Bring it on. It is a "make costumes" year. But most of the kids are old enough to help make most of their costumes. Clare and Wyatt made their costumes all by themselves!
Wyatt and Lorien were a fork in the road and a copy cat for a church dance early in the month. Wyatt decided to stick with a fork in the road. Which just meant he didn't have those shorts and shirt washed for two weeks. Sweet...
Pumpkins got carved into Jack-o-lanterns.
Lorien made an awesome Trump-o-lantern that I was happy to watch rot out on our front steps.
Adell's costume was the most involved...Wonder Woman!
Lorien was Coraline for Halloween proper. She ended up getting sick and coming home early from school. She dyed her hair...with temporary hair dye (I am back dating these posts. I am typing this on December 10th and her hair is still pinkish-purple).
Colter wanted to be the same ninja he was last year...so that was a major win for me!
I watched two kids in the school parade.
And the kids got mountains of candy on Halloween night. WINNING!
Last year on Halloween we had put an offer in on this house that had been accepted and we were in escrow. I remember walking close to the house and saying, "Should we go up the hill and make sure our house isn't being egged?" We did not walk up the hill that year. This year Will and the kids did the hill a few times. I stayed home and waited for trick or treaters. We didn't get that many kids up on the hill. I think they all do what we did last year...get all the houses on the bottom of the hill and call it good. There is an awesome house right next to the middle school that goes all out with scary Halloween decorations. That house is a big draw in the neighborhood and it is at the bottom of the hill. Not many people want to walk all the way up to our house with its lame decorations after the all out house. I'm ok with that!
