Kids' Halloweem Costumes
 

Well the Baby Mama Drama Response Unit has been officially activated!!! I have 2 of my daughters planning to dress as Sundae for Halloween because they think she is "kewl"!! LOL. My oldest girl is going as the Mad Hatter. I'll be posting pics as they work on their costumes.

What are your children dressing as???

Corpse Bride

ninja banana

Maybe this should go in the "Blue laws" thread,
but PDX schools have banned Halloween and costumes this year.

It's not clear if they are using a vailed (religious) reason or dress code.
In any case, the holiday is now going to be a "Harvest" celebration
Once again I realize why I would not want to be a school administrator... no one is happy.

I liked what one (unhappy) parent said:

A 'Zombie Army Man" and a 'Kitty Kat'.

I'm going to answer the door to trick or treaters with a blood-oozing slash on my right cheekbone. I'll be one of Dexter's victims.

Bacon, a mage, and a Kim Possible character.

A mailman, and probably a pumpkin.

My nephew wants to be a red macaw. Uh....he was inspire by the movie Rio. Does he want to be Blu? Nopes, the red macaw, he said. Strange boy.

Early version of my oldest daughter's costume sans make-up and hair color

I want that outfit - especially the tights!

Ron Weasley
Washington Monument rappeller

Nevermind, apparently minds have been changed again. Now he's Buzz Lightyear, and she's a pirate.

This summer my youngest niece (was 5 almost 6) told her mom, when her mom asked her what theme she wanted for her birthday party: there are two things you never have to ask me, what I want for my birthday party (spongebob) and what I want to be for halloween (cat.)

We're saving all the spongebob pinatas to decorate her future spongebob wedding.

Sarge she looks gorgeous!
Make sure you tell her.

Thank you Sundae & Bri

Here she is at school with a friend. On Halloween she is coloring her hair to match her dress. When asked why, she says Sundae does it. LOL

That's a pretty good reason (just don't tell her how much I drink...!)

She looks great there. I assume her friend is dressed up too? Or am I really out of touch with male teen fashion...?!

her friend is dressed as a mafioso. btw addie is dressing as pinkalicious and will have pink hair. abby is going to be a rock star with pink hair. btw, the girls are still going crazy over the candy. they really love the smarties

My daughter just won 1st place at the middle school costume party for her Washington Monument rappeller costume! $15 iTunes card. Sweet!

woo hoo.

.

very cool, glatt! there's something amiss with the scale, though.... lol.

no really... that's really good. topical, too! the neighbors will understand the costume, you think?

edit: just noticed she won 1st place. I guess that means they got it. ;)

again, nice job Ruffs

Glatt she has your elegant neck.
Lucky girl.

Yay Glatt's Daughter!

Cool! I was wondering how she was differentiating hers from a generic "climber" costume... I think she is readily identifiable, especially in a neighborhood where people saw the rappellers first hand. Very nice.

Thanks, all!

It was a bit of a challenge coming up with the right scale. It had to be small enough to fit through doorways and allow her to sit down. But it needed to be as big as possible to convey the sense of scale. It's roughly the top 3rd of the monument. If we did the entire monument, it would look like a pencil on her back.

So the whole thing was an exercise in trade-offs, but in the end, I think it works. Everyone at the party, including several teachers, loved it. She was really excited when she got back from the school party.

That is teh awesome!

Shego
 

.

Okay, i'm clearly unhip and out of touch ... what's she meant to be?

No more so than me. It's a Kim Possible character, apparently.

Excellent rendition, thereof!

She is the awesome!

Great costume.

I also have no idea who that is, but her costume looks good!

glatt, I just saw your daughter's costume. Also very cool!


Geez, we only did ghosts and witches and gypsies and such.

All the Dwellar childer look teh awesome.

Monster, did you make that costume? I also am entirely unaware of the character, but from that picture she is totally it. And, even without the character in mind she looks fucking amazing. Like she just stepped off the set of the Avengers or something.

@ Sarge: y'know...your eldest lass does have a bit of a Sundae look to her. If someone were to present that photo to me along with a photo of Sundae when she's got it all going on, and then told me she was Sundae's younger cousin, I wouldn't blink an eye at that.


Oh, also: 'Smarties' also known as 'Kiddy Crack' :p

all the kids look great!

I want that Kim Possible outfit for IRL, ok?

;)

very cool everyone!

Insert desired political party

... for some reason, this costume makes all the candy taste like crap.

