Heh! I was going to tell you to check last year's Natter, Jen, and then thought you'd think I was craxy.

Best costumes: emperor penguin (with plastic egg taped to shoe), two fairies in homemade costumes, and the girls were really beautiful, pale skinner and ringlets, so they looked like fairies.
The warriors are back! Now to check out the loot.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My poor dear nephew was dressed as a lamb.
But this is also the first year he was aware of the "going to get candy" aspect of Halloween, so I doubt he cared much about the lame costume.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm afraid candy (plus going-away cake, not to be confused with yesterday's birthday cake) contributed to my immense late-day crankiness with my work and my boss and myself. I will be trying to resist the leftover candy tomorrow.

Aw, just had a cute little princess whose skirt was a bit too long, so she sort of had to hike it up going back down the stairs. Too cute.
When my newphew was four, he had a positively adorable little wizard costume. The doorbell rang, and the first trick-or-treater arrived, dressed as a scary witch. Nephew promptly found a big chair behind which to hide and could not be convinced to go out the door into that big, bad night. Nuh and uh.

Your nephew and I are kindred spirits, Jen. I went out the Halloween I was two, ran into my friend's big brother (who was 11) dressed up as an Indian brave, ran back to the house, and told my mother, "You close that door. You look that door. You don't answer that door."
She had to get a neighborhood teen to come hang with me in the kitchen, so she could answer the door and hand out candy.

Har. Poor bitty Cindy.
Oh, Lee - I meant to post earlier that I loved the kitty bling skirt! So awesome.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
One year my mom and aunt decided to dress up my cousin, my brother and my sister up as different Care Bears. Though they didn't mind at the time, it's not a year my brother or cousin care to see pictures of.
I can't really remember what I went as most years. I know I was one point or another RotJ Luke Skywalker, a Ghost Buster, Optimus Prime, a Ninja and the Grim Reaper, but that still leaves 6 years or so unaccounted for.
