Big orange trash bag stuffed with newspaper = pumpkin. Blue sweat pants, red dish towel stapled to the back of your shirt, duct taped S on the front of your shirt colored red with permanent marker = superman.<br /><br />M: I am totally envious of your California raisin costume; I think I know what I want to go as next year, seriously the best costume ever! And they don't make glasses like that anymore, mainly because all that glass is too expensive...and if a kid wears those they are bound to get wedgies, but somehow I made them look cool.<br /><br />N: Awesome, real or fake fruit? If it was me I would have totally wanted the real fruit, so what if it weighs 10 pounds....pain = great costume.<br /><br />P.S. I am available to help with your future embarrassing costumes. I'll bring my sewing machine, tape, and markers.Wrestling Kittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215343504044584811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-40880117226637260932009-10-28T09:19:06.851-07:002009-10-28T09:19:06.851-07:00Oh my gosh, those are too fun.

No.<br /><br />My favorite costume was when I went as Carmen Miranda. My fruit had was KILLER!!!

Whoa, Jenn! We should have a Halloween bash every year, and all the kids can get together in their costumes and go Trick-or-Treating together! :DSad Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159572408723203857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-49724552764284819242009-10-22T06:42:29.318-07:002009-10-22T06:42:29.318-07:00These are the best!

I think you were still trying to be the pumpkin so of course you HAD to have the orange sweatshirt :)<br /><br />I had some pretty good costumes in my day. My Mom made mine too. The BEST ONE EVER was the year I was Batman. She made the whole headpiece and it was perfect! Then I just wore black sweatshirt and sweatpants with the Batman logo on my chest. So cool!<br /><br />And one year I was a California raisin. I had a garbage bag that sat on top of my head and covered my body, with black tights, white gloves and my turquoise converse high tops. Plus we made a tuxedo shirt out of posterboard and that was taped to my chest. It pretty much rocked. <br /><br />I fear for my kids, I don't have a ton of craftiness in me to make such things. I like to be clever with costumes, I'm just not great at the execution of them. <br /><br />More photos please!<br /><br />(p.s. The glasses kill me! I can't believe they made them like that. Kids today probably wear those kinds of glasses and call that their Halloween costume.Mickey D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17620616229471362241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-39311923062399600382009-10-22T05:32:46.627-07:002009-10-22T05:32:46.627-07:00P.S.

My first 'costume' (my junior year of college) involved throwing on an Army shirt and camo pants to go with my black Docs, making me - wait for it - someone in the Army.<br /><br />My senior year of college I was a belly dancer.<br /><br />That's all I got.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414499510670559508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-55022927586510861012009-10-22T05:30:58.218-07:002009-10-22T05:30:58.218-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414499510670559508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31637068.post-29723512871539048732009-10-21T18:55:58.087-07:002009-10-21T18:55:58.087-07:00Um, this is awesome. :) Your mom rocks!

My parents were WAY into Halloween, which is why I think I like it so much. They used to run haunted trails for their church group! I still have a pair of skelleton gloves that my dad painted. They are the coolest things. He used my mom's white gloves from prom to make them, haha! <br /><br />I unfortunately am not that skilled in making clothes so I've never made my kids' costumes. I know, GASP! can you believe it? My mom has made a few for them - I'll have to dig those photos out too. <br /><br />This was an awesome post - LOVED IT!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729168630526845332noreply@blogger.com
