This year, HP is going as Princess Leia, so that is a new white flannel night gown. Carbon is going as Darth Vader, so we made him a black sweat suit and cape. The cape won't be reusable as PJ's but a black cape will be so many things in the dress up box!<BR/><BR/>And we are also doing Reverse Trick-or-treat, handing out Fair Trade chocolate with explanation cards to our neighbors when we go out with the kids.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884797351411470248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885008245934440799.post-63853976316952681132008-10-14T06:38:00.000-04:002008-10-14T06:38:00.000-04:00I catch your blog now and then via Patience and An...I catch your blog now and then via Patience and Angela. I had to comment here as this is how I feel about Halloween. This year I declared that costumes had to come from home or the thrift shop. Last week our thrift shop had a Halloween bash where they pulled out all the costumes and craziness that had come in over the year. I had fun figuring out Halloween costumes for the first time ever and the girls admitted that they did too!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718731023662212448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885008245934440799.post-47308728134577521252008-10-11T17:53:00.000-04:002008-10-11T17:53:00.000-04:00I love your suggestions!

There are now collection sites all over town for cans for Habitat. Spread a little awareness while collecting a can or two at each stop ... I wonder if the "almost too old to trick-or-treaters" would go for that! <BR/><BR/>I wonder if I could free-cycle a couple of Mr Jimmy masks!!! :-DJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802695378617927299noreply@blogger.com
