Well. This Halloween was AWESOME, but not as awesome as usual because we didn't go to Evelyn's neighborhood first like we usually do. And the people there get really crabby for some reason when you show up at nine o'clock at night. Don't ask me why, but they do, so even though we got a bus-load, we didn't get as much candy as we usually do. But trick-or-treating was a blast! Here's how it went:
- We put the finishing touches on our costumes
- We carved the jack-o-lanterns
- Our friends Amie, Evelyn, and Sadie showed up at two after Evelyn's school let out, and we put on costumes and set out to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood after pictures (courtesy of Rachel)
- At about five and staggering under our burdens of candy, we went back to the house for a homemade pizza dinner, again courtesy of Rachel
- Rachel left for her friend Angie's house to go trick-or-treating there at about six
- After dinner, we did the rest of our neighborhood, which lasted until about eight thirty
- Ben wanted to stay with Dad at the house, so we left him and the rest of us drove to Evelyn's house, where we finished our candy roundup in her unfourtunately crabby neighborhood
- We went back to Evelyn's house for candy trading at about nine and then headed home for the end of a successful and very fun day.
Just to refresh your memories.....I was a zombie, Emma, a peacock, Ben, a samurai, Evelyn, Luna Lovegood, Sadie, Princess Lollipop from Candyland, Rachel, Buffy the vampire slayer (lucky nobody was a vampire this year!), Mom, a medieval princess, and Amie, the Queen of Hearts. So I hope everyone else had a good one too, and happy Halloween!
