Only about a week or so left until the day when all bets are off. Who’s ready for the ghosts, goblins and spooks to emerge from the darkness? I know I am. This is the best day of the year if you ask me. Frolicking through the neighborhood in search of treats! What in the world is better than that? Okay, so I don’t exactly carry around a sack, but I take my daughter to dozens of doorsteps. Believe it or not, it’s actually more fun than when I trick-or-treated as a child. You want to know what else? One of the greatest aspects of this holiday is the attire. Just take a moment this Halloween to check out all the wonderful costumes. I’ll bet you see everything from a werewolf, to Leatherface, to a dog, to a dragon, to a Beauty and the Beast costume. The variety is priceless. Sort of like with the candy.

Little did I know, this Beauty and the Beast costume would be worn and tested many times before Halloween ever even arrived. For all you new parents out there, this basically goes with the territory. Kids love their costumes and they wear them as often as possible, before and even after Halloween night has past.

When you think of sports costumes adults, don’t just think of human couples. There are many other things that go together, and these ideas can make great costumes. If you are going to some sort of party that is having a competition, you aren’t going to win if you are dressed up like some famous couple that everybody is tired of hearing of day after day.

I would guess the a couples costume consisting of Angelina and Brad won’t be very original. They seem to be on the news everywhere, but most people are just plain tired of hearing about it. Use more imagination when you’re coming up with your couples costumes, and you might just be surprised at what you can come up with on your own.
