    Or for you...Lol! So what's everyone making their kids out to be this year? Rumor has it Jason has his kid in some pink lepord skivy thing.... J/K...
    Looks like I'm stuck making the Master Chief costume for my nine year old. It's from the video game Halo... pretty cool game BTW. Costume is being a PITA though!

    Here's the helmet.

    Added some batteries and some LEDs for the realistic touch.

    Damn Drew, that is gonna be a GREAT costume. Your boy will be the ENVY for Halloween.

    Pretty well the "usual" here.

    One EMO punk, one Drunken bum (no, that's not my costume), a fairy princess and Jason.

    All costumes easy to make but Jason required a little more thought.

    Here's his mask with liberal red Rustoleum and "tool" made of a Stella Artois case.

    My wife and I don't have any kids but our (2) Siberian Huskies (which we consider our kids) will be wearing Pumpkin customes lol.

    My brother plays Halo a lot and thats a pretty creative costume you got going for your son. Like what you have done Drew!

    Ya, the house will be up and running again this year. Kind of just wish I ordered the dang thing. BTW... a hot glue gun melts stirofoam (sp?) and will burn the sh1t out of your fingers! Lol!

    At least my painter's gun worked long enough to get a solid color down instead of just spattering all over the place... you guys are killin' me! Lol!

    We tride to dress up the dogs last year... no go... They wont do the head pieces, Bella eatsEVERYTHING and Hemi just lays there if you put something on him... I think he gets too embarased to go out in public with a Yoda outfit on. Either that, or he was jealous of Buddy's Darth Vador costume!

    No, just painted the metal scratches on it. He bought it at a movie place and we have to make everything else.

    Nice! Gotta have some "B&G" (blood and guts)... I use a real chain saw in my yard with one of my dummies, or myself. It's electric, but I take off the chain and have a remote control for it. Usually put it right by the walkway in front of the graveyard.

    Lol! Thats funny. Its amazing how dogs react to certain things. My one dog, Motegi, does the samething if he sees you holding a dog harness of any sort. You put it on him and he will just lay down and not want to move.... he tries to take it off. But putting a Pumpkin costume (body suit and the patch top on his head) on him he's okay with... odd.

    You just never know with dogs, they are so much like humans.

    LOL my huskies HATE costumes. They figured out how to take them off and shred them the one time we tried.

    My little girl had her incisors come in before her top 2 teeth so I wanted to dress her up as dracula. I was veto'd and she is gonna be a dragonfly. :thongue2:

    Yep... sometimes TOO much like one of the kids...Lol!

    I think when it comes to the kids, at least before they get a certain age, Mom always wins the costume choice!
