Since Halloween is coming up, can anyone give me some ideas for a costume for Duke? We need something simple and easy and you have to be able to roll around in it! B) Thanks!!!
God will never give me anything that I cannot handle.....I just wish he didn't trust me so much!

We're in the same boat you are, no idea what to do for Halloween. We spent 3 hours in the costume store today getting the kids set and couldn't find something he liked(as bad as the kids). Good luck

Well, I don't have a classy costume idea for a male wheelchair user, but I thought for a female wheelchair user that a mermaid costume would be cool. You can be sexier than all the walking ladies ;) I doubt I am going to dress up, but if I get lured into going to a party, that's my plan.

We can't think of anything either...a train (using the wheels) a race car, a jack in the box is about all I can come up with...

For a male quad, how about a tuxedo? Then people will see him for what he really is -- a hot guy with some cool wheels.

I've always wanted to dress up as a crash test dummy.
Just a regular guy making his way through life.

My brother came up with the idea to make the chair look like a electric chair and me go as a sexy executioner.

Last year my sister was a race car driver. She bought the costume and then decorated her chair with reflectors, ribbons and painted a handicap sign for the back. I thought that was a good idea.

this year instead of re-using my news reporter desk..i was thinking of a game show contestant! like on jeopardy or....the price is right - the contestant at showcase showdown (i heart that show)...AND if you want to make it a couples thing...if u have an upright frd they can be the game show host..ie alex trebek or bob barker/drew carey..and if ur frds a wheeler..they can be another contestant!

I thought of that too the other day......however, I also like the idea of a crash test dummy :)

i thought about the electric chair also, but instead am going as a shopping cart, my friends are fitting the shopping cart frame around my chair, then put some party essentials on my lap & off i go.

bonus points if i actually go shopping in my cart on the way to a party.

i haven't snagged any pics yet though

Hi, we had a Circus of Horrors themed Halloween party. I went as a careless Lion tamer.

A little late but... Steve went as a clown and had a great time Trick or Treating with the kids. His injury was 6 years ago and this is the first Halloween he was able to spent with his daughter. I think the shoes made the costume. As you see I was the nun whom likes to clown around!

I did a Ghoulie thing this year. My wife has made for me a ritual robe and cloak and I used the cloak, an African hat and a rubber mask. It worked! Had loads of fun scaring the kiddlings as they came begging.
