I don’t think that anything can beat the awesomeness of our Halloween costumes last year.
Meet Dog and Beth Chapman: Bounty Hunters.
(Seriously, Jonathan in this costume? BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!)
I really don’t think it’s possible to top it, but this year should be cute anyway. We’re going as Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf. (Or, unless I can find some way to lengthen the costume that is MUCH SHORTER AND SKIMPIER THAN THE PHOTO LOOKED ON THE INTERNET, I will be going this Halloween as “Little Red Riding HO”. (And seriously? Pregnant women just shouldn’t go as ho’s. It’s a bad idea all the way around.)
Finding a wolf costume for a 6’4 man was no easy task.
Trust me on this.
Christopher is going as a warewolf and James will be some obscure anime character that I have no clue about. We’re keeping with our yearly tradition of going over to our friends, Max and Bridgy for dinner, games and movies. We love this tradition because the men take the children out door-to-door.
Heh.
So…What are y’all doing for Halloween? Costumes? Parties?? What???

What great costumes! Will be fun to see this years pic.
We’re just taking kids door-to-door. My 3-year old is going as Batman and I’m trying to convince my husband to wear a Robin costume. He won’t do it. Maybe I will…
Very low key, but thanks for asking. I think pregnant “Ho’s” are the best kind.
I love the pistol in the garter. That’s hot.
By coincidence, I am also being LRRH this year. I made a nearly floor length cloak with matching riding satchel, and I have a trick-or-treat picnic basket. When you open the trick side, a wolf pops up, and when you open the treat side, you get candy.
Mr. E is being a nerdy superhero, complete with welding goggles, rubber gloves, and a Target T-shirt that says “Don’t make me use my super powers!”
I can’t wait to see your little R and Big Bad Wolf getup! That is one costume I’ve always wanted me and my husband to do. He’s working on Halloween this year, though. Boo!
The most I do for Halloween is take the kids door to door.
Those are great!
I’m going to a party at Avitable’s house – but I can’t reveal my costume until that night.
I have to work the anticipation angle to distract from the cellulite angle that is sure to come.
That wig looks way better than Dog Chapman’s hair.
That picture is awesome!
I never dress up for halloween anymore. I told Hadley I was going to be a witch and she told me that wasn’t dressing up, thats what I was everyday.
What else….. the old woman who lived in a shoe? Oh yeah, That’s me everyday too.
I have two friends who are going as nacho libre, One male friend, and one female. I can’t wait to see them.
I am about as crafty as you. (another utah disappointment.) I just can’t get that creative. So, I send the kids with Daddy and stay home and pass out/ eat the candy.
You are clearly a bigger Halloween-er (ha!) than I am. I’ve never been that into it. I don’t know if I’m dressing up at all this year, actually. But, my mom and dad will be in town, yay! I think we’re going trick-or-treating with friends which will be fun for the kids and adults.
That costume is absolutely hilarious! But I think you totally cheated off of me…hehe.
This year, I’m going to try to be a super hot librarian and T is going to be the college student lusting after me. Except the only place we get to dress up is for a kid’s carnival we’re throwing for all the neighborhood kids…
…I wonder if that’s the right message to be sending…??
I was talking to SWMBO about the possibility of going to a costume party at friends this year. My oldest son, overhearing this, said, “Dad!! Kinda hard to disguise old, fat and ugly, ain’t it?” I slunk away to my corner and sat down at my computer, feeling somewhat disgruntled. First, because #1 son is a smartass, and second, I would have gotten KILLED if I hadn’t just shut up and walked away, because my first retort WOULD have been, “Son, that’s no way to talk about your mother.” Discretion is, after all, the better part of valor.
We just went to our big party this past weekend. The theme was ‘something you or others are afraid of’. I was a spider and my husband was the #13. Literally duct-taped a #13 to his shirt. Lazy loser, heh.
Can’t wait to see the Little Red Riding Ho costume ;) hehe
Jose and I aren’t dressing up, but the kids are. Gaby is a UF cheerleader and Anthony will be UF football player. Maybe I ‘ll surprise Jose by buying costumes. We’ll see.
BTW your costume was awesome.
I won’t dress up but the boys will go as bear and bunny – again. Still, after all the work those costumes wear I am glad they get some use (And they are cute I say as a completely objective mother).
There isn’t really any trick-or-treating around here but we’ll have a (very small) party at our house. I just can’t resist the lure of making some of these Halloween foods.
That costume from last year is hysterical! I was going to go as a Supreme but my beehive wig was more Raggedy Ann when I took it out of the package. If I can’t find one to replace it, I am going as nothing.
LMAO!!!!!!
I’m not going to be anything. When I get thin and hot like you, I’ll be a slutty smurfette though!
This year is a first. The kids will be trick or treating with friends. Chef will be Han Solo, which means a haircut in the next couple of days. Han doesn’t have extremely curly hair!
Gameboy is reusing his Harry Potter costume, since he’s frequently told he looks like Harry.
Me? I’ll be Snow White handing out the treats, while the boombox plays Halloween music…
My boys are going as ketchup and mustard; I haven’t dressed up in YEARS. Sometimes I think I want to, but then….I dunno.
You guys looked great last year, can’t wait for this year’s picture!
Rawr. Nice rack.
Smooches doll. I can’t wait to see pictures.
If you think about it, a pregnant ho is actually quite ironic, and just straight up funny in and of itself. I say go for it!
I love those costumes….what a great idea….
We are hoping to go as super heros this year… our friend just had a stroke and we helped him out and got him to the hospital and saved him from something terrible. So they all keep bugging us and calling us heros…so we figured this would be fitting…LOL
Oh and I have tagged you in a meme… check it out…

