Batman was so in love with his costume that he is actually still wearing it on November 1st. I dread the moment I have to rip it off of him. Then again, it is made from some sort of polyester resembling tissue paper, so it might just literally rip right off of him at some point!
ENOUGH POSING FOR PICTURES! IT'S TIME TO FIGHT CRIME AND COLLECT CANDY!!!
Costumes with winter coats over them are never quite as cool, but the kids dealt with it fine. Corey reports that they were very good at saying "trick or treat" and usually remembered to say thank you. Once Peter heard that he wasn't allowed to eat candy until he got back home, he decided it was time to return to the Bat Cave. He lasted a good half an hour in 42-degree drizzle, though.
Charlotte lasted nearly an hour! Here she is, posing bravely by a giant spider with red eyes. She wasn't such a fan of some of the spooky graveyard scenes, though.
After the kids returned, their loot haul revealed that other houses were giving out full-size candy bars and other treats that FAR eclipsed the single Dum-Dum suckers (don't judge -- I didn't want to buy candy that I would be tempted to devour!) we were doling out. Whoops. We started handing out a few suckers at a time and started running low. Charlotte donated the vast majority of her candy to the cause, since she really doesn't like a whole lot of it. Whose child is she, anyway? I held back all the full-size candy bars and we grabbed the rest of Peter's candy (he only likes suckers and M&Ms!) to give away as well. We ended the night with just a handful left. Perfect!
Happy Halloween from a little princess and her crime-fighting friend!

First the kids are sooo cute in the costume. I love the 'no big smile' comment. She is a crack up. Second, FULL sized candy bars? I'm coming to your neighborhood next!
