The day before Halloween, it was a balmy 75. We picked pumpkins (sans coats) and played outside all afternoon.
The day OF Halloween, it was 47 with 25 mph winds. Figures, right? It was COLD!
After nap, I got the kids dressed and we ventured into Grant for Trick or Treat Street. All of the local businesses head outside and hand out candy to all the little trick-or-treaters downtown. It’s a fun, safe, delightful afternoon of candy hoarding.
Sawyer even made their Facebook cover!
We came home and started our 4th annual Halloween Camp IN. We started this tradition by accident. The first Halloween in this house, we didn’t have much of our furniture yet and were busy working/painting in all of the rooms, so we were all sleeping in the living room. The next year, we made it a little more purposeful and brought in the tent. Ever since, that’s been our gig!
I made a fun supper complete with mummy dogs, jack-o-lantern sliders, potion punch, caramel apples, ghost marshmallows and their stash of trick-or-treat treats.
Kermie and Piggy had a ball playing in the dark, waiting for Daddy to get home and then it was tent time! We set up camp, ate treats and watched a few fun shows.
It was a goooood day. A real good day. We still have WAY too much candy floating around the place but having daddy home for the weekend has put a dent in it.
so sweet!
