Still a couple late ones coming by -- I'd guesstimate 25 kids in little bunches. Some surprisingly good makeup, and one really great homemade costume -- kid in a bathrobe with a "shower" over his head like a giant halo.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
No kids here. I kind of miss 'em.
That's why I refuse to call myself a Wiccan. I'm a hedge witch, dammit. I borrow from a lot of belief and ritual systems.
Yup. In fact, I doubt I'm even that formal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just feel like it isn't really big or sturdy enough. Also: no effort went into the trick/treat bag at all.
At least use an old pillowcase. I thought that was the default. Isn't it?

What's wrong with a brown paper lunch bag for trick or treat
I'm assuming that was the full extent of the costume.

Yeah, I guess I just don't see the bag as important enough to make an effort for. I mean, I'd rather a kid used something they already had than buying some cheap plastic pumpkin at Target the night before.
[eta: Oh, if that was the entire costume then that's a problem. ]

I might be wrong, but I have seen it happen.

Because books.
The trend here with the tweens and teens is apparently to wear your backpack backward, open, and slap on some kind of makeup or a mask. I'm unamused.
The little ones are, of course, adorable.

My rule is that if they don't have a costume, they have to tell me a Halloween joke or riddle AND I mock them for no costume. Because I am mean.
Photo of my Halloween outfit is over in FB/on Tumblr for those who want to see.
