Halloween fell on a Sunday in 2010. We participated in a church trunk or treat on the freezing Saturday before the holiday. The kids made the rounds and were ready to head home. On Sunday, we went to the Charter House to visit our adopted Oma and Opa. I don't have a picture of them here which is weird, but we have attended their Halloween celebration for the last few years. They are a marvelous couple who have become part of our family and we love them dearly. At the Charter House the kids parade past the residents and line up to get their picture taken with the Queen of the Pumpkin Patch. After the picture, they are given a bag of treats, donuts, popcorn, punch and it is a lot of fun to see all the smiles from the residents. After the Charter House we came home and the kids answered the door for trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood. I think we played Pinochle with Mom and Dad. That is getting to be a tradition too.
M was thrilled to participate this year. She was very ill last year so she is grinning from ear to ear for good reason. She is a princess/wizardess/something pretty and not scary. The day before at the trunk or treat she was a Twister game, but she picked her costume from last year for the visit to Oma and Opa's.
C is a ninja and this is the scariest costume I have tolerated thus far. I don't love the creepy, scary, elements of Halloween. He knew the names of his different swords and knives. He eventually got sick of the mask, but he was still pretty tough looking.
B was Dorothy this year. When I bought the costume (last year) her hair was long and I thought it would look so cute in braids. We cut it in shorter layers during the summer so we settle on these cute piggy tails. I think she is darling, but she must be eating her candy already based on that look on her face.
