Halloween Help

It's October 3rd already, the countdown is on to stock up on candy and costumes. Stores are loaded with costumes... and believe it or not, some are starting to sell out.
This year, my husband and I are judging a Halloween costume contest, and as judges-- we are encouraged to dress up as well. So, I'm looking for some help here... any suggestions? Darren Kramer suggested we go as Shrek and Fiona.
Here's a look at a Fiona costume:
This year, apparently "interactive costumes" are big among college students. In a new survey where college kids listed their choices for costumes, one person said he was planning to be a memo board complete with magnets, push pins, stickers, and an outfit that people could write on. Another listed "pinata"...if you hit her, she'd throw candy at you. Hopefully people will be gentle.
So, share your thoughts... and while you're at it... let us know what you or your kids plan to be this year for Halloween. Or, maybe what/who you've dressed up as in past years.

I want to dress up like Batman,and stay that way.And I plan on making homemade fudge with walnut`s.We always like to dress as our alter ego to the max, on Halloween.If I could walk I would get a pillow case and and try to get some candy,with the threat of "TRICK OR TREAT".lol.~Peace Glenna~

Hey Sonia,
I suggest that you and your husband be Batman and Catwoman. You both are very fit people and great looking and I believe you guys would look awesome. My wife has dressed like supergirl and refuses to dress again as her because I tend to chase her with her looking so good. lol Either way , the choice is yours. You guys will look great anyway you choose. Have a great time!

After seeing you sit on that Harley this summer, I think you should go as a biker babe and your husband can go as a biker!

I would love to comment but have no idea what your hubby looks like or what his interest are. Can someone tell me and I will make a suggestion? Thanks!

My husband wants to be the rabbit from Donnie Darko. My son wants to be a ninja, but all the costumes for it are black. I don't want him to wear a dark outfit like that at night. Not safe. Although my husband says he can tape a whole bunch of those reflective strips to him. My toddler LOVES superman and is going to wear his superman jammies complete with cape. No money for that one this year!!!!! He wears it to bed everynight.
For your event you can always put on a suit and tie and stick him in a dress. That would really take the cake.

My son who is 3 years old is going as Thomas
The Tank Engine. I think you would look
great as Fiona. You are such a beautiful
person, you would look great however you
choose to dress.
Good Luck

You can always go as yourself and dress your husband as Darren (he, he)! Shrek and Fiona sounds good! Dorothy and one of the other characters from the Wizard of Oz.

Sonia, I don't think it matters what you dress up as, because you look fantastic all the time! I think Fiona is a GREAT choice for you, don't forget to post some pictures of yourself after the contest.

Hello everyone,
My wife and I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Sonia and her husband last year at an event. No only is her a very handsome man, but we were blown away by how down to earth Sonia and her husband were to us. Most of the time people in the public eye put up a phony display, but I can assure you all that Sonia and her husband are very good people. If anyone has a chance to meet them, I am sure you will agree with my assesment. Sonia, we hope we get to see you guys again sometime soon. God bless.

i learned in college we tend to dress up as "what we would realy like to be in our real life..."...so kids will dress up with a similar intention...i dress up as a priest (black outfit, red waist sash, white collar, and a cross...) and give out candy to the kids and "holy" wine to the parents...so just let your inner child manifast and let it rip...happy halloween...

I plan to get green body paint and dress as the Incredable Hulk.

I think that dressing like Fiona and Shrek would require some extra stuffing to really have the proper affect. How about the Phantom and Christine?

Joint project - "Good" 'n "Plenty"! :-)
---
Most fun I ever had dressing up was in high school with my brother... I cut & taped multiple lawn & leaf bags together to make a giant "garbage" bag that I could fit in, tied at the neck and teased the long hair and stuck "garbage" all over in it. Brother was the Garbage Man, uniformed and all, and proceeded to be my locomotion - carried me over his shoulder any time I wanted to move around the room. Inside the costume, I kept a stash of "silly string" and kept spraying it out of the neck tie. Much fun!
Be creative - don't buy a costume, though - think outside the box and RECYCLE things you've got laying around the house! :-)

My 3 year old son is going to be a fireman and my 4 month old daughter is going to be a pea in a pod.
As for ideas for you two, I suggest maybe Mr. and Mrs. Claus. You don't see many people doing it and it is a costume that may still be there because people are thinking about it in December not October. Good luck and take pictures for us! :)
