Who is dressing up for Halloween? What are you going to be? Are you going to wear it all day?

Last year I was princess Jasmine, the year before that I was Pocohantas, this year I am thinking Cleopatra. ;
We always have a Halloween party after nap. The parents send in the costumes and we change after our Halloween treat, we read a Halloween book, do our finger play that we have worked on, and then dance. I have a disco ball and a cd of kids Halloween songs. I invite parents to attend during this time and a few usually do. It's super fun and I find that since kids are so wound up to go trick or treating, this helps get some of that energy out in a positive way.

I've done it in the passed, I didn't get the response I was hoping to get from the kids so I never dressed up again

I probably will. I was a baseball player last year, and thinking of being a doctor this year (if I can steal some scrubs from my nurse sister)! I'll wear it all day.

I usually just wear a Halloween shirt.

We are opened 2nd shift & will have children during Trick or Treating. We are dressing up like babies, passing out candy & business cards. Who knows..., it may bring in a client or two!!!

Sorry I couldn't resist being a smart-alec
My daycare kids will all come in costume. We will have a Halloween party complete with a piņata, bobbing for apples and tons of fun and games.
I am closed the next day so hopefully everything will be out of their systems by the time they return on Monday.
I do send out a note warning parents that I will send kids home if they are having any residual side effects from "candy hangovers"

I love dressing up! This year I will be a sorceress/magician, last year I was a ghost and the year before I was a banana. Yeah, I'm not ashamed

haha BlackCat!
Not dressing up for work, but my husband got swtched to 1st shift a while back, so this is the first year he'll be with us for trick-or-treating & I just got my hair cut in a 1920's bob & I have cat-eye glasses, so our family costume theme is Scooby Doo. I'm obviously Velma, our 2.5 yr old is Scooby, and my husband is Daphne.

I'm closed Tues/Thurs so I will not be dressing up. Instead I will get to bare the burdon of "the morning after"

I am wearing a Halloween Tee shirt! Cute and comfy for the whole day!

I am absolutely dressing up. I usually make my costume and make sure it is something I can take parts off if I get hot, during lunch, diapers, etc. Last year I was an owl- put felt "feathers" that I cut out on a sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off and wore a t-shirt under it. I am not sure what I am doing this year.
thetoddlerwhisper 02:53 PM 10-13-2013
absolutely. ill be wonderwoman this year and am encouraging parents to dressup kiddos
JoseyJo 03:53 PM 10-13-2013
I'm gonna be a pirate or a poodle skirt girl. I will prob where all day unless it gets too hot! We have treats that we have made during the week, a trick or treat parade up the street and usually a costume dance party

I don't know what I'm going to be this year but I do know my husband will conveniently be out of state at work (amazing how that happens every year) and I will be taking 7 children trickier treating this year lol. It's one of the fun things about doing afternoon and night shift lol.

We dress up and have a party here! I was a pumpkin last year because that's what the kids voted for. I might be that again if I get lazy.

LOL! I am going to be a 38 year old daycare provider/mom. Actually, I do think I have some Halloween socks, so I'll probably wear those. My daughter is going to be a cheerleader and my husband will dress up as a football player for pictures with her.

Hubby & I will dress up for our two adult sons' Halloween party... (not sure what we will be yet!), but on Halloween day, I will be wearing jeans and my tee shirt that says, "This is my Grandma costume"! I got to wear it for the first time last year & cannot wait to wear it again!
My granddaughter was born last year on Oct 2, so I was a brand new grandma!
