my daughter is all grown now...26. But I did enjoy seeing the wonderful costumes of the children who came to my door. One homemade one was so special because grandma had made it and was the one taking her trick or treating. It was a lovely monarch butterfly! One tiny little boy had his whole face painted red and black, our school district's colors, with a spray painted red mohawk. I love when parents dressed up to coordinate with their children. We had a pirate family, with pirate girls and boys, mom and dad! Some older kids got heckled for TOTing but I winked at them as I filled their bags...and said "we all have kid in us somewhere". I have a very very old 100 lbs newfoundland girl dog that joined me handing out trick or treat candy. Everyone loved her. Tiny hands as well as adults hands couldnt wait to pet her. I am so glad. At 14 and having health problems, I am sadly sure this is her last trick or treat. I told them she was really a chihuaha and this was her costume..lol.
