Halloween is a big deal around here. Evan literally talks about Halloween year round. Drawing haunted houses and bone guys are his specialty.
Friday involved a couple Halloween parties at school. And, of course today was trick or treating. We had about 70 trick or treaters come to our house (even though it was lightly raining on and off). And, our kids didn’t do so bad themselves. Note the holiday tradition of sorting and trading. What a greedy holiday this is, really. Despite the literally hundreds of packages of candies on our floor, the kids weren’t volunteering any to us. They did not go for the “dads-always-get-all-the-peanut-butter-cups” line. But, they are all asleep now….perhaps a couple would not be missed.
Ashlyn’s kindergarten Halloween party that followed their parade.
Evan’s 2nd grade Harvest party. The elementary school doesn’t do any Halloween stuff. Sort of a bummer, I think. I have such fond memories of parading around and seeing everyone’s costumes.

Our 3 trick-or-treaters: Zebra, wizard, and a vet (despite buttons of a cat and dog and a real name tag that said “veterinarian,” everyone said he was a doctor. Evan corrected every single one of them, of course)
