Amy, I thought I had the corner on that going as a pregant mummy (get it, Mummy) to my then husband’s Egyptian the year I was pregnant on Halloween but she just topped it. And my husband had authentic Egyptian garb from a trip there!

My six year old grandson’s the youngest I’ve got going this year and he’s insisting on being a zombie. I don’t even want to know why.

He’s nuts about skeletons year round but for some reason never wants to be one for Halloween.

I play Grammy Monster with him wherein I stomp after him and tickle him mercilessly. A game he loves. Guess what I’m getting roped into being? I’ll get something I never thought I’d buy: a housedress and stick curlers falling out of my hair and combat boots (as in your grandma wears combat boots, is that old insult still around) some support hose I’ll put a few runs in and then do something with cold cream and my face, with touches of monster thrown on too. Perhaps a shawl with spiders or something.

Feel free to borrow if you’re a grandmother or even if you’re not. Any suggestions for the cane? I already have one of those hideous old lady ones.

I don’t usually dress up any more but I am really getting into this one!

I had a “WTF” moment over the first one until I saw the comments explaining the Alien reference.

My oldest (5 years old) is going to be a “Bad Spirited Cheerleader”. She’s naturally a little girly-goth as it is, so when she saw the cheerleader costume with all the black and skulls she nearly died. My youngest (2 years old) is going to be a witch, and will also be adorned with skull accessories like her older sister.

My baby will be wearing a snuggly warm dinosaur outfit. Or else the chicken suit, if we can find where we packed it.

Because really, babies in chicken suits never get old.

(BTW, it’s *exactly* the same chicken suit as used in the first picture above. Minus the blood and such…)

I think I like the look of shock on the top one. That’s pretty much how I’d look if someone slapped a plastic alien on my chest and decorated me with fake blood. “What the…”

This isn’t a baby costume, but one of my friends did come up with the coolest maternity costume ever:

Sadly, one of the pictures at the link does not exist in reality. The kid in the tauntaun sleeping bag was an April 1 prank by ThinkGeek, who would love to put it into production but was having problems securing the rights. Oo, I went to their link, and apparently they will be available soon. Neat!
