And D-D decided to dress up in a different costume. She went out again last night as Tinkerbell. She was a cutie pie! MG looked very catlike, and E was his tough and tumbly self as Storm Trouper. They had a great time and came back with their buckets full. All of the candy they got at the TRUNK or Treat went with the candy we purchased for Oct 31. I put it all in a plastic tub and laughed at how it looked. I DID take a picture yesterday morning of THAT (which is not as cute as my kids-----arrrggg!) and I call it, "The Last Cake of October"
Anyway...all of this candy disappeared to fill the bags of the numerous children who visited our neighborhood. The tub lay empty (or nearly so) until I poured the new treats into it. It is now TOTALLY full----I think even more than what we started with! What this means is that we will be on a sugar high until April!!!
Since I do not have cute pictures of the kids, or funny stories of their Halloween adventures, you will have to---with me---live vicariously through my sister Keri (I should spell it vi-KERI-ously). Her two little ones (I will dub them with the letters X and A) went to several neighborhoods with a van load of friends. A was dressed up as Wall-E and X was a VOTING BOOTH!!!! Instead of carrying around a bucket, her costume had slots where people could drop the candy. One slot was for McCain, the other for Obama. Written on the outside of this voting booth was something like, "Remember to cast your vote...Ballot Stuffing allowed" Rest assured, both sides experienced some ballot stuffing! The votes were counted when they returned home with McCain leading just over 4 times Obama's side (M:abt 140 candies, O: abt 30). From what it sounds like, even strangers on the street would stop X and cast their vote. The costume was a hit. And X received more candy than normal.
This costume has made me giggle all day. I thought you might enjoy the chuckle, too.
What a fun idea!
