Have such a fun trip! Ow- best costume ever- Josh and I dressed up as a double dare team a few years ago...it was awesome :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sn-AP! Such a good month for candy - or anything from TJ's! Have a great road trip!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute best costume of all time - okay, well there were two but if I had to pick - I went as Linda Richmond for Halloween my sophomore year in high school. You know, Coffee Talk, from SNL. Mike Meyers' mother in law? With the fake nails, big hair, bad sweaters, and the bad Long Island accent? I ROCKED that shiz.
Rhode Island is neitha' a Rhode nor an Island. Discuss!
i love CAT outfit. the reason for this is because it was my FIRST costume that I made myself!
ReplyDeletei've never gotten more creative than the cat costume idea - i just can never think of anything! ~gretchen
ReplyDeleteI think my best costume would be the year I dressed up as a pregnant lady. I was in college and rocked out the spandex with towels duct taped around my waist and socks in my bra. Sounds bad, but I swear it looked real. We went to this huge party and people were like, uh, I don't think you should be drinking.
ReplyDeleteme and my sister and a more petite friend (i'm a twin, me and my twin sister) dressed up as...AN OREO. me and my sister wore all black, friend wore all white. =D
ReplyDeleteWe did a double dare thing too - we had two teams and throughout the night we had physical challenges (who can run to the next party and chug a beer the fastest!). Times have changed!
ReplyDeleteI havent been too creative with the costumes since I am older but when I was younger I went as a Dominos pizza box one year. It was pretty freakin funny. I had cardboard infront and back that I spray painted. Even funnier was I was probably a little too old to be dressing up and ended up with shaving cream all over the box!
ReplyDeletebest costume? hmm...I was a jack in a box one year. I guess that's sorta lame, though, hehee. My fave costume was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.:-)
ReplyDeleteFun contest idea! My favorite costume was a joint effort - my friend and I dressed as the Doublemint Twins. We found short GREEN plaid skirts, these awf sweaters and had matching accessories. The night of the costume party we decided to add faux eyelashes which seemed like a great idea, but made us look more drag-queen esque! It was a fun night.

love the breakfast switcheroo. sounds faboosh.
ReplyDeleteBest Halloween costume.. ? oh man, thats so hard. I was a bat once.. and a princess.. my bat costume was pretty rad. I was about 11.. so stoked on it.
Last year I was Sarah Palin. It was pretty awesome.
ReplyDeletenumerous deux
ReplyDeletei linked vous
say whaaa.
hope i winzie!
I think my best costume was when I was GI Joe in pre-kindergarden. I was such a tomboy and I couldn't understand why my parents wouldn't let me take my brother's fake gun to school with me as part of my outfit. Gotta love being five. :)
ReplyDeleteI was also a recycling bin one year...that was fun. And the world! That was an awesome one. Thanks mom for all the sewing!
peanutbutter&jelly. hands down best ever. Get a partner and do it up. So fun!
ReplyDeleteI am also seriously jealous of your greek yogurt right now. Enjoy some for me girl
I had lots of great costumes because my mom made them all. My favorite was a Wilma Flinstone costume. My mom even made a huge pearl necklace and I sprayed my hair orange.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I didn't have any super awesome costumes. The most fitting one was when I dressed up as a jockey. I was horse OBSESSED when I was younger, and I actually bought a genuine jockey shirt (jockey silks) on ebay. Then I wore my breeches, hard hat, tall boots, and I carried my crop around. I was under 5'0, so it was also effective ;) I'm pretty sure I "cantered" around, too. Yea, I'm sure I cantered. Haha!
ReplyDeleteHave a super fun roadtrip!
oooooh candy :-) I was once a picnic blanket. Yup. A huge square checkered blanket with plastic dishes, food, and ants glued on.
ReplyDeleteI think the best was one that my mom came up with when I was little. I was snow white, and my little sister was Dopey. I still hold that over her to this day :)
ReplyDeletehey girl!
ReplyDeletegreat blog!
I linked back on my blog
http://onefitfoodie.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-promised-you-all-foodie-filled-post.html
my best costume was beingg a ba of peanut m&M's one year. I blew up all diff colored ballons and put them in a clear plastic bag and I wore it as my outfit, not to mention had a great M&M bag sign on the front of me hahaha
Yeah, one year I dressed up as a candy corn. Why? Oh, I may just have a slight (only slight) obsession with candy corn. Their shape, color, taste, all of the above, they're just that good!
ReplyDelete:)
A couple years ago I went out in my pajamas and told all the guys I met that I was "the girl of their dreams". Clever? Or lazy... you be the judge ;)

