Life
If you love Halloween, but think you're too old for tricks and treats, you don't have to be ashamed to get in on the act. Don't stand on the sidelines in your mom jeans — unless of course, they're a part of your costume. Having a kid is the perfect excuse for an adult to dress up. And lucky for you, there are plenty of fun and easy costumes for parents, because Halloween isn't just about the kids.
From historical figures to superheroes to cartoon characters, you and your partner can have just as much fun as your kids with costumes that look great and don't require a lot of effort. Whether you want to make it yourself or let someone else do the work, your entire family can coordinate a picture perfect look that will leave you with plenty of great memories.
This Halloween, it's totally cool to get dressed up to go out. After all, your kid is going to need a someone to accompany her while she's trick-or-treating. And no one is going to give candy to someone who isn't in costume. Just make sure you share more than the healthy stuff with your kids.
