The Annual Halloween Parade

Every year, my children’s daycare hosts a Halloween party and parade. It’s tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to seeing the kids’ costumes. It amazes me what they come up with nowadays. Everything from Thomas the Tank Engine, to a chicken, to Darth Vader. Last year my son was Yoda but this year, the boy had no desire to be one with the Force. Instead, he wants to be a green Power Ranger. I blame my sister-in-law. It’s not a show I’m fond of, but clearly I must be missing something. So in the morning, he will don his superhero costume and go off to battle the evils of Circle Time. I’ll post pictures later on.

My daughter waffles between being a princess and being Barney. Since I never bought a Barney costume, she gets to wear a purple princess gown, courtesy of Grandma. I actually have a tiara from an old Halloween costume I had as a child, but she refuses to wear it. We’ll see how this goes. I do think she’ll love trick-or-treating, since candy is involved.

What are your kids wearing for their costumes? Or if you don’t have kids, do you ever dress up for Halloween?
