Twelve so far. Tiny Batman is my fave so far -- he stopped on the way back to his folks to cheerfully reply "Happy Halloween!" to mine. Polite Batkid.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

I don't think we've gotten any Elsas yet, but we got a mummy whose wrappings were strategically loose so you could see his sweatshirt underneath, which had a ribcage printed on it. Clever. We also got a teeny tiny Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, who seemed unclear on the concept of trick-or-treat but had a deathgrip on his candy bucket nonetheless.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Trick or treating here was last night, and I wasn't home, so I don't get to see the costumed kids. I'm looking at all my friends photos on facebook, though. I love the ones where the costume was obviously the kid's idea -- my friend's three-year-old is "Super Girl Kitty," which seems to be a purchased Super Girl costume, red leggings, whiskers drawn on her face, and cat ears drawn on her forehead. (I have a feeling that the "Kitty" part of this costume was a last-minute addition.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
No trick or treaters here yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
All the Elsas I saw had winter coats on over their costumes. But the Olafs looked nice and warm!
A couple of people mistook me for Elsa. One person recognized the Mother of Dragons, Stormborn, Queen of the Andals and the First Men. My dragon kept falling off, though. [link]
Nobody recognized Dylan as Asterix, but he looked AWESOME - the helmet and belt came out really great, I thought. [link]
I didn't get a good picture of Aeryn because she had DH carrying her all night.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
In addition to LSD being swamped [link] the haunted house attraction on Navy Pier is sinking [link] . Setup for Nick Wallenda's highwire over the river continued though.

Seems to have topped out at a whopping 21. I have several pieces left, but not that much, actually. I'll leave the light on until 8:30p, but I kind of hope they're done - I want SOME leftovers. That's fair.

I think we got 30-ish. We went through the entire bag of snickers (which was about 18 pieces), and maybe half the bag of M&Ms. (The Milky Ways were on the bottom of the bowl, because they're my favorite, so I wanted them to go last. Yes, I am that selfish.)

Don't know how I double-posted that, but Halloween candy, while important, isn't important enough for 2 duplicate posts.

I just got 6 more. I have one Twix left now. Lights out!
