Having the time change later makes a difference because it isn't dark for the very little ones. Hazel had some kind of shirt under her costume, and probably the boys did, too.

Obviously you had as much fun as they did, even though nothing really can exceed the excitement of little ones getting to dress up in costumes and playact and come home with candy to top it off. <br /><br />I think our little granddaughters and their parents were different members of the Star Wars ensemble. And the 3 year old also wore a witch's costume to school that her mother wore when she was her age. The two pictures of them side by side showed that they were practically twins. I'm afraid I never saved my own kids' costumes.

We had rain on Halloween night and so no trick-or-treaters (not that we ever get very many). The temperatures on Halloween can vary so much here. Sometimes very cold and sometimes quite warm. I remember one year that my daughter was so upset when I made her wear a coat over her costume. She was Cleopatra and she had lots of sparkles, etc. However, a cold front had blown in and it was windy and very chilly. I told her that it was either that or we couldn't trick-or-treat. She wore the coat.
