Damian knew today was halloween, but all he knew was that other kids might come around and ask for treats. Then at 5pm tonight the neighbours asked if Damian would like to come trick or treating with them. That gave me 20 minutes to come up with a costume. This was the best I could do. I made a quick hat out of cardboard and then got a pillow case and stuck stars on it and tied it around his neck with a bat (which was a peg) that we had made during the week. Mum had bought him the treats bag and I gave him the broom and he was set. It was a bit pathetic but it was all I could think of.
