Halloween 2025

 Halloween felt pretty simple this year, not much on the table.  Even the toothbrushes were downgraded from electric, because the kids all said they weren't even using that feature and wanted the ones with sticky bottoms.  = (

We tried our best to make Grace's hair into a pumpkin. It wasn't much of a pumpkin, but it still looked cute.

I volunteered at the twins' school to run the Bingo station for their fall festival.  For some reason, they both got on the bus after school, but Kennedy listened to the plan, and so she ended up riding with me, while the girls took the bus.

They did beat us home, because I'd spent so much time waiting for them in the bandhall, which was where the Bingo was played, so I figured they'd come back through there, but no. = 0

Juliet's new friend Charlotte was able to come by later, after going home and changing into her costume.

The sun was extra bright, casting relfections from Emily's saxophone,

...as well as a bright reflection from Grace's shirt!

Where is the best place to play a game that you really can't easily move once you've started? Definitely in the path of the front door!

I made a homemade pizza out of some clearance bread that I got at Walmart.  It was quite enjoyable as pizza!


My crew.  Thought it's a weird angle, so they all look short and wide: Ender Dragon, Megan, Woodland Fairy, Zombie, and Dragon!

The sixth grade crew!

During the holiday, the Cornishes came by, as well as Jennifer, so us ladies passed out candy, while the dads took around the crew.  Eventually, Emily's friends stopped by, and once she found that out, she was off with them instead!

It wasn't the coldest of Halloweens, but I wouldn't have minded another 15 degrees or so.

I found some clearance cookies at Walmart a few days after Halloween, so I grabbed them for my crew to color.  Sadly, they were not very good cookies, and the food coloring tasted awful. = (  I think we threw out most of them.

They were easy to color though!



We got to give out some fun stuff this year: potatoes, canned beans, bottles of water, and even tuna!  The kids thought it was great fun, and usually choose one of those in addition to two pieces of candy for one of their "choose three."

I did feel like October went by pretty slowly, since Halloween fell on a Friday, but November absolutely flew by and we are staring December in the face!  As we finish up the Thanksgiving break, I'm already feeling tired and ready for Christmas break!
