We had already had several Halloween celebrations by the time the actual day rolled around this year, and that was a good thing for a couple of reasons: 1) It was pretty chilly out and 2) Halloween fell on a Friday - the first Friday of high school football playoffs. Thankfully, Matt was able to be around for the first part of our trick-or-treating. Brooke quickly went around our block with some of the neighbor girls (pictures of this are on Matt's phone so I'll try to edit them in later) while I was waking the younger two up and getting them in costume. We then went a few blocks over to Kali's house to trick-or-treat with her family for about an hour until Matt had to leave.
After that, we headed over to Grammie Deb and Grandpa Brian's, where Aunt Jamie met us to get a few more goodies from their neighbors while Paige stayed in the warmth of the house. Will made a cameo toward the end of the evening, too.
The kids did really well, over all. I think that the break in the middle was good and Miles kept up much better than I'd expected. And we were home and the kids were in bed by 7:30.
We tried a little photo shoot post-trick-or-treating. Miles was not the most cooperative.
Giving the ol' tiger costume it's third Halloween.
Twinsies!
Sometimes candid shots capture the moment best.
Just the girls.
The day before Halloween, Brooke's class and the 3's at school did a "Halloween Parade". Brooke was one of 2 Anna's in her class, but she wore Anna's "For the First Time in Forever" gown and the other little girl wore Anna's "Searching for Elsa" gown. (sidenote: Brooke chose to wear the "Searching for Elsa" dress on Halloween night, so thanks, Uncle Joel and Lauren!)
They did a couple poems and songs. When I sent Matt a video of one of the songs, his text response was, "BOO!" Such a supportive dad.
Happy Halloween (almost a month late)!
