We've had Bert and Ernie puppets for 28 years now. They're getting some holes in their outfit from wear and tear in hundreds of puppet shows from metmike.
They always go trick or treating with us. Ernie on one hand chattering away and making jokes, while the other hand records with the video camera.
Then Bert gets his turn in front of the camera performing and saying silly things.
That has been one of the highlights for the grandkids on Halloween, who love watching the Halloween videos several times a year.
