Fall is here and it is time to start planning and making Halloween costumes. This is the time when we pull out our costume boxes and dig thru to see what we have. Every year we add to these boxes. But dressing up isn't just for Halloween, we love any excuse to do it. I went through some pics and picked out a few to share with you. Hopefully they will inspire some ideas and thoughts for this upcoming magical day. They range from corny to creepy. And of course, we love cheesy. Enjoy!! :)

Make up and thrift store clothing go a long way to making really great costumes.
Now it's time to figure out who we will be this Halloween. |
Your family looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous. Every day should be Halloween as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shelly. I do enjoy being with them, they are a goofy bunch.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I quite agree. I love Halloween, it's just so fun to dress up and be someone else for a day.
What a fun family you have! You are such a good Mama - you are giving them such wonderful memories and giving me such great ideas . . . thanks for the inspiration and thank you for your sweet comment ;) xoxo
ReplyDeletewow, you guys sure like to dress up!
ReplyDeletemy family is boring. i need to ditch them and go stag to a halloween party this year B€
I love the pictures. Holloween is pretty awesome, but I like my costumes dark. You're the fairy type, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteoh how fun!!!
ReplyDeleteKristin, thank you! We do have fun together. We love Halloween and obviously dressing up. :) Hope we can inspire others, too.
ReplyDeleteTara, haha, you should do it. Halloween parties are always fun, dress up and have a good time.
Laila, I do enjoy dressing up. When my kids were younger we stayed away from the "darker" type costumes, but now that they're all teens, I'm a bit more open. And yes, I I think I do lean more towards fairies. :)
Daniele, it is indeed.
You sure do have allot of fun! I can only remember a couple of really good dress-up halloweens in my past. Can't wait to see this years photos of you all!

Fun stuff. I don't dress up anymore, but I used to when my kids were younger. My favorite costumes are the homemade ones we concocted from stuff at home and some make-up.

Tossing It Out
I adore period/historical costumes, as well as last minute get-ups. One year my son got a last minute invite, his store-bought costume had a tear, and we resorted to emptying the first aid kit and covering him with bandages and gauze. We had a lot of fun with that!
