much. LOL. My older daughter is going to be an Angel Princess. (She has been some kind of a princess for every one of her 5 halloweens). And my youngest daughter is also going to be a princess, with the pointy hat and all. So cute.

We’ve got a little black kitty cat, a werewolf, and Indiana Jones.

thanks so much.
this year my little boy is the black spiderman, and my little girl is a witch.

Halloween 2009 at MillerHQ is Star Wars. I always want my four kids to coordinate their costumes but inevitable someone wants to do something different. This year I convinced them to have a group theme. I hope everything turns out cute! Thanks for the fun contest!

This year I was a sexy cop and my husband was a burglar at a party. My 2yo and 4yo boys will be a firefighter and a police officer.

My favorite costume from when I was your girls age was a Black Widow costume my mom made for me. It had sets of “legs” that were attached to my arms. So when I moved my arms all the spider legs followed. I loved to hug my friends in all those spider legs!

I have 3 kids. My son, 6, is going to be Anakin from Star Wars. He’s so excited and even has a lightsaber to go along with his costume. My oldest daughter, 4, is going to be Tinkerbell. She just LOVES Tinkerbell and pretends to fly and spread Pixie Dust! And my youngest daughter, 3, is going to be Mickey Mouse. She is even going to have whiskers and a painted nose. Believe it or not, she is the only child that has become attached and interested in Mickey Mouse.

My little girl will be snow white (it is a costume that was worn by a friend of mine 15 years ago, and it is awesome – so well made). My older son will be a pirate, and my middle son will be spiderman (he says he’ll trap snow white in his web)….

My oldest daughter has had a fascination with The Wizards of Waverly Place recently! So, she is going to be the wizard Alex Russo! I am so happy she changed her mind and picked this one! She did want to be Hannah Montana, and I was afraid I would have lost her among a crowd of little Hannah’s!!! My son is going to be BumbleBee the Transformer, of course! He has had his mind set on that for months! And my little Maddybug is going to be a Ladybug!

My little boy will be 6 months old this week and just learned to sit up. We are so excited about this Halloween. He’s going to be a pirate!!

oh, my one daughter is dressing as a jelly fish. We got a BIG hat and covered it with blue cellophane and put shiny blue and silver ribbon coming down to her knees. She will wear blue clothes and it look so cute. My other daughter is dressing as a wood fairy, brown and green with orange flowers and wings. Wish I could post the picks. We already had one party and they turned out great!

My four-year-old’s answer to the question, “what are you going to be for halloween?” is “I’m going to be a sleeping beauty for the school party, barbie princess for the recital and a good witch for trick-or-treating”. Goodness. …She’s trick-or-treating with her best friend who is the most adorable Dorothy ever and her 1 yr old sister will be the lion. The adults will fight over who is OZ. Happy Halloween!

My oldest will be a wizard, the second is Indiana Jones, the third is Batman and finally my little girl is going to be a princess. Can’t wait for the fun!

No kiddos…no dress up this year. Our favorite “together” costumes…we went as mimes…dressed in all black plus of course the appropriate face makeup. We went to a party and wouldn’t talk all night…we even had the little “bike” horns we could use when we wanted to laugh. Everyone tried to “break” us and we just wouldn’t. We won for best costume that year…I think more for the fact that we stayed in character all night than for the actual costume probably. We had a ton of fun acting out everything we wanted to talk about!! ) What are the twins going to be this year? I like their Michigan cheerleader costumes!!! Was that last year?? )

My kids are going as: Clonetrooper Cody, Scooby Doo, Alice Cooper and Goofy. Yeah, they are a eclectic bunch!

This year, I went as Peter Parker to my university’s Halloween Ball. On October 31st, I’ll be at our homecoming game in costume, camera in hand. It’s kind of dorky but I love it.

PS: Ellie and Jenna look super cute in their 2009 costumes.

My husband and I are attending a “haunted speakeasy” Halloween theme party, so he is a dead gangster from the 1920s and I’m his dead “flapper girl” girlfriend. The 4 & 2 year old girls (who won’t see our scary costumes) are going trick-or-treating as a cowgirl and an 80s rocker.

I’ve been a girl scout, a Hershey’s Kiss, and a pig when I was really young!