ReplyDeleteMaybe I actually need to comment twice for two entries? Yeah... I want this loot!
My favorite was a dominatrix outfit one college year. What was I thinking?!
ReplyDeleteaha in 3rd grade I made my own peacock costume with an old ballerina recital outfit. i won a prize!
ReplyDeleteBEST Halloween costume of all time for me, Edward Scissor Hands!! I was in third grade and he was all I wanted to be. My mom painted my face slightly white, and we made scars for my face. Then we made the scissors with cardboard and foil, and I dressed in all black with a black wig. It was GREAT!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and NO SHAME on the Mark all as read button!! Ferreal!
ReplyDeleteOne of my costumes? I was Dorothy once with the ruby red slippers and all - maybe I'll do that again this year!?
It wasn't my costume, but a couple years ago my husband went as J Timberlake "Its my Dick in a Box". It was hysterical!
ReplyDeleteMy best halloween costume ever? Wow this is a tough one...I'm going to have to go with this sweet costume (well it was when I was 10 or whatever) that my mom made for me that was dalmatian print - it was a full body furry suit (which is kind of creepy now that I think about it but whatevs) So I was pretty much one of the 101 Dalmatians...pretty bad a$$ I know haha!
ReplyDeleteMy best halloween costume was when my husband and I dressed up as Wilma and Fred Flintstone.
ReplyDeleteMy best Halloween costume was when I was a Hershey Kiss! I wore a big pointy hat on my head with the label sticking out and a hula hoop around my waste!

Last year I dressed as a flapper and it was the best costume ever! I rented the dress from a vintage shop so it looked like a legit flapper and I did my hair and make up 30's style! I love dressing up!!!
ReplyDeletelinked back to your post here....http://breannesbites.blogspot.com/2009/10/giveaway.html
ReplyDeleteKeeping with the candy theme here, my best Halloween costume was an M&M costume my mom made when I was a kid, haha. What can I say, she's a crafty lady!
ReplyDeletexmeliss182x@yahoo.com
my all time fav halloween outfit was when i was a hippie ;) i really rocked the outfit!!
ReplyDeletejenna
aw, have a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteMy BEST costume was dressing up as Mary Catherine Gallagher from SNL / Superstar. IT was spot on and I had SO much fun that night.
My best costume for halloween was a homemade robot costume complete with dials and everything. I had such a great time working on it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely when I was an American Gladiator! Or Ninja Turtle...
ReplyDeleteMy best costume was Mr. Peanut!
ReplyDeleteMy best costume of all time was when I was a bottle of Ketchup!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say I rock the witch costume pretty good!
ReplyDeleteMMMm.
ReplyDeleteOk best costume: Raggedy Ann when I was five. I was the cutest, most creative five year old.
are you the cutest thing or what? I def. thought your candilicious giveaway was going to be candles.. gotta say, I'm happy to see candy instead :)
ReplyDeleteyou are hilar. i feel no remorse when i click all as read...desperate times calls for desperate measures, haha...and who can honestly read 300 blog posts? farealz. anyways, im all about the package of goodies, so looks like it works to my advantage!
ReplyDeletebest halloween costume was homemade (by my roomie who was in design school) and me and my other two roomies went as 3 peas in a pod. we looked RIDIC! we were in head to toe green, and they were like tinkerbell on crack meets high fashion meets green toulle and tights meets absinthe...really? i cant believe we actually convinced ourselves that it was awesome. it was heinous.
wow my best costume...probably last year when I was a gold digger. I wore this fantastic gold dress, with a small kids shovel tied to a string of pearls.. It was just fun!
ReplyDeletelinked it up!! http://runtothefinish.blogspot.com/2009/10/opinions-wanted-friday-hoots-and.html
ReplyDeletemy best cotume ever was in high school. I was naughty Mrs. Clause and pretty much won every contest that halloween because it was soooo funny. Last year I was sarah palin, but I found out it wasnt as original as i thought since everyone and their mom's were sarah palin LOL

