For years, Halloween was accompanied by freezing rain and winds beyond comprehension. This year, we had sunny skies, fair temperatures and it was on a Saturday – it was the ultimate trick-or-treating combination! Of course this perfect trio is paired with still being in a pandemic, but this was one “holiday” that I did not want the kids to miss out on. B + O have been inside the house since March, very little social gatherings (I can probably count them on one hand) and I wanted them to have a night running through the neighborhood without a worry – just have FUN!
Max changed his costume 5x during the month of October, so I knew better than to order anything. Spiderman was the costume of choice Halloween morning, and by lunch he decided he wanted to be Dash from Incredibles! Ha! Thankfully we had a top – and made it happen. Owen was Jason, how charming. Brody was a Blue Jackets player with a black eye and missing tooth – a glimpse at his future.
They put their masks on and tore up the streets for two hours straight. Max and I went to the houses on our street, who all just set candy out on a table, it was perfectly safe!
This year, we have all been faced with so many challenges. It really warmed my heart to see these three enjoying a night out without a worry in their minds. It was sweet, just like the pounds of candy they brought back!
