Halloween may mostly be about the kids, but that doesn’t mean parents have to give up on all the frightful fun.

Consider dressing the entire family up in the same theme.

It’s a great way to be playful with the whole gang, and coordinating ensembles can help you keep an eye on the little ones.

Costume Idea No. 1: Nintendo Neat

If a costume contest is in your future, why not emulate the Mario Cart crew?
