Pumpkin costumes aren't just for kids - or are they?

When I think "pumpkin costume", this adult costume is NOT what comes to mind. I cannot imagine wearing such a thing but if you've done it, you should totally share your post/photos. I'm sure it looked great on you.

I also don't think of dogs in pumpkin costumes because I'm anti-dog clothing. But, to each his own, I'm sure your pup would be adorable in this costume.

1992-ishWhat I do think about is the pumpkin costume that we had made when we lived in the Philippines. My son was a very cute pumpkin, (where are all of the Halloween photos from 1983-1990?? MIA, that's where.) My next child was also a very cute pumpkin, (though she was not as cute because she refused to wear the hat because it messed up her hair. She also refused to wear the green tights because "green is not in style" - her words way back then, not mine.)

I also think of cute little onsies for infants, (though I never think of dads wearing the same costume.)

I'm amused by the incredibly inexpensive orange pumpkin leaf bag costume. You should make one and share photos.

Have you dressed as a pumpkin? Have your kids? Care to share the photos or any inexpensive pumpkin costume ideas that you might have?

Yeaaah. There's nothing like the early pregnancy to make you feel pretty old, hee. I was 22 myself.

And I am anti dog clothing too. It makes me a little sad that there's a store in my town called "High Maintenace Bitch."

THAT is brilliant.

I must show this to my big kids, they will totally appreciate it.

 We haven't done pumpkin costumes for Halloween. But my husband asked me to use a pumpkin costume pattern to make him an apple costume. He wanted to be an apple with a razor blade in it. I have a photo http://condo-blues.blogspot.com/2008/10/help-me-pi...

I never realized you became a mother at such a young age.

My children being 25, 22, and 18 -- argh, drives me insane. I want them little again (at least until I spend a half hour in the car with the three young ones, then I'm glad that three are grown!)

I miss the Philippines, actually. Great country. Also, the weather is fabulous (as opposed to Chicago where it's freaking freezing!)

My daughters usually end up as some kind of a princess.

I usually just put on a wig.

The photo is so sweet - do you ever miss those days? Not being in the Philippines but the kids being so young.

Thanks for THIS memory, D. ;) I was a pumpkin once for Halloween, in college. I am the ultimate, "no I'm not wearing a costume" person...and I thought at the last minute it seemed like a good (read: easy) idea to wear one of those jack-o-lantern garbage bags stuffed with newspaper. And also a hat like the one Richie Sambora wore in the Wanted Dead or Alive video? Because Young Guns and pumpkins go so great together?

Awful. And I don't know if I could possibly scare up a photo (emphasis on "scare") but if I do Im' not promising at ALL that it will go on here.

Agh, that was horrible.
