- Daschunds as hot dogs. I hate costumes on dogs, but this one cracks me up!
- Couple dressed as elderly husband & wife, cross-dressed
- our friends have passed around an infant Yoda costume, which is adorable.
- I made my brother, J, a dog costume once that was pretty outstanding... he won 1st place at two parties that year!
- I love me a chubby baby as a pumpkin, a lobster or any other creature!
- I was once a bag of jelly beans: balloons stuffed into a clear plastic trash bag.
- My mom dressed me and my brothers as the California Raisins once, also, involved trash bags
- My best friend, Sylvie, dresses her baby up in a dragon costume (first her oldest: he wore it twice , and her newest, he'll be in it on Monday!)--- but the costume is SO big and the baby's so small, it's known to friends as the "dragon-eating-the-baby" costume. :)
- a sweet little Indian girl came to our door last year as "Jasmin" from Alladin...I oohed and ahhed over her costume, but she set me straight: it wasn't a costume, it was "what my mom made me wear to my cousin's wedding." lol... well, that's one wedding outfit that did double duty!
- and lastly, I loved the year my brother was mailbox. My mom made him look like a real USPS mailbox... :)
Remember, if you are trick'or'treating in my neighborhood on Halloween: No Costume, No Candy. As PC said to one kid last year "if you are in a dark hoodie, carrying a sack in the middle of the night, i'm going to assume you are robbing me, not looking for a kit kat!"
We don't get a lot of trick or treaters since we are on a side street but we do insist they be in costume before they get any candy.
ReplyDeleteThat's too cute about the 'dragon eating the baby' costume!
ReplyDeleteAlso... I wish I had your guts to say no... I'm always scared that if I say no to teenagers in their dark hoodies trick or treating, I'll end up with a house covered in eggs... I'd rather be short a couple bags of chips!
