The best costume so far...

Kid just came to my door dressed as a Dalek - very elaborate and instantly recognizable getup, made of cardboard but nicely done. He (or she?) and his (her?) friends seemed pleased that I recognized the costume but there was no treat bag (couldn't carry one with no arms showing). So you stuff the candy down the Dalek's nozzle or zapper or whatever it is. The other kids had to help the Dalek up and down the steps and point him/her in the right direction. I love it when they really put some effort into their costumes.

And my house seems larger on the inside than the outside. But that's the best I can do.
