Are you dressing up for Halloween this year and if so, as what? Also, what candy do you handout at your house?

Sarah Langan I can't decide! My younger daughter is going as Batman, my older one as a cat. I'm thinking I'll stay on theme and go as Dark Phoenix from the X-Men, or Batgirl (who doesn't love Barbara Gordon?). Think the least sexy-tight outfit incarnations of these characters. I used to go every year as a witch, so I'm trying to shake things up. Today, my younger daughter is home sick so we're heading to the local ballet supply store to get leotards.

We'll go to a local parade and then a party in the neighborhood. We'll hand out mini Twix, Snickers, Reeces, and Kit-Kats. I'm personally partial to straight-up dark chocolate Specials Bars, but kids never like 'em. I've never understood circus peanuts. They are horrible!
