Good job. I find we are still in the anti-costume phase - Ian SAYS he wants to dress up (pirate, clown, ghost, dinosaur) but was completely whacked out by the costume I made him, and trick-or-treat-ed in his pjs.
Kevin doesn't like dressing up, either. And he had traumatic experiences with dressed up people when he was younger (let me tell you some day of the fully-decked-out Storm Trooper at one kid's birthday party that sent Kevin into a mad frenzy, screaming as he ran out of the banquet hall) so it's only been the past couple of years he's even considered wearing a costume. And then it's only because I tell him everyone else is doing it and he won't get candy if he doesn't wear a costume (which is such a healthy parenting technique, don't you think?)
