Halloween Fun



Trick or Treat!
Halloween was a little different this year. The kids were off from school because of teacher's workday, and they were all off doing their own thing. Kevin and Jessica were at band practice- 9-3, then Jessica went to piano lessons then a party, and Kevin hung out at the Smith's house. Rachel went to a party from 12-5, Jennifer worked 5-10pm, Melissa went to a party and trick or treated , and Brian had a Halloween lunch at work, and attended a farewell party for dinner, then took Rachel trick or treating. I made pumpkin cheese bread (yum)- it actually took all day. I started at 10am, but didn't get it in the oven until after 5 because of all the driving kids around, picking up, and helping with costumes etc. The house did smell yummy though. When things settled down and the house was empty, I cooked myself a pot pie in the microwave for my Halloween feast and answered the door and handed out candy. We had a fun visit with Lizzy, Robert, and Eve. Little Eve wore Jennifer's clown costume and looked so cute!
Melissa dressed up in her flapper dress that we had put together for a murder mystery party she went to as Violet. We pulled her hair back in a 20's type roll. Rachel decided the night before the school dress up that she wanted to dress like her Gaia avatar with a pumpkin Barret. So I finished sewing up this pumpkin attached to a head band for her to wear. At first I had it to the side like her pictures, but the weight of the pumpkin made it fall off- so we quickly re attached it to the top of her head. She walked very straight and erect, but looked very stylish with her pumpkin head.
