    Who is dressing for Halloween

    I love Halloween and will dress up for work. I have a neat hat and wig I wear to the Dr's office. Does anyone else dress up at work?

    I usually dress up somehow. A co-worker and I were talking about being Laverne and Shirley. But I just have to find something to wear. I need to get to the thrift store. Ohhhh, the one here in town is actually ran by the shelter I volunteer with and I've never even been there. Well there I go!! I'll have to make a trip there this weekend.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I usually go dressed as a cat -- black top, black pants and ears. Nothing outrageous because I'm the only one who does it. I also can't tell you how many customers look at me like I've lost my mind until they remember what day it is

    I dressed Callie up as Thomas the Tank last year when Cameron was a train conductor. This year, he is dressing up as a fireman (his current obsession), so I asked him what he wanted Callie to be. I was thinking of making her a fire engine. Nope, Cameron is insisting I make her into a dalmation. Any ideas of how I can get black spots on her?

    My very best Halloween costume, in my entire life, was the year I dressed up as a hockey puck. It was a huge success; one I could never again replicate.

    no. I don't work outside the home so the only person to dress up for is hannah. but it might get a little warm in a costume chasing after her lol.

    but I WILL be carving and painting pumpkins and decorating and such and taking hannah out trick or treating




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    I am! *raises hand* I'm being Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd. I think I can put a suitable costume together for about $20. I work at a horse barn, mostly with little kids, so I can dress up if I want to! It's a Saturday so I'll have like 4 kids to teach in a row. We have a Halloween fun show the week before too and there is a costume class. My horse will be Sweeney Todd and I'll wear my Lovett costume to ride him.

    I always have at least a mask, almost always some kind of animal! Except one year I dressed as a Christmas tree, as I had a good dark green skirt and a green coat. I attach them to my glasses, so I can still see. Haven't decided what I'll be this year.

    I will be dressed up as a tree in the morning. (It will be the near full moon at the end of October, aka the deer will be in rut.) Then depending on the weather I might do something that compliments whatever Hannah dresses up as to take her around a bit. But if it is too warm I will have to pass.

    But we all know the best part of this time of year are pumpkins and seasoned pumpkin seeds! YUM!

    I don't dress up any more, but when I was working, most everyone in the office dressed up - me included.

    My best one was as a punk rocker. I wore tight leather pants and a leather vest, high heeled boots, a purple wig that was long and curly, exaggerated eye and face makeup. I would have fit right in with any punk rock groupies of the day.

    Oops - and how could I forget my jewelry and accessories??? - leather bracelets and belt with metal spikes and chains!!!

    Are you kidding?!?! I adore Halloween.

    Not sure what I'm wearing, but since it falls on a Saturday this year, I don't plan to dress up for work.

    We'll likely dress up and pass out candy at Grandma's.

    Charcoal??? That would wash right off.

    How about the stick on dots and circles like you find in the stationery section of the stores, or a place like Staples. I don't believe I've ever seen any black ones, but you could color them black with an ink marker and let them dry good before applying.
