I go here now! DS turned 1 on the 13th.
I wanted to get past his birthday party before worrying about Halloween, but since the party was this past Saturday it's time to think costumes! No idea what I'm going to dress DS up as yet, but I know I want to coordinate something with my dog. We have a lion mane for our dog already, so I may try to use that some how.
Last year DS was only 6 weeks old so I put him in a Halloween themed onesie during the day, then in the head piece from the crochet dog outfit I had bought for his newborn pictures.

New plan. I tried putting a headband on K and it was a complete no go. Since half of the Beatbo costume relies on the ears, I'm going with plan B. I was perusing through the Halloween stores website and came across a Rick and Morty costume and just about lost my shit. So, MH is going to be Rick, K is going to be Morty, and I'm going to be Summer. I'm going to Goodwill today to see if I can find white pants.

He was just watching Rick and Morty today. I've never seen it though...

So go in knowing they intentionally fuck with their viewers and they are trying to shock you. It's one of my favorite shows.

Thanks everyone. It was a ton of fun! I may be crazy but I want to do something similar around Christmas. It was just really nice to see my local mom friends, despite the choas of five toddlers.
Also, I give the toddler teachers at DC so, so much credit. At one point we were practically throwing food at them so they would calm down and in the end we resorted to sesame Street. Lol

So BH decided he didn't want to be a vampire hunter, he wanted to be a cat. We had our first Halloween event Saturday night.

billyhorrible Omg the cuteness! Love it! This thread and these photos are making me so excited for Halloween. Today, our building had a mummy and pumpkin mask making craft event. DS loved it and made a pumpkin mask with tons of glitter on it. We told him that one is for outside play only! 😅. He colored another one orange, which he has been wearing around nonstop.

I just bought a lab coat for our dog and a monster costume for R. Our dog's name is Hank so they're going to be Dr Hankenstein and the Hankenstein monster!
Really hoping the coat fits my dog when it arrives!

Hopefully it fits - they have lab retreivers as one of the example breeds for the large size so fingers crossed. I'll have to Prime him a human one if it doesn't.

Taitai, yup! I was clippy. Your annoying office assistant. It was tongue in cheek since I'm the office manager and my job is to annoy the engineers to get stuff done.

I love all the costumes. I'm hoping next year K will be into it by then. But knowing my luck she'll want to be ultimate sparkle princess which you can't just buy. Lol

sheilathetank - this sounds stupid and patronizing, but I don't mean it that way: it makes me unbelievably happy that you dressed up at work! Seriously you guys, I love Halloween and people in costumes. I had the biggest smile plastered on my face at LBB's school parade.

Seriously you guys, I love Halloween and people in costumes. I had the biggest smile plastered on my face at LBB's school parade. I don't think that's stupid and patronising at all. My boss did offer an extra PTO day for the best costume, so I put in a little bit more effort than I probably would have. The woman who won spent $$$$$ and dressed up her dog to coordinate. I feel ok knowing my costume was under $10
