Halloween 2019

Where is this year going?  I feel as though September skipped us and October came through even faster.  I'm starting to see Christmas decorations going up in the neighborhood.  Personally, I like to wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas.  When I think about Thanksgiving I think about all things orange, yellow, brown, pumpkins, cornucopias, and turkeys.  It's really hard for me to combine that holiday with Christmas but to each his own, I guess.

This year for Halloween my daughter didn't want to be her usual cutesy princess.  She wanted to go as something scary.  We didn't plan on getting her a costume this year but when I saw the zombie ballerina at the Halloween store I couldn't resist.  It's perfect for a girl who already takes professional dance lessons.  My son kept the same costume as last year.

I took my daughter to her school's Trunk or Treat but my son had to miss it because of Boy Scouts but she was more than happy to share her candy with him.

 Because the weather was bad;  rain and heavy winds and a tornado watch, Trick-or-Treating in our community was changed from October 31 to November 2.  It was nice to have it on a Saturday.  The kids dressed up and we walked around the neighborhood.  They ended up with more candy then we know what to do with.  I'm not even sure I will allow them to keep it all.
