Boo!

I'm a Halloween Baahumbug. It is such a bizarre holiday, and the huge amount of candy and WRAPPERS drive me nuts! But the kids love it, so I slap a smile on my face and do it anyway. Each year, we have at least one really random costume in the family. The last two years it was Caleb's "old grumpy man that just woke up" and "the richest man in the world". This year it was Ivie. She was a "scrub-a-dub-dub girl". She came up with the title and costume all by herself and was sure to tell anyone who asked that she was going to be a "scrub-a-dub-dub girl", which usually required a bit of explanation. Caleb was a mad scientist with Albert Einstein hair, Norah was a princess (doesn't the look on her face tell you exactly how she feels about her costume?), and Jane was a giraffe (who thought she was a horse). She sat contentedly in the wagon clutching the same few tootsie rolls the WHOLE time. Our neighborhood did a 'Trick or Treat Street" (similar to a trunk or treat) with dinner before the trick or treat-ing. Super fun and not too cold thankfully!
