We had such a great Halloween this year. I got to dress up for work as Dorothy and someone that I'm kind of sweet on told me that I looked great as Dorothy and tried to photobomb a picture of me that a co-worker was taking of me. Later on this person dressed up as a Gorilla and at first scared me but I eventually got used to it ( I have issues at Halloween when it comes to masks and Gorillas) and when I eventually went and got my kids so that they could do some Trick or Treating at my office, he was kind enough to let the girls see that there was a person under the mask and touch the various parts of the costume.
Later on we did some Trick or Treating in my old neighborhood from when I was growing up and it was so great to see some old friends that I don't get to see very often anymore and I gave the girls some leeway while going house to house. As long as they went to houses with a light on and stayed where I could easily see them, I had no problem with them acting like ping pong balls and running from house to house and joining various groups of kids as they gathered treats.
They made out like little bandits on the candy front and for the first time ever I weighed the haul and they did rather well with a total of about 11 pounds of candy. We should have enough to last us a small while now. I need to get rid of the stuff that I know we won't eat at all. Unless I can pawn some of it on unsuspecting friends and family.
The school Halloween Parade was totally awesome and great and I loved seeing all the kids in their costumes and the teachers in their grade level themed costumes. The First Grade Teachers were Super Heroes and so funny. Kindergarten teachers were a Very Hungry Caterpillar, Second Grade was characters from Strega Nona, Third Grade were Lincoln Cares Paws (stickers that the kids earn for various reasons that spell out the word Cares), Fourth grade teachers were Nerds and the Fifth Grade teachers were Minions from Despicable Me. The Front Staff were members of a Circus with the Principal as the RingMaster / Master of Ceremonies.
