We made it through another Halloween with only a few tears and a few bruises but lots of lots of candy! The fun started bright and early when my 5:15am gym class got in the spirit!

Samantha thought my wig was pretty funny!

Pretty soon my crew was ready to scare away some ghosts for school!

They ain’t afraid of no ghosts! That afternoon I got to go up and help with Spencer’s class party.

Around 4:30 it was time to get costumes on and head out! Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Rapunzel reporting for Halloween duty!

It ended up being pretty warm that night and a little muggy. At least it wasn’t raining though! We started off with the neighbors for a little pre-party…

and then trick-or-treated up the street on the way to the main party. Samantha was having a little trouble keeping up with the big kids…

but then she found a friend and it worked out!

Spencer’s night started off better than expected when he got a KING size Kit Kat!

The party was fun and chaotic with bounce houses, the train, and lots of people. We then took off trick-or-treating and tried to stay together but Maxwell wanted to go off with his friends, Samantha wouldn’t go to a door by herself, and Spencer was trying to keep up with all of it. Unfortunately, in trying to keep up he tripped and fell and caught himself with his face on a driveway. OUCH. The screams were pretty loud and he was pretty pitiful. We were literally the furthest point we could have been from home so all we could do was start walking back. He didn’t trick-or-treat anymore but was doing a little better by the time we made it back to the house.

We might have had an injury but everyone had full baskets and all the candy they could want!

Despite Samantha’s face there I’d say it was a successful Halloween!
