Costumes for the boys definitely got easier this year. Although I did enjoy making some of theirs over the years, I was OK having a break. Both the boys were into the nondescript costumes this year. Scary masks and plastic implements of death and destruction were the order of the day. At least until game time. Then Caz decided he wanted to go commando. Or as a commando I should say. It was definitely too cold to go commando. Caz borrowed one of Yaya's jackets from the Marines, to go with his fatigue pants, hat and Air Soft rifle. Those Air Soft guns are a whole different post. Caz briefly toyed with going as Jason. He even researched the clothes to go with the mask. He was a bit disappointed when we didn't partially burn clothes in the chimenea. I had to check myself when I thought back about watching Friday the13th at his age. No way Caz is ready for that. Or maybe it's me not ready for him being ready for that. Either way, he's not watching it.
This was also Caz's first Halloween going around the neighborhood without adult supervision. He had a new buddy come over and the two of them went around door to door. Caz, the poor kid, started with a mild fever in the AM and we worried that he was going to be sick for the second Halloween in a row. But he rallied and responded to the Tylenol. Coco had their cousin come over. This year Demi got to do the honors, while I manned the door here at Chez Chin. What a happy coincident it was that the Pats were playing at 4 PM game. It's amazing how that works sometimes.
The rounds through the neighborhoods were successful. That included Demi and my cousin too. The moms got to stop at a Halloween party for the grown ups while the kids went around that neighborhood. The candy exchange and inspection afterward was quite the scene with 4 boys. The bartering was almost at the level of the NYSE. Another successful year.
