Welcome to Gaia! ::

Corpse Bride was what my little one wanted to be last Halloween.. until we saw a "Stephanie" (from Lazytown) costume that we talked her into.

She loved the movie and had just turned four when she saw it. I thought it was a little "creepy" but not scary or evil. I actually thought the story was cute 3nodding

It looks like we will be dressing her in the Corpse Bride this year, unless we can sway her to something else (that particular costume was pretty pricey where we saw it)

Yeah I think its expensive too, and honestly think its a waste of money to spend that much on a costume that will only be worn once, twice if we're lucky. But I have learned that it does me no good to open my mouth and voice my opinions to his mother, because she will override my decisions and do it no matter what. Irks me to the extreme, but I've also learned its better to attempt to ignore her sweatdrop

My parents never spent money on halloween costumes. They had a couple for us that were either handmade or hand-me-down (cat, bunny, ladybug, and witch,) and we rotated. I was mentioning to Jason today too that I NEVER got new clothes until I was old enough to ride my bike out and buy myself a shirt that I liked (and I didn't do that often. My first dress I bought the summer before my Senior year.) Everything was hand-me-down.

Now Jason's family has a big tradition with Halloween, where they always have 2 parties: One for the kids to invite their school friends, and a second usually the following night for just the family (34 people!) and everybody makes a huge deal about surprising everybody else with a unique costume that nobody's ever seen/worn before. The first few years I picked out new costumes, like French Maid, Sorceress, Fairy, but then I realized how expensive this was going to get and started to create my own. I used stuff I had and went as Jason, then gothic, then a school teacher... This year I want to use stuff I have too, or maybe borrow. Jade's gotten a new costume every year, and she's usually a princess of some sort, and we figure she can reuse the dresses for dress-up, but she doesn't even like to play dress-up like her cousins do! At least THEY get use out of it when they come over! rofl



Yikes, yeah that doesn't seem like a very wise move on her part. stare I'd have issues with that too.

Guess what I'm gonna be razz

going as a winged cat. i have the cat ears and tail. and at walmart ther is like a tank top kind of thing with devil wings atached. and there is one that is black with matilc purple trim.
