Morgan decided early that she wanted to be a pirate for Halloween this year. When I went to her school party I noticed that all the girls in her class were princesses except for a butterfly and a Wonder Woman. But she wanted to be a tough pirate. As they marched through the school, in their Halloween parade, Morgan said “Arrgh!” to everyone she passed.
The orange bag is full of gold coins. Morgan thought she needed to "throw" them at the kids when they marched in the parade. I explained that it was her pirate treasure and she had to keep it safe. Then she wouldn't let anyone touch it or see the coins. 
I dressed Zane up as a cowboy this year. Was it a cop out? Yes. But he looks so adorable in his hat! He loved it too. The only issue we had was trying to convince him that he was not going to be riding a real horse like Dad. On the way home from the Trunk-or Treat he had a small melt-down because we were not going to the feedlot so he could be a cowboy like Dad.
Zane was thrilled to have MANY suckers in his sack of candy but his favorite treat was the sticky, purple spider. Scott threw the spider up and it stuck to the ceiling. Then slowly its legs let go, one by one, until it suddenly dropped to the floor. Zane and Morgan thought it was the funniest thing they ever saw. It kept them entertained for almost an hour.

Joe's cousins taught their nephews to throw sticky bait things at the ceiling and watch them peel off. Be warned: it left permanent grease spots on their grandma's ceiling!
