Here it is

Thanks to a kind benefactor, I was able to get a digital picture of the costume!

addendum: The white stripes across the front of the jacket are red reflective tape, reflecting the flash.
No, there is no little boy in the picture. This is mostly because, per my husband’s request, pictures of the Maryland Mosses do not go on the internet. But the little boy is still refusing to wear the costume.
On Halloween night we bribed him with a piece of candy, stuffed him into the costume, and took a few pictures for the grandmas. Then, before he had time to protest, I whisked him out the door so he could show his costume to the neighbors. We kept going and trick-or-treated at a few houses. Hambet liked carrying the flashlight and checking out the jack o’lanterns. The candy seemed to please him, too (and he said “thank you” like a little gentleman.) But when we got home, he had the coat peeled off before I’d closed the door behind us.
Halloween was successful in other ways, too. Over the last two years, we had exactly two trick-or-treaters, but last night we had almost twenty little ninjas, singers, angels, and Piglets at the door! I finally got to meet our new neighbors across the street. It was nice to see people coming out around the neighborhood.

  1. This is our first year here. Matt did all the door-opening (no one came until after work hours.) There were four rings, we missed the first, but he gave candy to ten kids. Oh. Well, not candy, bummermomma stuff as smockmomma would say. The toothbrushes actually went over well.
