| Why be just one thing for Halloween when you can be three? |

| I love this look of pure Halloween hysteria. |
We had a great day. We carved our pumpkins (I know, lame to do it the day of), made hot dog mummies for lunch (hot dogs with roll dough wrapped around them and baked — totally healthy), had soup and hot bread for dinner — and waited for the rain to stop so we Anna could go trick or treating. It did stop. Eventually.
The upside of a rainy Halloween? People practically begged us to take their candy, since fewer kids were out. This is Anna's loot after stopping at maybe 15 houses.
One neighbor actually told Anna to take seven candy bars. SEVEN!
I also love that Anna is getting more and more creative with her attire, the older she gets. (Hence, the 3-in-1 costume this year.) It takes me back to when I started coming up with my own costume ideas, however lame. Like the year I was a die (as in dice — yes, I wore a giant cardboard box with armholes) or when I thought I had achieved ultimate Halloween genius by dressing as Mrs. Claus. And then there was the time I dressed up as a business man, only to have my trick-or-treating plans foiled by the flu. Ah, the memories.
What were you for Halloween, this year or in years past?
Haha! I remember when you were a dice because I stole the idea and was also a dice the next year. That is quite the creative mermaid fairy costume!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Full-size candy bars?! Sheesh! Where do you live?!
ReplyDeleteCan I come there too?
Gina, that is FUNNY about your dice costume. I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd Amber, I know! Back in the olden days, we had to go WAY out of our neighborhood to get full-size candy bars. But a few neighbors were offering them this year, and at one house, I'm sad to say, Anna picked a packaged rice krispie treat [gag] instead.
Dang we should have come there to Trick-or-treat. We really were thinking of coming too. Saiji would've scored and by Saiji I mean me! We were all Sushi...no one knew what we were I had to explain it to everyone..boo hoo. Tell Anna that is the best Halloween costume of all time. She should hang out with our neighbor who was a robot pirate.
ReplyDeleteI should have commented last year on this post. There are vomit remnants STILL on my hat you were borrowing for the businessman costume. Wanna borrow it again? :)
