This was one of our favorite options for a costume for Naomi this year. Although common sense took over, it's OHIO! This would be perfect for trick or treating in maybe Florida but not here. She'd have to wear a coat over the whole thing and some sort of thick tights at least! She'd be better off as an Eskimo!
She'll be on the Ketogenic diet this Halloween, but that's no big deal. I usually just push her along in the stroller while her brother runs door to door. People usually give him extra candy for his sister too. A local orthodontist will buy the kids candy for $1/pound up to 5 pounds, plus make an equal donation to the United Way and he ships all the candy he collects over seas to U.S. soldiers. So we may even make a little money with the uneaten candy.
Isaiah's favorite line is "Happy Halloween-er". It never gets old.... to him! Thankfully he's still into Star Wars, it's been about 4 years now, and he wants to recycle last years costume and be Anakin Skywalker again. In these tough economic times, that's a great thing!
My mom always used to make my costumes, it's just so much easier to go buy what they want! Plus I HATE to sew!
I cannot forget to mention that my mom gives out the regular size candy bars! She's got to be one of the most popular houses in her neighborhood! I was at her house last week and see she's got Hershey bars and Reese's cups and she's going to try to get some teddy grahams for the really little ones! Last year Isaiah made her a Spongebob "mask" out of a paper grocery bag and she sat there and wore that bag over her head all night. He's planning on making her something else this year, but I'm not sure what. He thinks Grammy really loves Pirates of the Carribean, when actually Grammy just really loves Johnny Depp!

What day and time is trick or treat at Grammy's? I want the regular size candy bars not the bit size.
