Every year, I try to figure out a costume that lets me incorporate whistle playing into the theme. Then I sit on the porch whistling away and giving out candy–the kids always seem to love it.
This year, I’m doing pirate-themed, and have brushed up on all the sea chanties that I know. In support of the teal pumpkin project, I’m also giving away a bunch of pirate-themed loot. ‘Gold’ coins, plastic gemstones, and necklaces. The thing i like about this idea is that while the pirate booty was so much cheaper than the candy, I think kids will remember it a lot more than the candy.
