Top Costumes ~ if you dress baby for Halloween Holiday
I don't plan on taking Olivia Trick or Treating this year ~ I think most likely she will help pass candy and enjoy looking at all of the different trick or treaters that stop.
She might have dress up at school and I will dress her in something ~ she loves to play dress up ~
If you have a holiday party here are some ideas for dressing up baby :

I do find it strange that in the US people dress kids in 'nice' costumes for halloween - here even the smallest little one will be a ghost or a witch or a vampire! LOL! I've been dragging my T&T'ing since they could walk and always dripping in fake blood etc.....are we a darker race perhaps? I know my sis in the US dresses her's like scooby doo, ballerina's etc....that's never done here. Anyone else know why this would be?

My brother had Grace in a Giraffe costume last year. I favor your attitude towards it enjoying witches and the like. Now though because they do a dress up party in school it has to be an innocent costume. No blood, no swords, no gore ~ anything that can scare is not permitted in the school and even if a little one dresses as a pirate they can't have a hook for one arm. If they come with the hook or even a drop of blood in our district they are punished~ anything construed as a weapon is punishable by expulsion. I guess that's why the costumes are as they are now.
I know when we were little the gorier the better and Mom went all out and we had some totally fantastic costumes. She dressed as well. She actually made quite a few costumes for folks ~ she got into it.
Very sad over here I can't take Olivia trick or treating because folks like to sabotage the candy passed. They fill fruits with razors and candies with poison. Our hospital will xray and check everything ~ so when she gets older that will be the route we go, but she is at an age this year where she doesn't know what she is missing and it's just too damn depressing to take a child trick or treating and then have to go have the candy scanned before they can dig in...

Good god - i hope they never have an amputee in that school! That's ridiculous! Here the kids go into school as zombies, mummies and other gorey things and the kids are from ages 4 -12 and no problem. Everyone knows it's just dressing up. I feel that it's healthy for them to see friends dress up and then know it's ok etc
Mind you re. candy etc I was born in Canada and remember being told re. T&T and our mom cutting all the fruit and checking the candy wrappers etc - and that was back in the 1960's! We haven't come across anything like that here as yet...

I can remember in 1st grade I did Zak as a Vampire ~ I knew about the blood so we couldn't have any of that but I did his lips real red ~ it wasn't even for the blood effect if was to contrast with his facial makeup ~ they made me come to the school and remove his lipstick. Now mind you ~ I had donated several boxes of kleenex ~ nose tissue. That year I believe each student was to bring in 3 boxes... And nobody there could grab a tissue and dab his lips. I was steaming when they called and insisted I leave work and drive over.
That was many years ago when I was up to date on what was permitted as far as costumes ~ I would think by this time we are not permitted to dress up in school but not really certain. Our Trick or Treat has been cut from 3 hours to 1hour in some places a half hour in most if they haven't scheduled a community event and then there isn't trick or treat at all.
So glad you are able to dress all up and not have to worry about needles and razors or the like. Wish we could get ourselves sorted here.

Good God! I would have eaten them alive!!! Jeepers - what total crapola! No, there are no restrictions here, I suppose it's a relatively new thing in ireland really, we did it in our village as we had come from canada but the majority of families wouldn't have done it early on when we were growing up in Ireland. It was more house parties with bobbing for apples etc and the more gruesome the costume the better! LOL! many sheets were destroyed, cut up, painted etc. Now a lot of the kids in our local village do it as i say and look pretty scary. I love halloween, always have done!