Last year I had an inflatable ostrich with legs as my suit, and I threw on a plaid shirt and cowboy hat to look like an ostrich rider
ReplyDeletebest halloween costume? Hm... I was a cow twice- in 7th grade and in 9th grade. What young girl chooses to dress up as a cow? Only me ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip! My best costume was an oreo :)
ReplyDeleteNot my best costume, but I was a lifesavers roll when I was about 12! Ha that was a funny year.. Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh.. my "best" halloween costume - maybe not. But definitely most creative. One year my neighbor and I were the coca cola white polar bears.. and we made our costumes. When we went trick or treating we got guesses from albino squirrels, to bunny rabbits, but nothing even close to the bears!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go with the first costume I've made totally myself... mario! Ok, not terribly cool, but I was darn proud of myself.
ReplyDeleteps...protein oats are seriously the best new way to eat my oats, perfect to take to the hospital!
Hmm my best costume--probably going to be this year. I'm gonna be some kind of chef! :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I only dressed up for Halloween like 3 times in my life. Haha, I was always too shy to knock on doors and ask for candy, so I only went when my brothers were with me. Considering they are both quite a bit older than me, I never had much of a chance to trick or treat. Now that I've completely outgrown my whole "shy" phase, I'm totally missing my years of getting candy!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I did look pretty darn cute when I was about 4 years old and wore a green dinosaur costume. I even had gloves that my mom sewed felt "nails" on.

In middle school we were encouraged to wear costumes to school for halloween, so every year during the day I would be a "baby"... what a wonderful excuse to wear pajama pants and slippers to class :-)
ReplyDeleteso i don't know if it's my best, but it's definitely my favorite - - in fifth grade i dressed up as a hippie! i had SO much fun with it, and i'm pretty sure i was the only one out there dressed in tie dye and flowers in my hair... :)
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway!
Whoa... Fav costume? Definitely my dead doll thing. :) It was awesome, and looked just like this:

My best halloween costume of all time was when I was 6 years old - I was Sabastian The lobster from Little mermaid - full red lobster suit with crabby hands and my face was also painted red. I had to waddle the costume was so huge. And to make it even better, my mom dressed up as a lobster with me as well. bahahah.

ReplyDeleterideit4@comcast.net
Okay, I think my best costume was one of two things (both food items, I guess I've always been a foodie)!
ReplyDelete1. Hershey's Kiss - 3rd, grade. I was a giant silver Hershey's kiss. Silver face and everything.
2. Alphabet Soup - It was the first costume that I made on my own. I ironed white letters onto a red dress that I made.
Thanks for the entry!
my favorite costume was when i wore my equestrian gear. but my favorite costume osmeone else has worn was my friend who put a white sheet over himself and walked on his knees to get candy and then he would stand up and run away. its even funnier because he is way over 6'!!

ReplyDeleteI don't usually do costumes anymore (that must change this year!) but I did a Greek goddess costume in high school that turned out very well.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite costume was being peanut butter. My best friend was jelly. For my costume, I bought tan fabric that I sewed into a dress and then bought real peanuts that I used to make a necklace and barrett and decorations for my shoes.

ReplyDeleteI was a "dead" cheerleader one year. I really enjoyed it for some reason. It was a popular costume that year with kids at my school.
ReplyDeleteThe best costume I wore to a halloween party was when I was 14 and a big fan of Madonna, so I went as the "cone bra" Madonna with the blonde hair tied back and the long ponytail.

I'm not that creative when it comes to Halloween Costumes, but once I saw a "mail order bride" rolling down the street in a huge box. She was Asian and in a wedding dress. I thought it was very creative.

My favorite costume of all time? Probs when I went as a good witch. I was 5 - my costume was black with neon stars all over it, I had a little itty bitty broom, and a hat that was as big as I was. The pictures are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love halloween - I'm abroad this year, so I'm interested in how things will work out!
One year I was spaghetti and meatballs. I used a mop head and made it into a hat for the spaghetti, and attached brown balls of yarn to it for the meatballs. It was by far my most creative costume over the years!
ReplyDeleteYou can see most every halloween costume I've ever worn here:

ReplyDeleteWell, I don't celebrate Halloween, but I've been to plenty of costume parties, so I hope it's okay if I post what my favourite costume has been :) It was at an 80's theme party and so the outfits were hilarious! I had a really high ponytail to the left of my head, bright blue eye makeup, red lipstick, leg warmers, an oversized shirt, it was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy best halloween costume was a pumpkin costume.
