        I see better costumes every year, but my 4 yo daughter is going to be a witch by her own choice, and my 7 yo son is going to be a clone wars kid this year by his own choice and we will have a load of fun as usual.  They, my children, are perhaps the best present I've ever recieved from 'he who is' ( God ).  The most weird costume I have ever seen is with out a doubt when I lived in the D.C. area while they still had the big halloween celebration there in the 80's: a guy dressed up like a doctor and a women as a pregnant women, he had these real stirups clamped to the curb on 'M street' in Georgetown and was helping with the birth of this baby and they had this tube system shooting out ketsup all over the sidewalk and his lab coat.  It was crazy against this backdrop of over >30,000 people that used to show for this event.  You had to be there I guess, but it was so funny funny gross that everone was laughing.  They have tamed down that Georgetown Halloween celebration since very very much, yet I loved to go to it while it lasted.  It was a different time; Marion Barry was Mayor and Ronald Regan was president and the Wash. D.C. area was the place to be.  I guess the big group concearned the police to much.

My husband absolutely loves Halloween so the whole family dresses up. 


One year we followed a Harry Potter theme.  Our oldest was 5 and looked a lot like a young Harry Potter so he was Harry.  Our second child was only 4 months old so I cut a witches costume down to a tiny wizards robe and he was a wizard baby.  I went as Professor McGonagal and hubby went as Dumbledore although some people looked at the robe and wig/beard and thought he was supposed to be Moses.  LOL


Last year the kids were into GI Joe and camoflauge so we went as a Commando family - eveyone in camo clothes and faces done. 


This year our oldest wants to be a mummy and the middle wants to be a horse so the baby is going to be a cowboy.  Staples' "easy button" has been quite the joke in our family this year so I was thinking of wearing all black with a home-made "easy" button pillow on the front and hubby can go as a business man so I'm HIS easy button but no one elses.

A guy in Durango dressed himself wrapped in tons of cheesecloth with a piece of rope hanging out, ketchup splashed on and claimed he was a tampon. Then he got upset when no chick would hang with him. Go figure.

Last year, one of my sons (age 15) decided to go as Dr House.  Scub top, jeans, stethescope, pill bottle, and cane.


The funny part was ever since first grade, he's wanted to be a lawyer.  In January, he came home one day out of the blue, and said "I want to be a doctor".  I've tried to talk him out of it, ever since, no budging him.  He went this summer and shadowed an Orthopedic Surgeon, and loved it.  I've told him, no life until your thirty, no girlfriends, get a 9 to 5 job, and the more I argue, the more he digs in his heals.