My children will be dressing up for our Harvest festival as Batman and Batgirl. We don’t usually dress up for the occassion so this will be a fun deviation. The templates are really wonderful. Thanks for this contest as well as all of your others Jodi.

I think I’m going to the a ghost, the old school kind made from a sheet from the charlie brown specials. ha! My girls will be a butterfly and a chicken respectively. My hubby is undecided…he better get crackin’!

I love halloween… my 3 daughters are dressing up as:
1. A Doctor (she’s in High School and this is about as dressed up as she will get!!)
2. A pink POWER PUFF girl, she and 2 of her friends are going to school as the Power Puff girls, too cute.
3. Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, complete with red sparkly shoes and Toto (stuffed) in a basket.
Me…Mean-Ol-Mommy…which I do so well and doesn’t take much make-up!!

Never dressed up for halloween and don’t have children to dress up. I grew up in a plain Christian Mennonite family and we never celebrated Halloween, because we were taught its the devils holiday.

I have a 1 year old and a 6 year old, both boys…no cool princesses for me. This year my one year old is a sweet puppy from “The Pokey Little Puppy” book and my 6 year old is going to be Indiana Jones. We have had a dog, a John Deere farmer, a piarate and a policeman in years past!

My boys are going to be Naruto (Ninja Anime) and Konahamaru (the little boy who looks up to Naruto and fallows him around – perfect for a little brother).

this year, my 4 yr old twins (sam and cora) have decided to be thumbalina, and spiderman. my 2 yr old will be a pink poodle, and my 4 month old will be a big pumpkin

This year my 6 year old girl wanted to be a flower. So my sister helped make a flower head piece with petals cut from craft foam. Then we cut the bottom out of a plastic flower pot and put “suspenders” of yarn so she can wear it around her waist. We also made “leaves” from foam to wear like a bracelet. Final touch, a watering can, for her Trick or Treat bag. My 4 year old son L-O-V-E-S The Flash, so how could I deny him that. Cheap store bought costume, but he thinks it is the greatest!

Remember the super stellar show FAMILY DOUBLE DARE on Nickelodeon? Well, hubbie and I are going as contestants from the red team, sweats and all! And since just about every challenge on the show entailed them filling some kind of clear bucket to the red line with slime, I will be sporting a lovely bucket with a red line stuck to my head. Throw in knee pads, chin straps, elbow pads and the ever so 90′s inside out ponytail and you’ve got our totally tubular outfits! Gnarly! Just hope I pull the flag out of the nose in time!

My daughter is going to be a clown. A friend of mine gave it to us. Now we’re just hoping for nice weather. Thanks for the giveaway. The templates are great!

I have Jack Sparrow (pirate), an astronaut, and a 50′s girl. They are all very cute and love their costumes this year. We just went to a party today and had a chance to wear them.

Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize pack!

I have three little girls, all of whom adore princesses. They each have their favorite and are dressing as them for Halloween. My 5 yr old is Ariel, my 4 year old is Belle, and my 2 year old is Cinderella. There is no way I am able to wear a princess dress well, so I think I am going to wear a t shirt that has “Mom of 3 sweet princesses” put on it and maybe if I am feeling festive a tiara just for fun for me too.

I’m not too much of a costume person however this past Saturday I did go to a Halloween party as a cheerleader I raided my daughters’ closet and borrowed one of her uniforms. My 4 yr old son is going to be Bumblebee transformer, my older daughters (18 & 20) do dress up still when they go to parties, however it is not in a costume I’d would ever wear! LOL! They have been in the past the “sexy” versions of Little Bo Peep, Strawberry Shortcake, Heidi, Beer Girl etc..you get the message! HAHA!

We always dress up for Halloween, it’s so much fun!! The best year was when I made a Vampire costume for my daughter who was 6 and made a Bat costume for my son who was a baby. It was a black sleeper with batwings sewn on so he was comfy and warm. Only problem was we used the wrong hair product to slick back my daughter’s hair, it took days to get it all out!

I have 7 kidos, and one grandaughter. She will be a Tinkerbell.
I will have a fireman, dracula, thriller dancer, soccer player, scream monster, witch, and himself hehehe.
The funnest part for our family this year is one son has made his hall way and room a haunted house. with monsters, desk with pumkins, and a desk with skull, material hallway ect. this will be a halloween to rememeber for sure.
