Anybody have any hot ones this year for you, your kids or grandkids? Any favorites from years past?
One year a friend of mine went as "the internet". he had a rope light wrapped around himself, a headlamp, blank cd's and dvd's attached to himself, some printouts, maybe some slinky's dangling off himself- the only drawback was that he had to be relatively close to an outlet as he had to plug himself in.

My brother and I won 1st prize at a contest in a local movie theater, many, many years ago, as an organ grinder and his monkey.
And then, in 1978 [I think it was?], there was this:

I wasn't home this year for last night's celebrations. But for the past several years, I have dressed in my 18th century clothing. Last year, I had on a blue linen gown and petticoat... fairly up-scale... and sat on my big front porch on my 18th-century style chair with my candle lantern on a little table beside me. On my lap, I had a fabric flag -- the Bennington '76 flag -- upon which I was "stitching." Yes, many of the adults got who I was!
When my kids were little, I always made all of their costumes. My very favorites were when they were Mickey and Minnie Mouse. They had black arms and leggings, black tight-fitting hoods with cute round ears that stood out, and stuffed tails that wobbled back and forth from their rear-ends as they walked. Justin's had dark trousers and a red-checked shirt, and Jocelyn's had a short little red print dress. I drew mouse faces on them, and they were absolutely adorable! |

| 3 of my 4 grandsons came by trick or treating. They were "Scream" from the movie (I think), Arkansas Razorback Football Player and the 3 year old was a black and white cow. Cute! They had enough candy to put us all in a diabetic coma! |

| A few years ago my daughter went to a party as a hospital patient in a hospital gown with a fake nekked butt sticking out the back. That was a hoot! |

That would have been funny, GG, but sort of hot and crinkley!
I located my photo of my little Mickey and Minnie. Justin was 5 and Jocelyn was 2.

Note that Minnie even has a bow on her head that matches her dress!

A couple of random thoughts...
KantuckEE -- are you sure it was fake? 
GG -- you could just wear paper panties and go as a lamb chop!  |

| Thanks, MG! It's hard to believe they are now 25 and 28, and are parents! |
