Works for Me Wednesday: Halloween Costume Ideas


Creating a unique or weird Halloween costume shows originality and creativity. Try taking a popular phrase such as "killing time" and create a costume from that. Or take a popular movie or book title and add your own twist to the words. Weird and unique costume ideas can also be found on the internet. Many of these costumes are also home-made so there is very little expense in creating them.

 I usually wait to the last minute and never figure out a costume.  Since it is October already, I want to try to plan ahead.
Here are some unique and weird ideas to help you this Halloween season.

1. A Highway: Wear all black sweat suit, stick on white or yellow tape on your legs and chest to resemble lines in a road. Attach tiny cars and road signs onto your pants and shirt.


2. Nudist on Strike: Wear normal clothes and wear a sign around your neck that says "Nudist on Strike."


3.  Cheating Husband: Men can wear a button down shirt that is buttoned all wrong, pants slightly unzipped, shoes untied or on wrong feet, lipstick kisses on collar, shirt, neck or even on pants and hair messed up. Tell people you didn't dress in costume, you forgot about the party and just dropped what you were doing to come over. 


4. Cheating Wife: Women can wear a skirt with the back tucked into pantyhose; hair messed up, make-up smeared and bra on the outside of shirt.



5.  Leaf Blower: Wear regular clothes. Wear a hat with a leaf hanging down from the rim so that the leaf is in front of your face. When people ask what you are blow on he leaf and make them guess.



6. Tornado: Wear all black or gray clothing. Sew strings of varying lengths all over your outfit. On the ends of the string, tie on tiny houses, people, cars, animals, etc. When people ask what you are, spin around fast and make sounds like a tornado.

7.. Cereal Killer: Clothing should be kind of rugged and torn. Carry a bloody knife and have blood on your clothes. Attach labels or actual little cereal boxes all over your clothes.


Our Visit To the Pumpkin Patch



This Saturday we took our grandson to the local "Pumpkin Patch" so he could pick out his pumpkin for Halloween.  His parents had taken him earlier in the month, but the grandparents (us) wanted to take him to the "Pumpkin Patch" too.



  The "Patch" was  sponsored by a local boyscout troop and held at a local church.  We picked up the grandson, and off we went to see what kind of pumpkins he was going to choose.





As adults, my husband and I thought he would want to get the biggest pumpkin possible. Not so much.  He really had no interest in the BIG pumpkins.






He definitely went for the smaller ( in our eyes) pumpkins.  But it is all about perspective, isn't it?  These tiny pumpkins were the perfect size for him. 


 It was a great day for picking pumpkins!   And definitely not expensive.  We bought these three little pumpkins for $1.50.
