But chasing a child who is clearly terrified is beyond stupid. I would have put myself between her and the kiddo, stood my ground, looked her in the eye and in a dead calm voice tell her to cut it out. Period. When it comes to bullying my kids I become a mama bear and no one better mess with my cubs. Treats? Egad woman! Make something you'll enjoy making and that you have time to make (if you don't have time then buy something!). I know you want to impress the group but I think you're plenty impressive as you are. Costumes? A pirate is easy - ripped up/torn dark shorts or jeans and a ragged plain shirt. Bandana or maybe a pirate hat (they have some nice ones at Michaels out of craft foam) and face paint an eyepatch. Arrrgh! Some people are complete freaks about kids in their stores.

She knows you have it. You know you have it. It's not like you're going to try to steal it. Besides, E is too young to be a hooligan. Ideas - for treats you could get slice & bake sugar cookie dough (or make your own depending on the time limits) and decorate as spider webs, make cupcakes and decorate with frosting and some candy corns. Or pick up a Woman's Day or something similar at the grocery check out. They'll have lots of quick ideas for treats. Oooh Rice Krispie treats with M&Ms. Costumes - dress him like a girl, a scarecrow, a member of Gryffindor, a mummy (get some muslin, tea dye & cut into strips), a Charlie Brown ghost, an ancient Greek (toga but only if it's warm). I don't know that I'm the one to ask... I haven't figured out what to do for Peanut yet. Good grief – what’s the big deal if he wants to carry a bag around. She knows you have it.

Maybe you could just paint his face and dress him in black and let him go as a banshee (trying to work with the screaming theme...) I just buy a costume at Goodwill for $2 You could do the cracker spiders with green cream cheese guts this year...Sorry, I only have one good idea! Overalls and a hard hat Bob the Builder?
