Every year we go to our friends’ house the night of Halloween as they live near downtown and near the street closures and over-the-top decorated houses. It’s lots of fun, but it gets crazier every year! This year, my original costume never materialized as I was lacking a key piece. So I went as the old stand-by for trick-or-treating: a nerd. That’s about all I could muster given I’d already used everything else and didn’t want to wear a costume I’d already worn… It was still fun since it’s really for the kids anyway. Right?!?! Avery and Ainsley wore their costumes for the third time for trick-or-treating and Avery’s was looking pretty sad. Ainsley’s was washable and I’d washed it twice already at this point! Jared’s costume was just wrong… but he sure got a lot of laughs from the fellow adults walking around with kids. I’m glad all the hooplah is over, for now. All this stuff is a huge amount of work.
