Our Halloween was not as "exciting" as the Kaza's. Though, I did paint my shirt orange and was using a hair dryer to try to get it to dry in time. I used kids' washable paint so it made my shirt kind of crinkly.
Mario had to work a lot right up until we left to go out and party. But we were able to throw together this costume for him which ranged from a Private Detective, to a Police Officer, to Wyatt Earp.
Sheila was a little sad that she couldn't be a dinosaur like her brothers, but quickly got happy for her princess costume. And while I really wanted to be a matching princess with Sheila, I felt I should maximize my belly opportunity while I have one.
All the kids really enjoyed trick or treating. Joey's enthusiastic "Happy Halloween" that he said to neighbors as he left was later joined by his get to the point, "Can I have some candy?" whenever they'd open the door and then pause to comment on the cute dinosaur costumes.
Our neighborhood Halloween party was fun as usual. Though these neighbors really make the Haunted Woods in their backyard pretty spooky. But none of the kids woke up with nightmares, so I think all went well. I however, woke up without a voice - I guess a combination of my cold and too much Halloween partying will do that to you. It's funny because I can only whisper and Joey and MJ have been whispering back to me this morning.
Happy All Saints Day!
