(Oscar's word for ladybugs was "ding ding" for a few months last winter. They remain a favourite critter in our household.)
Importantly, Oscar's ladybug costume doesn't smell like pee anymore.
On Hallowe'en night itself it was so cold, windy, and rainy that we had to improvise a more appropriate costume. We put hats, rain boots, and life jackets on the kids and I whipped up a couple of fishing rods, then we launched the canoe and the kids fished for candies at the neighbours' houses.
