Toe opted this year (at the very last minute) to dress as a dragon. Fortunately, we had a dragon cape from Uncle Cool in the costume box and some (very old) clown make up.
Our Halloween tradition forgoes the traditional door-to-door approach for a more in-depth, visit a few houses and stop-and-visit approach. This works well for us because Toe doesn't like chocolate, he doesn't need much candy in his life, and it gives us a chance to visit with friends. We have a few routine stops and occasionally we will visit others in the process. Last year, we visited a few friends in north county before heading south to Dama and other friends in south county. This year, we started in south county and made it to a total of four houses (including Dama's, where we prepared his costume).
We spent so much time playing at house number 3 that when we arrived at our last stop for dinner and drinks, our host said, "Well.... are you... a ghoul?" Toe said, "No, I'm a dragon. Can I come in and wash my face?" He walked right in, washed off all of his makeup (spraying water everywhere in the process) and continued to play for our two hour visit. My kind of Halloween.
