Since our now-preschooler was born we’ve done family costumes (sometimes including the dogs). We’ve done Monsters Inc with us being Mike and Sully and her being Boo, the Flinstones with us being Fred and Wilma and her being Pebbles (the dogs being Dino), and the Fairly Odd Parents with us being Cosmo and Wanda and her being Timmy Turner. This year she wanted to be a dinosaur so she’s being a triceratops, so my husband’s being Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic park and I’m a generic dinosaur scientist in a lab coat.

We definitely trick or treat around our neighborhood, but it’s big and mostly older people without kids so we don’t hit too many houses. There’s about a dozen or so kids that will knock on our door to get candy. We usually do a trunk or treat or two and then also a small candy walk through at an amusement park
