    string a line from the top of your head to the top of each family member, then back to the original person. Go as an eruv! Make sure everyone goes to the bathroom before setting up the costume.

    Oh, wait, that isn't as good an idea as I first thought.

    yeah do farmers for the boys and cowgirls for the girls.. if there are any
    and similar to ronrsr... i heard ppl to attached the whole fam to a string and hung clothes in between each child aka a cloths line ... but its a little abusive lol !!!!!

    Incorrigible; semi-retarded; eccentric; perhaps a woman; not Mod 80. Sometimes a bit over the top.

    Tie the kids up and gag them.
    Go as pirates and hostages.

    (Don't untie them until school starts again.)

    Mexican family theme is very easy to do... colorful ponchos & oversized colorful sombreros .. not too hard to do shalach manos with that theme either. :)

    sorry frim.

    I don't find the idea of a quiet peaceful house for one day very scary.

    ronrsr: "string a line from the top of your head to the top of each family member"...

    Frim: "...and similar to ronrsr I heard ppl to attached the whole fam to a string..."

    Come on guys thats just so unoriginal. The 1st person to try this was Haman and his ten sons!!! :ยค)

    MAMB!

    When we were kids, we dressed up as the shushan band.
    Each sibling had another instrument, and we all had a regal uniform

    Awwww

    we were thinking of doing UPS delivery people, but when I asked someone that works there where i can get costumes he said I can't and then "an investigator for UPS told me I can't do it b/c will look suspicious

    any quick ideas besides the ones which were mentioned above would be appreciated

    males can dress up in a 'gi'-- karate white pants & jacket, (or in black), w/ black cloth belt (or other color)-- w/ bandana around the head. add a pair of nunchucks, & after Purim, you can all sign up for martial arts/defense classes. :)
