Halloween 2012

The weather on Halloween can be so unpredictable.  Some years it rains, some years it is cold and windy, some years it snows.  This year was perfect.  Literally the best Halloween weather we've had in years.  It was sunny and warm (think 70 ish) during the day and mild and clear in the evening.  We had a ton of trick or treaters and very little candy left over - thank goodness.

This year Tessa was a "Pink Vampire".  That really just means she wore vampire teeth and put together a hodge-podge or dress-up clothes together as a costume.  Whatever - it was easy.  She wanted sparkle makeup so we tried and it.  I may have sparkles in my bathroom for the next 10 years.

William couldn't decide what to be for Halloween this year.  He was trying to be funny and put an empty box over his head and said he'd just go as a box, which morphed into a Box Top.  It's probably my fault - I'm one of two Box Tops for Education Coordinators at the kids school this year and had Box Tops on the brain.  Anyway, he liked the idea because it was different and weird.  I thought it was just quirky - like William.
 Henry was a basketball player.  Actually, Henry wasn't even going to go trick-or-treating this year at all until about 10 minutes before he left.  His friend Jack texted him to see if Henry could go with him so he put on some basketball shorts and took off.  I think the lure of free candy and hanging out with a friend was just too much for him to handle.
Now it's November.  Time to gear up for the holidays. 

Hope your Halloween was great!
