For our Halloween costumes this year, Stacy decided to do characters from the Disney movie Monsters, Inc. James was Mike Wazowski, I was Sulley, and Stacy was the little girl, Boo.

We got all dressed up for a Halloween party for special needs families at Gigi’s Playhouse on October 27th. It was a very nice party that included food, games, and pumpkin decorating for the kids.

 

Stacy, James, and Jeff are indoors in a bright, colorful space that looks like a classroom or activity room. At the center, James sits in a wheelchair decorated with white panels and pink and yellow paper flowers, dressed as Mike Wazowski in a green costume with a single large eye on the chest. On the left, Stacy is dressed as Boo, wearing a pink outfit with purple leggings and shoes and holding a small stuffed animal. On the right, Jeff is dressed as Sulley, wearing a blue costume with purple spots and a matching blue wig. The background includes colorful chairs, toys, and decorations, giving the scene a playful Monsters, Inc.–themed feel.

Toys, chairs, and colorful decorations fill the background, giving the scene a cheerful, playful feel.

 

In a bright indoor space that looks like a community or therapy room, Stacy, wearing a bright pink shirt helps James in a supportive wheelchair hold a small orange pumpkin. James' chair includes padded supports and attached medical equipment. In the background, other adults and children — some standing, some in wheelchairs — take part in the activity. The room feels lively and inclusive, with a focus on shared play and support.

James sits in his wheelchair wrapped head‑to‑toe in white toilet paper like a playful mummy costume. He wears dark sunglasses and has his mouth open in an expressive, dramatic pose. The wheelchair is positioned on a gray floor near a mirror and a wooden structure, giving the scene the feel of a therapy or activity room. The moment reads as lighthearted and fun, capturing a silly costume activity.

A pumpkin is decorated to look like a cheerful spider. A drawn face shows a red smile, a nose, and two large googly eyes. Eight pipe‑cleaner legs — alternating neon yellow and bright blue — stick out from the sides. The pumpkin sits on a concrete surface near a metal chair with a cushion, giving the scene a simple, crafty Halloween feel.

Stacy has been working out at a local fitness center that is for women only. She had a class scheduled on Halloween and decided not to dress up in her Boo Halloween costume for the workout. Instead, she went in her normal clothes.

 

Stacy stands in a gym wearing a Wonder Woman–themed outfit: a red top with the yellow logo, blue shorts with white stars, tall blue socks with red trim, and a yellow headband with a red star. A red cape drapes behind her, held up by someone just out of frame on the left. The gym has bright green walls with bold black lettering in the background, along with medicine balls on the floor and a wooden plyo box nearby. The moment feels playful and energetic, like a themed workout or costume event.

She did get back into her Boo costume for a Halloween party at James’ school, though. I was unable to make it, but James’ one-on-one nurse took my place as Sulley. I think she did it better. What do you think?

 

James sits in a chair wearing a green outfit, holding a Halloween art project made on black paper. The artwork features bright painted dots and lines in orange, yellow, white, and red, with several cut‑out bat shapes attached across the page. The moment feels like a cheerful, hands‑on craft activity, with James showing his finished Halloween piece.

Stacy, James, and his nurse are in a classroom dressed in Monsters, Inc. costumes. On the left, Stacy is dressed as Boo and is wearing a pink outfit and is holding a stuffed bear. James is in the middle in his wheelchair dressed as Mike Wazowski. On the right, his nurse is dressed as Sulley and is wearing a blue onesie with purple spots and small horns. Behind them, wooden cabinets are decorated with Halloween drawings, pumpkins, and a small scarecrow, giving the room a festive, inclusive classroom feel.

James sits in his wheelchair and is wrapped in long layers of white toilet paper like a playful mummy costume. Two children stand nearby, helping wrap the paper around them. Behind them are classroom shelves, bins, and desks, giving the scene a lively, festive feel, as if the group is taking part in a Halloween game or costume activity.
