Hallowe'en 2008



Well, due to our wonderful economy this year, I told the munchkins that their costumes had to come from things around the house. Until about 2pm, the day of Trick-or-Treating, I didn't know for sure what each would be.

The Saint just wore a Hallowe'en bib.
The Princess was a Ballerina. She wore her dress-up tu-tu. I put a little of my sparkling make-up on her eyes, blush on her cheeks & lipstick on her lips.
The Archangel was Clone Trooper, using The Prophet's costume from the last two years.
The Prophet went for a play on words - a "Smartie-Pants, Quarterback. " I taped a bunch of Smarties on his pants & put some quarter stickers all over his back.
Casinodad even joined in on the fun - he went as a Bandito. (His Fantasy Football team this year is Los Banditos.)
I stayed home to hand out candy & watch The Saint while they went around the neighborhood. I never know for sure how many trick-or-treaters we'll have. The first few years wehad quite a few & many of the neighbors were handing out candy. Last year was pretty sparce. This was a good year. We had just enough to give out.
Hope you had a great one!

Great job with the costumes! I don't know what we'll do next year. Hopefully we'll be a little more creative. And hopefully we'll have a little more moolah! I think Pokemon King is about done with the alien costume. It's been what....3 years!!!
