I'm a simple gal 
I wear all black, throw on a pair of kitty ears and paint on a few whiskers. Voila! A kitty cat.
The kids get a KICK out of me "dressing" up in a costume.
I learned my lesson on spending big bucks on a costume while doing daycare. While bending down to pick up a child for a diaper change, the seem on my behind broke open and oops!
A few of my daycare parents got a nice view of my underwear and I was so mortified for the next couple weeks. The icing on the cake was a newly potty trained dcg shouting "Miss T? You wear panties, too? "
Never again, my friend. Never again.

Some years I dress up and others I don't.
One of my favorites is to wear my PJ's! It's comfortable! I wear fuzzy slippers and back comb my hair to look tousled and crazy. Quick and easy.

I have little face masks or headbands with different things on them. I will throw one on in the morning, and change it after lunch for them.
Im thinking it will be pj day for me this year, and maybe make a diaper out of a sheet. Be a baby!

I saw the baby get up in the store while I was looking for simple do myself ideas. I wondered how that would go over with parents.... I bet the kids would love it and think its funny.
Im thinking the simple cat sounds good or maybe a spider? Not sure I am up to the task of creating mulitple legs though. Im not that great at sewing

The kids and I all wear our pajamas on Halloween and have a party!
I don't want to be responsible for their costumes and in our town there are plenty of activities going on the week of Halloween, so they have lots of opportunities to wear them.

My hair is fairly short, so it's not too hard. My daughter has waist length hair and did it once for a play and it took forever to comb it out! So I guess it depends on your hair!i'm curious, i've never backcombed my hair before, but how is it to brush out after it's done?
