I’m glad that all my siblings are careful with what my nieces/nephews are allowed to wear! My friends and I are going as the superheros from Southpark (Mysterion, The Coon, General Disarray, and Professor Chaos) We’ll all be fully clothed this year.

It is amazing isn’t it, this accepted sexualisation of children as long as it’s for a specific date. And more to the point, not only are they allowed to dress up this way but they are then ENCOURAGED to go and knock on a stranger’s door in that get up.

Thank god I have sons…

Those costumes are nasty! We always go to a halloween party in the church (ironic I know, but great fun). This year K wants to dress up as the grim reaper. A floor length black cloak is fine with me!!!

LOVE this post – especially the conversation u had with 4/5 in the bath. As u know Halloween is not so big in the UK but every year it gathers momentum. Little C (nearly 4) is already invited to go trick and treating with his best friend Ines from accross the road. Last year on Halloween Baby C was 1 day old on Halloween and was still in hospital. Little C was really scared by the ghosts and goblins knocking on the door for Haribo (or so my mum told me)…..but now he has a new obsession in his life – SWEETIES…..can’t see a few frigtening costumes putting him off a sweet-a-thon. Especially as he still thinks it’s a treat to have 5 choc buttons in one go. I’m desperate to dress baby c up as a pumpkin! xx

Love the black cat outfit. Way more fun to make it yourself. She’ll appreciate it alot more than the more polished outfits.

I loathe making fancy dress outfits. my eldest (4) gets all excited and then won’t wear it, and the youngest (2) just goes a bit mental and then rips it off. That is before the sugar fest starts… I draw a delicate coloured veil over the scene once they get their hands on the good stuff. It isn’t a pretty site.

Horrifying! I don’t veto the disney thing, but was gratified Geekygirl chose a Fancy Nancy outfit over tinkerbell. Though she may have changed her mind by halloween.