And yet cost twice as much...go figure

Hebe looks awesome, Monster.
But did you not consider getting her a huge pair of silicone knockers with erect nips?
Verisimilitude and all that ;)

Just had a visit from what I think will be our last T&Ters of the night.
Out with two teenage sisters/ Aunties, but the littlest one couldn't have been more than three.
Hmmmm. Still - each to their own.

We had a minor flurry of children with Mums earlier, which I put down to my colour changing LED skull from the Pound Shop, which you can see easily from the path, and my pink grapefruit in lieu of a pumpkin, beside the front door. Yes it's small, but again it says, "Come and call, we are child friendly."

At school we've just come back after our half-term break, and one of the boys in our class had a Halloween Birthday Party on Saturday. I think a lot of parents treated that as Halloween for their children, as they got to dress up and eat sugar. They were probably relieved.

There's quite a bit of hostility to Halloween over here.
It's often derided as an American import, even though we exported it to you in the first place.
It's funny, because on one side you have the fundies who believe it is teh evil and want it banned.
And on the other side the lentil eaters who think it is all about capitalism and want it banned.
And then the pensioners who just like to moan about the youth of today despite terrorising their own neighbours with games like Knock Down Ginger.

EVERY child tonight took one item from the bowl I prompted them to take more.
EVERY child tonight said thank you.
And many said, "Happy Halloween" when I opened the door rather than "Trick or Treat"

It was a joint effort.

I have not seen her since 6:45 this morning :( She is too old to be at home for Halloween now and had beest drive her straight from swim practice to a friend's He's off to get her right now.

hector's bacon costume turned out ok too.... will post when have energy....

here's abby, the dispatcher's daughter, with her tribute to sundae. picture sent to me courtesy of her mom

Some of you might have noticed I've had no pics recently of Bryanna lately. Her mother has been on a binge lately & is keeping us apart. Remember Bryanna is not my biological child so I have no rights. Anyway, here's Addie in her Strawberry Shortcake costume tonight. One of the houses had a cotton candy machine. Anyone notice the pink highlights in Abby & Addie's hair being identical? That's because they did them together trying to look like the "pretty lady" in the pictures who sent the candy.

Here's a picture of me as the Big Bad Wolf and SonofV as Skull Kid wearing Majora's Mask. He made the mask (DIY thread to follow). I made my mask too.

Pics of your girls look wonderful, Sarge.
Sorry that Bryanna is currently being other-parented. Sadly.

Blimey V, you look like a younger Tim Finn.
And that is meant in a nice way.
SonofV's mask is a piece of art.

Very cool. I never finished that game. Got bored of having to redo the same stuff at different times of the game-day. And that annoying guy that kept bugging me about inane shit ... Tingle.

The Boy was a Ninja Banana. Not the best pose to display this costume, but you get the gist:

The Girl was the Corpse Bride:

and their cousin was The Stay Puft man.... costume came with a battery powered air blower like those lawn ornament things do..... great costume....until the battery died, and his Dad had to run all the way home for fresh ones....

Ninja banana??? Kid, that's two years worth of costumes you're using up there. :lol:

There must be some kind of fad amongst the pre-teen and tween sets to do stuff like that. Friend's kid was some sort of Frog-Dog thingy. Her 13 year old sister has always marched to a different Halloween drummer as well. She has gone as Bunnicula (or maybe that was her sister), a bunny rabbit vampire who drinks the blood of carrots ... it's a kid's book series I never heard of, was some kind of gene-spliced monster with bright feathers from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and this year has branched out into app characters ... no Angry Bird for her, though. She was a nyan cat or a cat nyan or whatever the fuck you call a cat with a waffle strapped to it.

I don't get the waffle. Buttered toast on the back of a cat, absolultely. But a waffle? No butter, no syrup.

It's only a Nyan Cat if it shits rainbows.

Wow, I'm surprised it's still around. That was a popular series when I was a kid.

It's supposed to be a Pop Tart, not a waffle.

Apparently there are several variations of the Nyan Cat, and she prefers the Waffle. (Ah, it's Tac Nayn, Nyan Cat's evil twin. Thank you googly overlords.)

pouty bacon

HA! How cute!

Bacon has just realised hands don't reach mouth...

I love all of these.

HAhahahaaaahaaaaaa ... damn! So much candy ... must eat candy ... agghghghghhhh!

That is a great skull kid/majora's mask. Can't wait to see the how to thread.
