HALLOWEEN came quickly this year! I had all these great plans to do themed family costumes but October hasn't been kind! So I'm grateful for children who were easily convinced to come up with fast second options. Chloe was happy to redo Carson's pirate from two years ago. Hair and make-up started right after school.She made such a pretty little swash- buckler!
Carson was determined to be scary this year. I guess he's reached that age. I was just barely trusted to come up with a costume without him. He really wanted a"real mask" (I guess mommy's make-up job isn't legit). A few days before we went to a party at the church and I made him skip the mask- he was not happy! The paint was stinging and itching and it only fueled the fire when he made kids cry! Poor guy felt like he had to hang out in the halls! Now when Halloween came he quickly realized that I was right. The mask came off and 5 minutes before they left I started painting his face! Why is Mom so smart?
Crew didn't really know what was happening. He wouldn't let Carson get too close. The voice and the face just didn't jive! He was most happy when the kids came to the door and he could try to get his own candy. He was a hit with all the trick-or-treaters. It didn't take long though for him to realize this party was going to go past 6:30. As soon as the costume started coming off I knew a meltdown was nearing. So we left some candy on the doorstep and Mickey went to bed.
The haul this year was disgusting. I guess there were very few children so people were handing out candy by the handful! ........I'm the only one complaining.
