1. Don't bother planning the 2 kids' costumes too early. They will not wear it.
<-- I have been thinking about and planning the costumes as early as August this year. I had them made last September and they were delivered early last week.
I've chronicled how insanely indecisive the two kids have been regarding what they would wear for Halloween. I listened to them and said yes -- hoping that they would eventually settle to liking the costumes I had made for them.
Now, they don't want to wear the costumes because they want to wear a different one. Seth wants to be Captain Bubble from an episode of Backyardigans -- and Anya wants to be whatever Seth wants to be.
Next year, I will just wait until the last minute and let them grab a costume off the racks in SM. I think it will be cheaper and less taxing for me.
And nothing so elaborate.
(We have a plan B: They still have their Batman/Batgirl costumes and their Pablo/Uniqua costumes.)
2. It is a good thing not to give away candy.
<-- This year, I got small face towels which cost 10 pesos each. I like the idea because the kids can use the face towels well after Halloween is over. (Johann thinks we will be known as the "boring" house where the kids didn't get candy.)
