I was brave this year and made their costumes. On one hand it was very beneficial that they could bundle up under their costumes (see photo below about recent weather in CO) The downside was that they could not maneuver very well in the bulky costumes. Peyton's was okay but Mason could not bend over or put his hands together. If the person let them pick their own candy he couldn't put it in his bucket or if he dropped one he was out of luck. It reminded me of that movie A Christmas Story.."I can't put my arms down!" or "Randy lay there like a slug, it was his only defense." The helmet also lasted about five minutes but we got a lot of comments and I think they turned out pretty well. Next year I think I will consider something less bulky.
