I grew up watching (and loving) scary movies, Elvira, Nightmare on Elm Street, Tales from the Crypt, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Twilight Zone. I thank my mom & grandma for that! :) Child's Play was a movie I really enjoyed. It freaked the crap out of me. I even have the book from the movie. Haha. So it's only fitting that my child needed to be Chucky for Halloween. Now I had to find the magic to put it together.
My kid HATES hats, so my first thought was to spray his hair with red hairspray. However, he has fine super blonde beautiful hair. I didn't want it to look pink for Christmas pictures. So I thought I would buy a wig & just hope he kept it on for some pictures. I also needed to find a "rainbow" striped shirt. I looked EVERYWHERE! Even in the little girls' sections. No shirt. So I got this one from the thrift store. Good enough.
As for the wig, I had a hard time finding one. I had 2 reddish beards in my buggy and was going to just bobby pin them on him, then I saw this caveman wig & beard set. Score! {little did I know I bought a two-fer!}
The overalls, scars, & make-up we had. Oh yeah, and I bought him a knife.
Cuteset.....Chucky Doll......ever
HAHA! I love how creepy he is from the side & behind. Totally looks the part!
He had fun at this annual halloween costume photo shoot. He was stabbing the pumpkins with his knife and coloring the ground with chalk.
HAHAHA!
I took him to visit his great-grandparents, with Jimmy's parents to go trick-or-treating at their place. Jimmy's grandparents were passing out candy titled Child's Play! Holy awesomeness!! Haha
He did so well! He walked all through the halls and held out his pumpkin for candy. At one of the stops, he set his pumpkin down & grabbed the lady's pumpkin instead. Haha
Due to the weather, our trick-or-treating was pushed back a few days. It worked out great though! Jimmy was able to be there!! We made our first stop at my parents' house for some tricks. :) Then my mom came with us to go downtown.
I wish the right picture was in focus, but oh well. He was posing for pictures. Everyone kept saying what a great costume he had. My mom got all of it on video for us! He's going to love it when he gets older. One guy said, "best costume! Hands down!" It was pretty cool! I'm so glad that Jimmy was able to take off work to take Caden on his first REAL trick-or-treating. Last year, he stayed in his stroller.
This year, he walked to EVERY house! He even kept his wig on all night!
He did really well, and now I can eat all of the candy he collected!!!

Holy Crap! That's a freaky costume. I'm glad Caden had fun (and you, of course, with your gobs of candy to now eat haha) trick or treating! :)
