Halloween Pics 2006: Post 'em if you got 'em!

[Jo..]

I know some of you (like me) are already trying those costumes on and pulling out the camera. So let's get going with the pictures!


I'll start.

[denna]

OMG! ROFL :D How funny is that! We just got our costume last night (ordered online), I will trying on the costume tonight and try to post pics shortly.

Thanks for the laugh!

[mommyoftwo]

Jo, thanks to that picture, my husband is now going to leave me and run off with you. ;) Seriously, he's been wanting to get that costume for himself since he first saw it a couple of years ago. Bathroom humor really isn't my thing and money is tight which is the only reason he hasn't gotten the costume for himself I'm sure. He says I don't have a sense of humor and I say that my sense of humor is just more refined, lol. It's an ongoing argument between us. I think if he had seen the baby version, we would now have it for at least one of our children. I will have to show him this picture. He will LOVE it!!!

ETA: Will post our pics once I have them. We are still missing a couple of things for the costumes.

[bcky2]

that is too funny! here are my boys trying theirs on. they dont have the right clothes on underneath but otherwise this is it. i was lazy and didnt want to sew anything too complicated.

I love the woopie cushion for a newborn, lol! And great pumpkins (no pun intended)!

Here's DD at a fair this weekend. Fortunately she loves her costume and does not mind the crooked seams etc.

we have the same fairy costume for my 18 month old DD! your DD looks adorable in it!

[katiesmommy]

Thanks, I was debating between that one and the red and gold one. After about 20 minutes of that, I decided to just let DD pick it.

[mom to little e]

Wah! I want to share my photo - why can't I ever post one?? I've got the popup blocker turned off. Any suggestions?

Jo, that is too awesome! Love it!!! Here's ours (taken a couple minutes ago, lol! I've been waiting and waiting for this thread!!!)

Taryn's trying to "share" her buddy (AKA the gerber wash-cloth) with everyone (even though I *tried* to explain it's only a friend to her, lol)

[mommy111]

That is too cute!!!!!!
Hopefully babycenter will get my costume in on time!

[tarynsmum]

My DD's middle name is Gene too - I didn't think I'd come across another one!

[megs4413]

that is SOOO cute! i love it!

[BillK]

I posted this one a week or so ago - but what the heck - here it is again (Our 'lil Kangaroo).

Here's DD in the tutu I made her. DS is going to be the Cat in the Hat but I don't have any pictures of him wearing the costume yet. I am thinking about digging out Noah's old Babystyle fish costume and seeing if it fits DD. It's a size 6-12 so it just might.

Here is ours for our Halloween card with the verse...

You never know what
sights you might see
this Halloween after dark.

Goblins or ghosts
or witches or ghouls...

Or maybe an Octopus or Shark!

yup, we tried to include everyone in her name since we weren't sure if we'd have another or not. So she's Kathlynn (pronounced kathleen) which was my MIL's middle name, the Lynn is my aunt's middle name, Gene is my grandmother and other aunt's middle name, and Anne is my mother's middle name.

[fortato]

Hmmm, where did I see that costume before...Oh that's right...

Your guy looks so peaceful, mine always looks ready to rumble!

[Jo..]

Are your pictures too big? Maybe they are over the size limit? Try resizing them to maybe 3x5 or so and see if that works?

Can't wait to see them!

[Jo..]

I can't believe how big Ruby is already! The tutu is gorgeous.

[wilelm]

Miriam wanted to be a T. Rex, but when she saw this dragon costume, she changed her mind. And Gabriel is my little monkey, who it was almost impossible to get a full-length picture of.

[Raidra]

I can't pick just one, so here's our album:

http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8Absm7ho0bNmGd

Yes, the kids had colds, and still I made them dress up and go outside.. I'm a terrible mommy.. ;)

Everyone's pictures are so cute!

Edited to fix the link.. duh.

[sarahsthreads]

Here's my little fairy princess. She wanted to be a butterfly, but I couldn't find any toddler-sized butterfly costumes around here and wasn't feeling creative enough to make one. Luckily she's happy enough just having wings of any sort. ;)

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/36171.jpg
http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/36172.jpg

We had to add the long sleeved shirt and black leggings because it's already cold enough to snow here, but I'm holding out hope that the current forecast for 57° is going to be accurate on Halloween, then we won't have to put even more layers on underneath!

Sarah :)

[maestramommy]

Okay, Here's the costume I made Dora. My first sewing project, he he!
The only problem with this costume is that you have to take both front and back view pics in order to see what it is.

And this morning I finally came up with some antennae!
http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/36176.jpg

Just in time for her Halloween playdate! Thanks to Elliesmom for the tutu directions and to the mommies who sent me the links for the tutu and shell! Dora was able to play and didn't get bothered by her costume one bit!

[Wife_and_mommy]

Melinda,

Dora looks adorable. You did a fabulous job!!

I'm duly impressed. :)

You did such a great job on the costume.
Dora looks adorable in it :-)

You've got a natural model there Eileen! Mom always comments on how she knows how to pose for pics! I have to chase Dora around and do monkey tricks still :-)

OMG that is toooo cute.

[StantonHyde]

I love it!!

[StantonHyde]

Adoreable!

[maestramommy]

Thanks :-). Actually the only sewing involved was really the shell. The tutu was a practically no-sew tutu. Very cool.

