Halloween
This year was another fun one. We had three carved pumpkins. Each kid designed their own with Brian's help to carve their 2d images into 3d jack-o-lanterns.
Then Brian and I made the third one.
I of course was on seed and goo duty. Always fun. I really can't believe anyone else doesn't want to do this job.
Brian's mom came down to spend the weekend with us. We tried to go to the zoo after school right before trick or treating but they were closed by 3:30pm. So, for the first time, we only took photos outside the gate and not inside like every year since Hadley was born. Still, we were there. It counts for something.
We then went to McDonald's for dinner, followed by trick or treating fun.
We were out for about an hour and a half and the kids got so much candy!
We met up and went door to door with Matthew and Ellie on Buggy Lane.
Hadley bumped into two girls from her class at school.
I dressed up like Anne from Anne of Green Gables, however when I took the hair/hat off, I looked more like Marilla Cuthbert.
Hadley was Lippy Lips. A shopkins character. Easton was Yoda. Both were super cute.
This year we went to Ed and Tina's for the first time to trick or treat. They are the house just left of the castle on Salem. We were their first ever trick or treaters in 8 years of them living there.
I fully expect and welcome an unexpected visit from them at some point. :) Their kids and our kids go to the same school so we see them often enough. Such nice people.
The last stops were at the two houses on our street.
Then after counting candies and getting data ready for Hadley's data management of candy at school the next day, we actually had our door bell ring. Andrew (from our street) who was out earlier when we stopped by.
So nice.
Another successful Halloween.
