I'm having trouble figuring out a Halloween costume for this year. I have a great witch costume that I typically wear and that I might break out this year for answering the door and handing out candy, but I need another costume for our annual "trunk or treat" event at church (we decorate the open trunks of our cars and the kids go from car to car collecting treats -- I'm handing out decorated sugar cookies instead of candy). I need something that is appropriate for the venue. I can make my own costume, I'm just blanking on ideas, anyone have any good ideas?

cousin IT? (comes to mind from "trunk"

elephant (ditto on trunk)

peanut (ditto on trunk)

pirate -- trunk is a treasure chest

wrap yourself in foil and go as a leftover!


I like the pirate theme with treasure chest trunk.

Cookie monster

i saw the cutest thing in the martha stewart magazine for october. it's a detective costume for you... and your dog! it's just a houndstooth cape with matching hat and a cape for your doggie. the templates and everything are on marthastewart.com. i've been bugging my mother to make this for me and my two rascals!
