Remember when Halloween wasn't all about downing orange and black jello shots and showing as much skin as the weather would allow?

Parents, you know what we're talking about. Halloween, the kid version, where costumes are something discussed since June and Great Pumpkins and Headless Horsemen haven't left the DVD player in weeks. Halloween is scary, not sexy, and the season isn't complete without serious damage to the baby teeth. The trick is in the treats.

For some of us these are just the good old days, but for those of us that have kids, this is the now, and it is the everything. Seriously, kids don't mess around with this stuff.

Here are just a sampling of the many costumes available this year. We went ahead and used Target as our source, not because they give us any discounts or anything, which they don't, but because it's a store that is easily accessible to just about everyone in the lower 48.

Happy Halloween, kids!
