I googled some and found an awesome tutorial on how to make your own fairy wings. I like to be crafty so I am planning to make wings for myself and for my daughter. We can't dress scary because it will scare her and I don't believe thats good for children. She got completely spooked last year when an adult entered the library during story time for kids (halloween edition) and pranced around in the costume from Scream. She was so scared and I found out the guy was a dad and he was actually scaring one of his kids too. less

Halloween is sacred in my house because it's so close to my birthday. I don't think I could ever love a holiday more... and I mean that!

My husband and I have actually started a Transformer costume for my son (he's gifted with a sewing machine, I just sit in the corner and yell at him saying he's doing it wrong).. I'll just put on a Witch's hat or a silly animal nose.

I found a cute little Sailor collar for my cat at target for $1 a few months back and I might have my husband make him a dixie cup to go along with it. And yes, who doesn't love a cat in a costume? I actually just did a google search the other day for my son because he wanted to see silly cats and there are dozens of Halloween sites dedicated to pet owner's and their cats in costumes.

But if you're looking for an in the bedroom costume, I've fallen in love with the Upstairs Maid.. wow, just wow. less

This may be a bit early, but I can't get Halloween off my brain. We're been having some weather lately that hints of Autumn and this is my favorite season. Halloween remains my favorite holiday and I have no explanation for it. I just love it. I love pumpkins and all things orange too.

Do you have any ideas of what you might dress up as, even if this post just started your thoughts on it?

I am thinking about it because it takes me that long and because if I don't then I may forget and it will become last minute and then I won't dress up which usually happens. Whew. That was a long run-on sentence.

Anyways, I mentioned to my husband my thoughts. I'm not sure what I'll wear for a top but I imagine wearing some type of stockings and a skirt. I would wear a collar that has an option for a leash and he would have that end. He wants to dress as an evil warlord and he started practicing his menacing laugh which prompted my daughter to say "you're scary!" so perhaps that's not such a good idea.

I saw these stockings and I want to wear them somehow, some where! If I can get them to stay up, which reviews hinted to be tricky. less

For a last minute costume idea, I was considering dressing up like a guy who just got out of bed, and likes to watch horror movies, drink beer, and sometimes orders pizza. Maybe I will also role play while wearing this costume

Although here is my idea for a funny costume: Dress up as a giant 7 foot tall white kitten (think mascot style costume), that is covered in blood and has Freddy Kruger-like claws on each paw. This would also be a great costume to wear throughout the rest of the year as well while walking around late at night less
