Halloween costumes – what are your kids doing?

I have a confession to make – I enjoy Halloween more than any other holiday. I have another confession – part of the reason I send my kids out to Trick-or-Treat is so I can raid their candy stash.
Shhh! Don’t tell them.
This year my oldest wants to dress as a mermaid and my little one wants to be a witch. The witch will not be a problem. The mermaid might be on the expensive side so I may have to put on my thinking cap and make one myself. It wouldn’t be the first time. I’ve also made her an ant costume and last year I turned black leggings, my black hoodie, and some sewed-on white pieces of fabric into an Orca costume for her (sheesh!).
Are your kids going out for the spookiest night of the year? What costume are they wearing?

Cute costumes
My daughter is going dressed in 70’s, my son doesn’t know what he’ll be, he’s not fussy all he wants is candies .. lol
So do i…a ghost. Can you believe that? Parenting.com has the image I am using.
My girls are going out as princesses again this year. So far its been 8 yrs as princesses! I wish they would try another but they seem to be stuck.
I can’t decide what my baby girl should be… a ladybug? a bunny? I saw a kid dressed up as a tree-shaped air freshener that said “little stinker” and thought it was hilarious! I’d copy it but my baby’s not fussy or anything; she’s a good, calm, happy kid.
My oldest daughter decided that she wanted the whole family to dress as pirates this year. So after convincing her two younger sisters that this was the best idea ever I am now making 1 adult male, 1 adult female, 4 kids (varying sizes), and a dog pirate costumes!! I really need to get busy because all I have done so far is make that hats.
My daughter still isn’t quite sure what she’s going to be, possibly some sort of princess. My 3 yr old plans on being a ninja turtle, as for our darling 2mo old, I have no idea, probably just get him one of those halloween sleepers.
Halloween is my favorite holiday as well. In fact it’s why I got married on Halloween. This year my son is going to be a bat. I’m so excited.
When I was little, my mom made most of my costumes. I was a birthday present, a skunk, a cat, and man I can’t even remember some of ‘em.
i once took my mom’s party dress to be a gypsy…..she was not happy.
I think my daughter’s intending to be a cat this year.
my 2 month old is going to be a chili pepper and my 2 yr old is going to be a chef!!
Last year, the entire family, including me, dressed as zombies. I think that this will be a pirate year.
My 2 yr old is going to be a wicked witch (her idea) and my 4 yr old is going to be Spiderman!
kids all grown no costumes needed
I never thought far enough ahead to have a costume made by Mom. I was always jealous of friends who did, though.
My 3 year old is going to be a fireman and my 5 year old is going to be Belle (of Beauty and the Beast). My 7 year old doesn’t know what he wants to be yet, he just knows he wants to be something scary. My husband and I also need costumes for a party we’re going to, I haven’t dressed up in years! We’ll be hitting the party/costume store this weekend for ideas.
My kids have grown too and I don’t know yet what the grandchildren are dressing as. I miss that part of Hallowe’en; I used to make all the kids’ costumes.
My son is going as santa claus and my daughter is either Mrs. Claus, a bee, or a tiger. My son decided back in april that is what he wanted to be.
We love Halloween! My son is going to be Darth Vader this year- guess we have outgrown the cute costumes!
my oldest wants to a witch, the youngest “fancy”, I have not quite figured that one out
my kids are dreessing up as fairy and a witch
