| Boo Berry, Franken Berry and Count Chocula cereal box costumes. |
Halloween is over. And once again, my kids' costumes (although fun & clever) proved to be troublesome when it came to actually trick-or-treating. Walking, running and climbing up stairs were nearly impossible. And after about four houses, Bea decided she was done wearing her box. She just wanted to carry it.
Which turned out to be an awesome idea. All three of the kids took off their boxes and carried them to the front doors of every house. Then they set them on the ground, and hid behind them. After I rang the doorbell, they would jump out and yell "Boo" and "Trick-or-Treat." Everyone got a big kick out of it, and the kids had so much fun hiding and yelling "Boo!"
So for once, my error in costume judgement turned into a good thing. (I really, really, need to work on making costumes that you can actually see and move in.)
Sorry, kids.
