Our first Halloween in the Main Street house was a very happy one indeed.
 |
Carter as Robin Hood
|
We had a heck of a time finding a costume to fit Carter. He wanted to be Batman (The Dark Knight) but all the kid costumes were too small and the adult costumes too big. It's hard to be an in-betweener. Fortunately Dada found this one. It was adult-sized as well, but I altered it a bit. It's not Halloween unless I'm fixing someone's costume at 4:30 PM.

| Carter, T as ??? and E without his Viking costume, which was apparently too warm to wear until trick-or-treat time. |
 |
Rosalind as a WALKING ZOMBIE!
(That's what the packaging of her costume said. I found it offensive and discriminatory -
what about wheelchair-bound zombies?) |
 |
| ZOMBIE FACE |
 |
| E as Athena the goddess of ...wisdom? And Roz |
 |
| Brennan used his mad culinary skills to carve our jack o'lanterns :) |
 |
| ooooh, scary. |
Carter left around 5 with his buddies for dinner and trick-or-treating. We were sad to see him go - just another reminder that our kids are growing up too fast. WAAAAA! No growing up!
Harrison wasn't going to go trick-or-treating this year, but we finally convinced him to come with us. He threw on a cape, a witch hat and glasses (he did it so fast, I didn't get a chance to grab a pic) and went as Harry Potter. Hubby and I took him, Roz and Emma around the neighborhood. I wore my Betsy Ross costume and Hubby went as Hubby. The kids made A HAUL and we met many sweet people living nearby.
Brennan and Bella stayed home and handed out candy to our small number of trick-or-treaters - but they did come, which made us very happy. Halloween is alive and well in our neighborhood. Hooray!