I haven’t dressed up for Halloween in more than a decade. Kind of sad, huh? We’ll just be spending the evening at home, passing out candy. Trying not to overindulge too much so I don’t puke during my long run the next morning!
Wrestling a screaming toddler to the ground to put his make-up on so we can take him to five or six houses before he begs to be towed in his wagon and then falls asleep.
I’m waaayyy too pregnant to be a slutty anything, so work it while you’ve got it. Hubby and I were planning to go as Juno and her boyfriend.
Did Jon tell you that I instant messaged him saying, “Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?” I was laughing so hard. His response was something on the line of, “Not me.”
/sigh
That was an awesome duo! One year I was car-wreck-mangled Princess Di and hubby was Superman in a wheelchair(after poor, dear, sweet Christopher Reeves was paralyzed…) So wrong. We all have so many costumes it will just depend on how were feeling come Halloween night :)
Can’t wait to see your pics this year!
HUGS, ~Brook

That picture is fanFRIGGINtastic!!! I’m laughing my ass off over here!
I’m going as Joan Jett this year. Every piece is authentic vintage 80′s. It’s pretty good. But it doesn’t top the Bounty Hunters!
HILARIOUS!! That’s great. My husband never dresses up. Last year I was a Star Trek chick (original 60′s sytle). The year before that I was Jackie Onassis. Few folks got that one, and I was hard to see trick-or-treating in dark sunglasses. This year I’m feeling uninspired. I thought about trying to pull off a Sarah Palin. My glasses are dark-rimmed, but I think I could manage the rest of the look. I’ll be going with a cheerleader, penguin, witch and mummy. Sounds about right for Washington, doesn’t it?
Great costumes!
We’ll do the neighborhood walk Hopefully my son gets a little more into it. He’s gotten bored with it pretty quick in the past.
We take our kids trick-or-treating while dressed as…Cold Canadians Dressed In Ski Jackets.
I hate dressing up – can never think of a good costume :)
We are having a pair of lovely friends over for some horrible Halloween movie watching. The qualifications for any movie we may watch:
1. It has to be old, preferably circa 1980-something.
2. It has to have something to do with Halloween.
3. It has to be hilariously horrible.
4. Bonus points for werewolves.
I still love that picture! It’s awesome.
I feel like Halloween is done already because Friday we went to our “boo at the zoo” and then trick-or-treat was Saturday here by us, which I took the boys to. It was too cold. And now I’m Halloween’ed out.
Can’t wait to your costumes though!
Makes me wanna hop on a plane and go Halloweening (is that even a word? It is now) with y’all (notice I slipped a little Americanese in there? It is so a word)
We don’t do Halloween here. Unless you count hiding with the lights off when drunk teens come looking for snacks around midnight.
Those costumes rock- friends of ours wore them last year and showed up in them at the ward party and I’m pretty sure I shot my drink out of my nose.
11yo girl: Pandora
9yo boy: Ghost of Christmas Present (he’ll wear a ghost costume, but then a big christmas gift over that… get it- Christmas present…)
6yo girl: generic gypsy/harem girl?? Leftover dress from 5 Halloweens ago
That is truly awesome. Truly.
You could make some cute bloomers to go under your costume, they wouldn’t have to be really long, but might help a little. Just and idea!
Taking the little Gabey Bug trick-or-treating with my family. I THOUGHT he was going to be a dragon, but that is now up in the air.
I’m going out, but as of yet feeling woefully uninspired about the whole thing.
I think the cutest “couple” costume I have ever seen was one where she wore an “oven”, a cardboard box painted and fixed up to look like one, and he wore an apron and a chef hat. Yes, she was pregnant and had a “bun” in the oven. It was great!
Apparently we will not only be twins, but “couple twins”… weird…
I’m wearing my little red costume while I teach on Friday :)
Love the costumes! Glad to know I am not alone in refusing to take the kiddos trick or treating, preferring to hang out, with a drink if possible, and pass out the candy.
I suck and am not dressing up but my 6-year-old is going to be Tinker Belle and my 3-year-old is going to be Sleeping Beauty.
And your costumes ROCKETH. Seriously. This photo cracks me up every time I see it.
Have fun tonight! And remember, baby likes chocolate. ;)
