I found the flightsuits on Amazon, and bought the patches, stickers, and old toy “neutron throwers” separately. So this year’s costumes are not exactly storebought and not quite home-made…more like home-assembled. The kids are delighted, anyway.
Sol is nominally Slimer but I didn’t make a costume for him. He’s too young to feel left out!
I'm a writer and mom living in Oakland. This is my personal blog; I write about parenting, cooking, local issues, books, and anything else that's rattling around inside my head.
I am the author of The Millennial Sword, an urban fantasy novel set in San Francisco, and two read-aloud picture books for kids, The Big Booger Bubble and Gail Murphy and the Piskies.

…I bet he slimed you anyway though, right? 😉
These costumes are the BEST THING EVER! Also, I love Robin’s face in the second picture – some serious Ghostbusting is about to happen!

Haha, yes! And thank you!
