Hollow Bean 2023: The Costumes

A handwritten list of the costumes from Halloween 2023

We had 17 Hal­loween­ers[1]Hal­lowee­nies? ring our bell last night, which is two more than last year. A pleas­ant sur­prise, espe­cial­ly con­sid­er­ing how cold it was.

The cos­tumes:

  • Iron Man
  • Pret­ty Princess
  • Uni­corn (these three were very young; the princess was most­ly being car­ried by Mom)
  • Mer­maid with a hand-knit Pikachu toque
  • Spark­ly Witch
  • Kid in Par­ka (he might have had a cos­tume under there; hard to say)
  • Kit­ty Cat
  • Plague Doc­tor in a fleece uni­corn onesie
  • Anoth­er Uni­corn (fleece one­sies might be the new parkas)
  • Witch
  • Skele­ton (x2)
  • Men in Black (x2) (I’m just glad they did­n’t neu­ral­ize us)
  • Shark
  • Zom­bie in a fleece bathrobe
  • Clown in a fleece bathrobe

At 9:15 we turned off the light, since there had­n’t been any­one at our door in over 45 minutes.

Seems we bought juu­u­ust the right amount of can­dy; there’s only a cou­ple bars left over for us. Phew.
