Jill and Derek are serving a mission (of sorts) somewhere in Latin America -- and now you can, too! All you need is a long, brown wig ($14.99, amazon.com) and modest yet lightweight clothing (maybe a T-shirt with cargo pants). Men wear similar attire with some junior scruff on the face. One of you carry a baby in a carrier (if you don't have one, get a doll) plus a bucket to collect donations and a Bible. OH WHAT? Half of you are Duggar haters and half of you are defenders, I might as well put this idea out there.

Oh deer! The hunter part of this costume is easy: camo or flannel with jeans and toy rifle (make sure it's VERY OBVIOUSLY a toy). And for the hunted, maybe this deer costume ($58.99, halloweencostumes.com). Usually the woman plays the deer, but why not mix it up this year?
