--Tyce is "Super Scout," which he came up with on his own. Love the orange hair. He looks ready to take on the world, don't you think?
--Mary Rachel is the Headless Horseman, which she thought up herself. The head is a carveable pumpkin (not a real one!). She got a lot of compliments and two people even took her picture.
--The twins are puppy dogs, a reprise of last year. Cameron told Bryce last night that he wanted to be a skeleton! Maybe next year . . .
We went to Trunk or Treat at the church first and ate barbeque before passing out candy. The kids had a good time going around. Then we came back home and Bryce took the kids trick or treating in our neighborhood. After only one house he dropped the little boys back home. (Apparently the boys slipped into the house and began looking around, asking what the family were eating for dinner, etc.) They were good sports about being brought home, since they got to eat their beloved CANDY for a while.
This year the Great Pumpkin came to our house to gather all the extra candy from the kids. I told Mary that she could choose 10 candies to eat tonight and 20 others to keep and eat another time. She would donate the rest to the Great Pumpkin and get $5 in return. That deal was right up her alley. In fact, she decided to only choose 10 candies total and get $7 instead. (Of course, part of me thinks: Hey, is she going to use that money to buy candy? Maybe she's outsmarting me.) Tyce, surprisingly, doesn't want in on the deal. He's not big into candy but he's big into combing through his huge stash of goods. I think he's like King Midas with his gold. He was sad that out of all that loot he didn't get any Jolly Ranchers.

what awesome costumes! i'm so impressed at tyce and mary's. i'm glad someone is acutally maintaining the creativity part of costumes; all the pre-fab one's are so trite.
the boys looked adorable. how fitting that they were puppies. their trick or treating story cracked me up!
Wow! That's some serious loot! Tyce, when and how are you going to eat all of that? That's a big job! Wish I lived closer to help you out. Cute costume ideas, too!
The costumes were indeed awesome! I'm impressed with their ingenuity. The little boys just make me laugh. Wonder when they'll develop a social conscience?
The great pumpkin = a great idea.
Props to all!
