We had a fun and rather quiet Halloween. The day seemed to last forever but the kids did really well waiting. We didn’t do anything really special for the day, which was a little depressing actually. If it hadn’t been the weekend we would have at least had a normal day of waiting for DH to come home from work, and I might have been a bit more inspired to get into the spirit. We’re kind of last minute costume people. Somehow we rarely think about what we’re going to do until like, 5 minutes before we leave the house. I mean, DH and I do that anyways, and because DS is still young and doesn’t really understand what is going on we waited for him too. DD wanted to be a ghost, which made costume design easy, but she had a bit of a hard time moving. She was cute though. And for DS I found a clown costume that DH’s aunt had given the kids. He fit in it perfectly. I wish I had a video of him too cause he was so excited he was jumping around and very clownish. So cute!
We went over to my in-laws place for a little party. It’s kinda hard not letting the kids having candy for these holidays. I grew up trick-or-treating and have fond memories of it, but I can’t let these kids do that. They’ve never had candy really unless it was the healthy home made kind. Kinda boring for me, but the kids seem to love it. And DH grew up this way, so it’s not really anything new for him. I felt like I had so little energy this year, but fortunately my MIL really gets into the spirit and she made some pumpkin muffins and cookies and some bread cookies got out some snack foods for us. The kids got to go trick-or-treating around my in-laws house and they thought it was the greatest thing in the world.:) DH dressed up as a… :/ green man? LoL He has green long johns, and after I informed him that Klingons were out of the question this year, he just put some green face paint on and was kinda a swamp monster/green man thing. He was cute. My MIL was a fairy, complete with a cute little wand she made, and my FIL was a norwegian skier. LoL, he does come up with some original costumes. And I decided to just go as a mom. My creative energy was gone by the end of the day and I really had no desire to get goofy and have pictures taken. Next year, I’ll come up with something. It really was a fun evening for everyone.
