On that note: our friend Tyler (seen below in all his Billy Mays glory) said that when he was about seven, he wanted to go on a candy bender and decided to trick-or-treat in July. He had the first door slammed in his face at which he point he started to think maybe it really was just the one day that adults lose their minds and give out sugar to any random kid who shows up.
Our friends, the Jacobs, at our place before trick-or-treating.
Tyler really does bear a frightening resemblance to Billy Mays and
Marylynn does the emo teenager look pretty well. The little black
witch-shaped shadow in the back is their daughter Cricket,
T.'s buddy, and the unicorn-do Superman in front is Buster.
Ninja Sethie, Ninja Thomas, Superman Buster, and Witch Cricket.
The green arms are mine, desperately trying to keep Seth from
removing his Ninja mask and revealing his secret identity (that of
angry, over-heated two-year-old who hates stuff on his head).
The kids wait at a door for that most magical event: the
presentation of the candy! Note that S. is sans Ninja mask.
You just can't keep that kid dressed. It did make him SLIGHTLY
easier to see in the dark, especially since he refused to hold any
kind of light source. We should have just strung reflective tape
on his back, I suppose, but that would have, kind of, ruined
that whole "Ninja" aesthetic we were going for:
"Hey, what's that?"
"Don't know. Looks like a ninja."
"But he's wearing reflective tape."
"Guess he didn't want to get run over while crossing the street."
"Yeah, you can't be too careful these days---aaiiigggh!" (destroyed by Ninja star).

LOL! I liked the reflective tape idea. I don't think he really would have minded. :D Good job Mara!
