Halloween - before the real thing!

 

It's officially holiday season!  We've got the next two months full of all things holiday - traditions - friends - family - fun!  These are some of my favorite months and we're only just beginning!

The school has really stepped up since COVID - the kids have a trunk or treat now and a cute little Halloween parade at the school where they get to wear their costumes.  It's fun to get to be a part of these little traditions they are making at the school - it would be great if the kids wanted to run around with their friends though instead of just orbiting me the whole time.  I shouldn't complain, they won't always want to be so close.

The kids opted for alternate costumes for the trunk or treat and picked angel and devil instaed of what we had planned for the family/group costume.  It was cute, because they got to have multiple outfits this year.  And, I will commend them for their creativity!

We did pumpkins with Stella and Lucy the Sunday before Halloween.  Hazel did a cat, free hand (isn't it great?).

Abby did a scary skull face - who knew?!  But I love how creative they both were!

Lastly, I ducked out of work for an hour or so to see the kids Halloween parade at school.  I'm glad Abby is still interetsted in dressing up.  The 6th, 7th and 8th graders were all grouped together because a good bit of the class decided not to dress up.  It makes me sad, but I know we don't have many eyars left!

I love that we still get this Abby - the one that is willing to be a little silly and dress up at school with all of her "too cool for school" friends around.
