Halloween
This year Halloween was wet, very wet! However, the skies opened up between 6 pm and 7 pm and it was just drizzle. By 7 pm the rain started but was manageable with umbrellas. However, by 7:30 pm it was time to go home. The kids had full bags of candy and the rain was intense.
This year Hadley went as a beautiful blue butterfly with silk type wings, and a blue tutu. We made her antenna with pipe cleaners and a black headband. Her centre was just black sweatpants and a black sweater.
Easton was Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. A crocheted beard, a cloak that was a grey poncho from a previous camping trip, and a grey pointed hat that we had from our trip to Germany many years ago at Octoberfest. He found an amazing staff (stick) in the yard that completed the costume.
The kids had a great time trick-or-treating even with the wet, wet weather.
