Farmer and animal (cow,sheep,chick etc.)

on the today show a few years ago a woman was the empire state building and she had her kid in a monkey costume (king kong).

Unoriginal but classic: Witch and pumpkin or cat.
LOVE the Leia/Yoda and Dorothy/Toto ideas, too.

Last year when my DD was just one I made her into an octopus. It sounds boring but it was so freaking cute and I got so many compliments. I dressed her in all black with a black ski cap. I put big googly eyes on the hat and then bought extra long knee socks from Target in coordinating purple, black, gray and white. I stuffed the socks and then sewed them to a sash and tied them around her waist. People died laughing and it was soooo adorable.

Why is it your first Halloween ever?

Are you just bitter because you aren't invited to a Halloween party each year?

2 years ago I was Leia, DH was Han Solo and DD (11 months) was Yoda We loved it! I made my costume--White turtle neck and long white skirt. Put foil around a thick belt. Got brown yarn and braided it and then made it into those cinnamon roll looking things and bobby pinned them to my head. I did buy the yoda costume for DD, but saved some money by doing our own for the adults.

it's my first Halloween ever and baby will be 4mo old. any super duper cool ideas?
TIA

Last year my cousin and her baby were Big Edie and Little Edie from Grey Gardens. I realize you've got to be a certain type of person to pull that off, but it was awesome. Oh, and her baby is a boy.

Hysterical. But I have a feeling that if the OP is someone who says "super duper cool" she's probably not the type to go for something like this.
