this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Best costume we saw was a mother daughter team both dressed as Janelle Monae. (Daughter was like 8, so it was super cute.)

Oh! Remember Sigfried and Roy and their wee white tiger kid? (That was longer ago than I care to admit. I checked my photos -- though I don't have a photo of Sigfried and Roy, unfortunately -- and it was 2003. INSANE.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Oh and their was an adorable Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas whose makeup was really well done.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

We had several ninjas who announced they were ninjas. I told them they needed to work on their stealth.

There were tiny toddlers in furry monster rompers, and a couple of tween vampires who suitably awed by me. I gave them extra candy.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I had very few kids tonight, I guess the weather kept them in (although it had cleared by 5). Or maybe the fact that I didn't have a pumpkin and the porch light doesn't work. So now I have a bunch of leftover candy, bleah.

And now to bed, yay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think my favorite costume among people I know this year was shark + victims. The baby was the shark, and the parents had bloody bandages.

My best is a married couple, who went to an adult party as bacon and sexy bacon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My favorite family costume (from several years ago) was a Hershey Bar mom, jar of peanut butter dad, and toddler Reeses Cup.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Nice shirt, Burrell!

I had exactly zero trick or treaters. Then again, I was out during prime TorTing hours. Anyway, now I have a bag of candy in the freezer.

At some point today I should gas up the car and go grocery shopping. But it's chilly and rainy, and I have a huge cup of coffee and a warm cat on my lap. So that point will not be anytime soon.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

My informal count was somewhere between 30 and 40. A fair number were babes/toddlers-in-arms (or in stroller) with the parent actually collecting the treats. Often, the parents were in costume, too.

I gently chided one child dressed as Superman who was carrying a Spider-Man treat bucket, but told him I was giving him candy anyway.
