Halloween 🎃 2019

This Halloween will go down in history. The day before Halloween about 3 inches of snow fell and more continued to fall on Halloween just as the kids we’re getting ready to go trick or treating. In fact, the snow was blowing sideways as the kids left school and made their way home to go trick or treating. They were already in their costumes (Peyton was a werewolf and Hailey was Kion from the show Lion Guard) since they had a Halloween parade at school so we just added more layers!

Good thing our neighbor had a party beforehand. Both kids and adults weren’t as anxious to go out into the cold and start the candy collection so we started a bit later than usual and ended a bit earlier too. Peyton ran from house to house while Hailey lagged a little behind. They were tired and cold and only made it up and down our long block before melting down in the middle of our street over a king-sized candy bar that one of them said the other stole from her bag. Never mind that Austen was going to come home with 20 or more of those giant bars that they could have. Hence, why we retired at 6pm and my kids were sleeping by 6:45pm.

Well, not Austen. He trick or treated with his usual group and slept over at his friend’s house. We had no school on Friday as an extra bonus so that’s why it was extra fun to stay up late and sleepover. He had a great time again this year and we know it’s because his friend is a boy/girl twin and his sister always has her friends over! They don’t sleep there but they still all hang out together.

So despite the weather everyone still had a good Halloween. I mostly did because of Tom’s spiked apple cider and his roving bar in our little red wagon.
