DD will be a black cat, which is amusing because we have a real black cat who is about the same size as DD (actually the real cat is a little bigger, he's enormous)
DS1 says clone trooper, but I am expecting him to change his mind. DS2 seems torn between Donatello (the ninja turtle), Rocket Raccoon (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Luigi. Not sure about DS3.
My daughter wants to be hello kitty. Most "customs" for HK are kind of sexy looking IMO. I getting her some regular HK stuff and a crown.
Not sure about my son. He has a dress up party this weekend so maybe he'll reuse that costume. I know he wants to be Elsa but I'm not sure I'm down with that.
Why not? I dressed up as Peter Pan and Pee Wee Herman as a kid.
I feel like gender bending for a girl is far more acceptable than for a boy. I also don't think a 3 year old fully understands what sort judgement this might bring. At 10 I'd be fine letting him pick.
He is going to be a dragon. He picked the costume out at the consignment store and had been carrying it around the house. Hopefully by Halliween he will wear it!
Moty here. I'm not going to be with J for Halloween. He's going to be at my parents for the weekend. He is going to be a pumpkin. Ill be dressing up where I am as a hippie.

We are going on a Halloween costume parade at an amusement park for my nephew's birthday in Oct and I think we're going to do a family theme. Just not sure which yet--if DH has his way it will be Superhero themed
DS will be an elephant, provided the costumer my mother picked up at a consignment sale last weekend fits.
Neither DH nor myself will dress up - costume will be worn for the daycare parade mid afternoon and then again for a brief stint of neighborhood ToT'ing (DS's first year).
He has a great TCP halloween tee to wear for the day.

DS1 wants to be a monster, and his monster costume from last year still fits but part of me hates to do a repeat.
However, I am due on October 30 so really I should just go with what's easy. Part of me wants DS to be a dinosaur and if the baby is born he could be a just hatched dino in an egg. I am way over thinking this.
Not sure yet if DH & I will dress up or not, if we do we'll try to do something that matches an engine driver. We've also talked about making M some sort of prop, like this:
AHHHH!! I already have this stuff! And ds LOVES trains. Costume DONE! (I had been thinking firefighter, but ds doesn't seem thrilled about the firefighter raincoat I found for him.)

G will be a tiny t-Rex. Costco had 0-6 months costumes for cheap and it's adorable. All we'll be doing is walking around neighborhood so the neighbors can see him. And going to the zoo with my parents earlier in the month where they have a cute little halloween event.

A black cat, I have the Carters cat costume from last year that I bought on super clearance when I was still pregnant. I will attempt a picture of her in the costume with our 2 cats if I can get them to corporate.
I haven't given it much thought yet to be honest. We're still adjust to the start of the school year here! Plus it still feels like summer weather wise which makes it hard to get into a fall mood.
But I'm thinking either a lady bug or a bumble bee for Kate. I know Ben wants the ninja costume from the Catching Fireflies catalogue. Ryan doesn't seem too interested yet. He can't be nailed down on a decision until like the week before
