What's wrong with a brown paper lunch bag for trick or treating?
The Alters had a theme this year.
'Lineage'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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?
Jessica! I love the pics. How cute.

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.
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.
I've been at a "motivational" conference all day, which is a thinly veiled shill for get rich quick schemes interspersed with legit speakers. Why, Colin Powell, why? I think I'm going to skip Bill Cosby and just go home.
