I took the kids trick or treating on Friday night. They wore costumes that 'went together' this year. They watch a show called Teen Titans, and Ben dressed up as Robin, Sarah as Raven. Most of you probably have no idea who the Teen Titans are, so I found an image....
And now...
Ben is always about the pose, no matter what character he is being. And "Raven" is a very mellow, glum character, so Sarah was doing her best at being 'glum'. Cracks me up.
It was night when we went trick or treating, and the neighborhood was packed with families out and about. It was so neat, homeowners sat out on their porches and handed out candy. Most had decorations and lights and even spooky music playing. It made such a great Halloween atmosphere.
Because it was dark, and like I said not many people are familiar with Teen Titans (and everyone knows Batman and Robin), people we passed would comment, "Oh, look, it's Batman and Robin", when they'd see Sarah and Ben. They saw 'Robin' and just assumed that the dark, caped, hooded character with him was Batman. Sarah was getting frustrated every time someone would say that ~ you'd hear a low grumble coming from her. At one house Benny even corrected the lady and told her that Sarah was Raven (trying to help out his big sister) and then he got reprimanded from Sarah as they walked away that he was being rude correcting the lady. LOL! About 45 minutes into it Sarah finally decided to take her mask and hood off so "no one would confuse her as Batman anymore".
And, it goes without saying, we now have enough candy to get us through to Easter.
