That's a lovely costume you sewed Dawn.  I use to make my Halloween costumes years ago, but I haven't used my sewing machine in over 10 years now.  |

I'm in love with the First Task Costumes so I decided to make one about a month ago but I'm scared to start because 1) I have no idea how complex it is till I have some better shots of the whole things 2) I have to sew it by hand till my mom gets the machine fixes  The one on Ebay I'd like to own but I want a Hufflepuff one  |

Wow, Dawn! That costume is amazing.  Sewing seems so difficult. But maybe I just have a mind block against it. I'm going to have to make my daughters cowgirl vest for Halloween though. I can't find one anywhere and she want's it to be cow print. I'll let you know how it goes......  |

"And so, it looks like my oldest will be Darth Vader for Halloween - my husband nailed it on the head."
Well, we were wrong. After spending about 30 seconds in the costume store, my son very decidly selected a S.W.A.T guy costume - I suppose it fits - half military, half police and although I did nix the fake gun accessory, I told him we'd look for a baton (or whatever the big pain stick they carry is called) - he's happy, I'm glad he won't look like *every* other kid and now we still have to determine one for the youngest...

We finally worked out a costume for my son. He decided he wanted to be Super Pac-Man. Not just Pac-Man, noooooo, but the super hero version (yes, it actually exists).  Since there has never been a Super Pac-Man costume, we had to improvise. I found a hat on eBay that doesn't cover his face, a red cape from a Superman costume at Wal-Mart, white gloves from a party store, a dark yellow sweatshirt, and black sweatpants. We found a kitty costume for my daughter at the party store, and now we are set for Halloween!  |

LOVE that Pac-Man hat!  I would wear it! I finally got my daughters cowgirl vest done. We found a sheriffs badge at the grocery store and it came with a black Lone Ranger mask. And now she wants to wear overalls. Sooo...she's looks more like a farmer/cowgirl/sheriff/bandit type person.  Funny but cute. |

Our nieces and nephew are all ready for Halloween here. Alexis will be Snow White. Wendi also bought an apple and rose for her to carry with the costume. Kati is going to be a Gothic Witch, and she will have a broom (of course) to carry with her costume. Miguel will be wearing a costume Fusae sent last year (he wanted to be Barney last year so he didn't get to wear it). It's what kids would wear to summer festivals. I don't think anyone else is dressing up. I may put on my kimono or yukata, but I did that last year so I'll probably just walk along with the kids |

I put the kids in their costumes yesterday as a sort of dress rehearsal and took some pictures. They looked so cute! The hat fits my son, but both my husband and I can wear it. Your daughter is going to look adorable, Kelly. Isn't it funny the way kids want to dress up? |

"now we still have to determine one for the youngest..." Well, the verdict is in. It's a ..... frog. Yup, my youngest will be a frog, my eldest a SWAT dude and I'll be proudly marching beside them wearing my Mardi Gras mask Ought to be an interesting group ... |

I couldnt find a Harry Potter costume that would fit me and so me and Monica cant go as Hermione and Harry together :'( They did have a first task robe that fit but it only came with the robe and my black pants are packed up SOMEWHERE in the garage so I didnt get that ether. I wish I had the money to buy all my supplys for my Cedrics robe because I would go as Cedric. I thought about going as Viktor seeing they went together in the movie but Monica just laughed Guess I'm going to have to go the the adult side now *sniff* I better see if Monica still wants me to go now I cant be Harry Any ideas? |

You can still be a dementor. I know it's from the last movie, but there are lots of adult dementor costumes out there and it would be easy enough to make yourself if you wanted. Just buy a black sheet and add a hood.
