Houserspawn(tm) Classic - October 2000

I have a strong preference for classic Halloween costumes. I'll take a vampire, ghost, zombie, or mummy over a Power Ranger, Dora the Explorer, Buzz Lightyear, or a Disney Princess any day.

(Sad but true: out of the 70 or 80 kids that came to our door on Halloween last year, close to 50% of the girls were dressed as Disney Princesses.)

I don't have much say in what costumes the kids choose for Halloween these days, and I'm somewhat nostalgic for the days when they were young enough that I could make the decision for them.

This Vampire Zach costume (from his first Halloween, when he was just 10 mos old) is probably my favorite of any that the kids have worn over the years.