[Oregonmother]

Love seeing everyone's cuties in their costumes! Here's my fish and dragon.

Thanks, great job on Dora's ladybug costume too! It's so cute. I am going to do a ladybug party for DD 1st b-day. I might have to borrow a few ideas from your costume.

I've posted Aaron's pic already, but here it is:

Okay, I'm one horrible momma! We went to a fall festival last night and my DS went as a bag of grapes! All the adults loved it; none of the kids could figure it out ("Are you balloon man?").

We don't trick or treat because the great pumpkin comes to our house, so this was the first time my DS has ever "dressed up"!

Hope you all have a great time with your little characters!

Here's the links to her costume if you want it.

http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=10247
It comes with a hat and antennae but I skipped that part because I knew Dora wouldn't keep the hat on. Hence my last minute jerry-rig!

And the tutu: There are actually two types on this link.

[ellies mom]

I love how it came out!! I made Ellie a ladybug costume last year but I didn't think about adding a red tutu. Dora's costume is just the sweetest thing. And I love the antennae, especially how they match the tutu. I made Ellie's out of pipecleaners and red felt circles. She is wearing the ladybug costume again this year because she is absolutely refusing to wear the darling witch costume we bought her. I might just have to whip out a little red tutu also.

[Radosti]

Hehe!!! Thanks!!! He knows it and works it already!!! If I'm mad at him, he'll bring up his shoulders and put his head on the right shoulder and then on the left with a look like, "Can you seriously even contemplate being upset with me?"

She was supposed to be a bee and he a sunflower, but best laid plans....

They still looked really cute, we missed TorT today at the local outdoor mall due to naps. I have to work during TorT on Tuesday. :( DH is taking them though and I instructed him to take lots of photos.

You MADE that??? That is too awesome.

[StantonHyde]

ooh, ooh, I have that dragon costume for DS. I like the makeup, didn't think of that. Is it just regular face paint you can buy in the store? The fish is too cute.

[StantonHyde]

awwwww,that is too sweet.

that is way too cute--precious even.

The face paint is actually water-soluble wax pastels that I got from our local art supply store. They are called neocolorII. They are wonderful, all you have to do is dip the tip in a cup of water and start drawing. They wash off super easy with water too. They are made in Switzerland. Here is the website:

http://www.carandache.ch/products/fineart/detail.lbl?g=Classic&p=Neocolor%20II

I saw that they have an actual face painting kit too if you check their website under Junior products. It's probably more expensive though. You can buy the wax pastel crayons individually or as a set. I have the set of 10.

[Oregonmother]

Thanks I'll bookmark it!!

[Oregonmother]

Love both of your dd's costumes, my dd is the same fish only pink. It's so adorable that she's walking. Wish my little fish was walking for pic's in this costume

[Radosti]

Holy cow!!! So so so cute!

LOL Marci!

DD isn't crazy about hers either!!!!

[youngmommy]

>that is adorable. did you make the cosume?


No... sorry to say. I like to sew but 1) I don't have a sewing machine and 2) I'm not sure I have the time with a toddler in the house!

I did however add to the costume.

This is the costume I bought:
http://www.buycostumes.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=12596&PCatID=house%20ad&ccatid=childtoddler

(Can't remember where I got it from though. DD wore it for Purim in February! I'm just posting the pix here because I don't recall there being a Purim costume thread.)

I had her wear a white turtleneck/onesie underneath the top, and a pair of thick cotton white tights under the dress and socks. Then she just wore her dressy black shoes on her feet.







http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/36286.jpg

[lmintzer]

Thanks, Marci. It was fun making it!

I don't know--he wouldn't wear it Sat. evening for a party, and it was a lot colder then!

Hope Julia gets happier about hers too. The picture is really cute!

[randomkid]

Here's my contribution. Took DD for portraits today - notice that she does not have on shoes and she has a death grip on that pumpkin (which is blocking half her costume). You wouldn't believe what we went through just to get these two pics. She is quickly approaching 2yo and is very fearful of strangers right now. Not a good combo when trying to get some pictures taken. All she wanted to do was sit in my lap or stand there and scream - lol! They asked if I wanted to be in the picture, but I don't think my green shirt with navy blue and white stripes would have fit the theme!

I really wanted a side angle shot so you could see the cute green wings on the back, but we were lucky to get these.

Edited to delete pics

Alyssa - this is too funny. My DS was the fish last year. He'll be the dragon next year (great after Halloween sale at Babystyle last year!!). Plus, we have the same counters!! I feel like you're my long lost twin! :)

Linda

[Jo..]

All of your costumes are AMAZING. Thanks so much to everyone for sharing, I really enjoyed the pictures!

Kim - what a cutie pie you have there! And I just can't get over those curls!!! Too cute!!!

I finally finished DS's costume on Saturday. Nothing like waiting until nearly the last minute :).

http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/36312.jpg

I'm proud to say he won Best Child's Costume at our MOMS Club party last night!

[jenjenfirenjen]

That's awesome Kris. I love it! He's such a cutie (as is little Lucinda.)

[Oregonmother]

I guess you have good taste Linda. I already have a fraternal twin, maybe your my identical. Yeah, I need to go check out Babystyles website after this.
