I realized there's about a month to go until Halloween so I'm curious; any of you already working on costumes for yourself/kids?

My son is suddenly into Spider-Man, and my daughter Spider-Gwen, so they asked to be that. My older son isn't big on superheroes, but digs Into The Spiderverse so he's going to do Miles Morales Spider-Man.

Easy enough to order from Target.

My quandary is in what I want to do to accompany them. Do I just try to find a Symbiote Spider-Man to add another to the set, do I try to do a villain, something unrelated?

It's the first year they're all trying to do the same thing, so my prior "inflatable dinosaur" costumes don't feel like they'll cut it. Unless I did an inflatable Spider-Rex. 🤔

Painted myself into a corner right from square 1, didn't I.

Ugh, it's $60. That's an investment for something I'll wear once. I at least expect my kids to want to dress up on theirs to play, but I'm not about to do work meetings in these.

Though no one would be that surprised...

Really? All in on inflatable Spider-Rex and not another Spider-Bloke? Though by my earlier logic I'm not likely to wear a Spider-Man costume often... Hanging upside down messes with my blood pressure too much for extended bedroom use. 🤔

It HAS to be an in-person meeting. Zoom can’t count. He’s gotta have the door held for him by Gene from Accounting so he doesn’t have his tail snagged by the door, or it doesn’t count.

While I would do it in person too, I'm not driving 4 hours to Maine, working an 8 hour shift and then driving 4 hours back just to facilitate that, unless you pay far more than just the cost of costume.

Yuck. Say no more. You’re off the hook on this one. I wouldn’t wanna sit in rush hour traffic in that thing.
