I actually tried to post these pictures on the day after Halloween, but they bleeped off into cyberspace somewhere and I was so frustrated that I shut the lid on my computer and walked away (I thought that would be better than putting my foot through it!)
We went up to Miami for Halloween and Rick and I went to Jimmy's school for his party and parade. His class had just finished reading "Wizard of Oz", and the kids got extra credit if they dressed up as a character from the book.
Jimmy went as the Scarecrow...
That night, he changed into his Clone Trooper costume (he quickly corrected me when I thought it was a Storm Trooper costume)...
Jamie dressed up too....
I forgot to take a costume up there with me. Don't know where my brain is sometimes!
Jimmy collected alot of candy while trick-r-treating, but he followed our tradition of eating whatever he wanted that night and leaving the rest in a bag on the kitchen table for "Black Tooth", the cavity fairy (she's the tooth fairy's evil sister). Black Tooth took his bag of candy while he slept and left him a toy. This tradition is strictly voluntary. The kids have their choice of whether to keep their candy or leave it for Black Tooth. They usually choose to trade for the toy!
