What are YOU going to be for Halloween?

Do any of you dress up for Halloween?

Usually, I dress as a nun, but this year I'm going to be a substitute teacher. I'm going to put spit balls in the back of my hair as well as a paper airplane, a "kick me" sign on my back. Any other suggestions? I'm thinking about filling coffee cup with booze and walking around. Maybe an "Advil" bottle in my cardigan.

DH will be a tourist--a hawaiian shirt, shorts, a few cameras around his neck, and tourist brochures and a map hanging out of his pocket.

Hysterical! I wanted to be goldie locks and the three bears, but my dd wanted to be tinkerbelle. I don't imagine I'll dress up, unless I steal your idea. It's great! Don't forget the tissue in the sleeve of your sweater!

My husband and I are dressing up as Redneck Trailertrash. he's going to wear coveralls with the nametag made of duct tape with the name Bubba written on it with a sharpie, I have a wig that i'm teasing to a mile high, and bright red heels and really BAD makeup

one of my recent thriftstore bargans was a "cousin it" costume.. for $8. it was made for the local theater company and is WONDERFUL. I'm so excited to wear it.

We have 2 Halloween parties to go to so we who never dress are going as Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth.
Should get some good laughs. Mostly because DH is bald and the long blonde wig is a scream not to mention what mine looks like. I'm mouse brown always worn in a bun or ponytail.

I don't normally dress up, but I saw the cutest costume...pigs in a blanket. You pin stuffed animals to a blanket and wrap yourself in it. Maybe get a pig snout to wear. I could totally pull that off!!

I stopped dressing up at Halloween when my daughter stopped trick or treating. I used to dress up as a hunchback. I wore gloves and had an ugly head mask. The kids never could figure out who I was when I would walk the neighborhood since I never spoke. . .I only grunted. They always thought I was a man. Of course, my daughter was MORTIFIED every Halloween. She never told anyone it was me because she was so embarrassed by it.

That's great!
Don't forget the white line across your butt from leaning against the chalk tray... or was that just Mrs Weaver? :-D

A crabby biatch....oh wait! You said for Halloween only

Seriously - havent a clue. Last year at work we had a pot luck but we had to dress up by departments. My frugal idea - we were a pumpkin patch. We used those halloween leaf bags, orange ones with the faces on them and blew up a ton of produce bags to puff out our garbage bags. Wear a tank top with shorts underneath, cut holes for arms/legs and yer set to go. We bought cheap felt cloth at the fabric store to make a collar to look like a pumpkin. We were cute and won! LOL IF you do try this costume idea out: note that it will be very hard to walk and you will sweat! LOL

I dont know if we're doing anything this year for Halloween.

when i was working, i always told everyone i was going as a SAHM. all i did was change out of my work shirt for a regular shirt

i haven't found anything this year that really calls to me so i probably won't go as anything. i'll check the party store to see if they have any cute headbands. that will probably be it.

For you make it so you look pregnant.

That and maybe a bottle of something. Sounds like good costume!

Ladies--thanks for reminding me about the chalk line and a tissue up my sleeve. Good stuff!

Well, I guess I'm doomed to just dress up as a librarian, since I'll have to work that night! We have a guess the number of gummi spiders jar on the counter for medical library month (or something like that) so I suppose I could put a couple of them in my hair!
