Happy Birthday, Daniel!
I have some October pics with kids in costume.
I hope everybody is okay with the Earthquake and all. I wonder if we'll get a quake here at some point. Well, it wouldn't do more than rattle windows this far out in KC.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

My chiropractor was dressed up as Little Bo Peep and his assistants were his sheep. He was a very hairy Bo Peep.

I forgot to squee here last night. My friend Dean was the guy bartender in Supernatural this week. Or last week for the USians.

You get extra parental points if your costume complements the kid's.
I live at the corner of trick and treat...seriously, I get 300 kids...and would get more if I stayed 'open' longer.
Every year a family of 4 comes by-all in complimentary costumes. They are the highlight of my candy distribution glee. One year, ghostbusters, the next, the parents were archaeologists and the kidlets were dinosaurs.
I also love the kid who comes by each year dressed as a political statement. I love that boy. Last year he was global warming, the previous year-a Republican page abuser.
This year, I'm setting aside the standbys...Munchkin Mayor or Nun...in favor of huge purple wings and other fairy accessories.

I wouldn't refuse to give them candy, but it'd be damn close.
Archaeologists do not dig up dinosaurs, people! Thanks.

300 kids? Wow. We did it one year and got about 12. Our neighborhood isn't very trick or treat friendly though. It's dark, has no sidewalks, and the houses are sparsely laid out.

This year I'm missing the trick or treaters because I have to be in class. :-(
So today I'm dressing up as a visual design student.

Eastern Market is directly across the street, where truck borne 'hay rides', a real estate office turned haunted house, balloon animals and other such frivolity ensues. So, concentrated foot traffic. Plus, we get actual buses of kids from the less advantaged neighborhoods.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had one trick-or-treater last year. I'm not turning on the porch light this year. My new neighborhood looks pretty well decorated, so next year will probably be more fun.
