Tonight began the official season of trick or treating. It's funny how we allow strangers to give our children candy in the month of October, but if they were offered candy from strangers during any other month of the year, we'd be calling 9-1-1.
We went to Westroads Mall and participated in their "safe" trick or treating around the mall. It was fun, I guess, if you call 5000 kids all in costume fun. It was a good test drive of the costumes (kind of, Brennan just put on his cape, he wasn't worried about what went underneath.) As you can see, Jackson's "monster eyes" need some help staying upright and he really looks like a clown-alien-banana-cat-monster, but oh, well...he likes it and is happy, except when he accidentally eats a bite of the fur instead of his dinner. Brennan's vampire cape was itching his neck and he quickly got tired of the teeth. (Don't worry, he has glow in the dark teeth for the "important" night of free candy from strangers, the purple ones were from a party.)
I joked that we now did not need to buy candy for Trunk-or-Treat at church (Round Two of TorT), but Bart shot down my idea. We'll see...

3 Words to brighten my day:
What is it with husbands and re-gifting Halloween candy? I always suggest passing out our Boo at the Zoo or Church Trunk or Treating candy to others and David always says no! It's not like we can eat all that candy, so I say that others should benefit from it!
I thought the candy idea was a good idea, and I might even use it and not tell Joel. We have a ton from trunk or treat that might be going to neighborhood kids ;) The monster looks great. I love your nickname for the costume.
i love the costume. i also like the reusing candy idea. the only problem i our hous is brooklyn is so shy she didn't get alot of candy, and what she did get trent has eaten!!
