That’s what makes it SO VERY SCARY!
He fell into the part quite easily…

Gabe plays that part a little TOO well methinks. He could walk down the street like that every day down here and no one would bat an eye….

You are my kid costume hero. I was always a purist about my own Halloween costumes like you. My husband and I had some fab duo costumes and went all out. But I have not lived up to my own standards with my kid. All store bought. It’s bothering me greatly. I’ll proceed with her lame witch attire this year, but you have inspired me to commit to something better next year.

I put my Halloween decorations up in September. Yeah, I did.

LOL. I love Halloween too! I’m one of those neighbors who finds the tackiest crap I can to stick in the yard. Yah. They love me.

Oh you definitely have it. We should start a charity to raise money. A CURE FOR COT.
Nah, I say we just MANAGE our disease. : )

Oh man, this was hilarious. At points, so wrong! but funny. 🙂

And I suffer from the same affliction. My mom is pretty uber-conservative so my brothers & I weren’t allowed to trick-or-treat or celebrate Halloween growing up (that holiday being “from the devil”, you know) 😛 so my need to make up for lost years on top of having 3 kids within 13 months of one another has lead to a pretty severe case of Costume Obsessive Transference. I may or may not have purchased a real wind-up antique pocket watch to complete my son’s White Rabbit costume, and a handmade white pinafore to complete my daughter’s Alice costume the year we did a group Alice in Wonderland costume. My other daughter’s Cheshire Cat costume was designed & sewn all by me, and I was, naturally, the Queen of Hearts. 😉
