She's swaying back and forth, but you can't tell in the picture--she's a snake-in-a-basket...a cobra!  We cut out the bottom of the basket, so she can walk, and there are slits on either side so she can get her hands to hold her trick-or-treat bag.  She's much shinier gold in person.

Totally homeade! I made the puppy costume and my 5-year-old has her favorite puppy stuffed animals to complete the costume!

My daughter went as Evel Knievel. Seemed appropriate for her spirit and personality!

We were part of the solar system this year. I am 9 months pregnant, and my son is really into space. He suggested that I go as Mother Earth and the costumes took off from there.

We pieced together this pirate costume with some things we found around the house, as well as a couple purchased items.  We needed something warm and comfortable because it was a chilly night!  Yo Ho Happy Halloween!

I made this costume for my DD 2 year old from cardboard box (base of dress), a shiny silver insulated tote (legs, arms, trimming on dress and helmet), and an ikea lamp box(helmet). We painted it silver with nontoxic paint together and used duct tape to hold it together and shiny silver electrical tape for trim. She loved it! The best part was when we went trick or treating in a downtown neighborhood near our house. She went into the local bookstore and was excited to find a book of robot stickers- so there was a girl robot reading about robots! For nighttime trick or treating she wore glow sticks and looked so festive and fun. Best Halloween ever!
