I was sort of suprised, actually, because the weather was so gorgeous, that there weren't more revealing costumes. Sure, sleeves were rolled up, but for whatever reason, Halloween costumes were far less risque than in previous years. It's actually quite appealing. I yearn for similar weather next Halloween...

Good for Meredith and Maggie. And good for their parents. Reading that article gave me some hope. And I have to say, I didn't see any inappropriate costumes (boys or girls) whilst handing out candy this year. Instead I was greeted by animals, superheroes, ballerinas, and princesses. And most of them were accompanied by both parents, making it a family activity instead of kids going out on their own and raising hell. It was nice for a change. Hallelujah!
