I was relatively excited for Halloween this year. All 3 kids are old enough to walk, talk and carry their own candy. Jared decided 2 months ago to be Ironman, and never once wavered. Easy store bought. Done. Lainy begged pleaded and whined to be Rapunzel. I rolled it around in my brain for a solid week and convinced her to be a fairy. Her aunt Shelley had made a beautiful tutu that was begging for public use. So, I figured I would whip up a little sparkly top and wings in a jiffy. A jiffy it was not. Though they turned out pretty cute. Jayce bounced ideas around until he settled on being a trash can. Not sure where the idea came from, but I couldn't talk him out of it.
Friday night was the party for church, which was pretty awesome. Dinner, games and trunk or treating. Jayce’s costume was not “running around” friendly so he ditched it near a table. I guess it was inevitable that someone opened it and dumped a half eaten plate of chili in it… A little rinse with a hose and he was back in business.
This afternoon was school parties, and I was blessed by the assignment of overseeing an hour and a half of first graders bowling. Over and over again. My ab and thigh muscles will thank me in the morning I am sure.
And this evening. Trick or treating. The anticipation had dwindled a bit with Halloween being drawn out 3 or 4 days. Costumes were itchy, heavy, or sweaty. They lasted an hour. I carried the trash can, ironman mask, and fairy wings home. Though the trash can was definitely a crowd favorite. They didn’t even want to hit the houses on the way back home. Just wanted to get home.
So that wraps up Halloween 2011. We did miss our traditional annual trip to Grama Jet’s this year… 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
