Halloween is always such a fun celebration! I love seeing all of the costumes, the way neighborhoods come together for fun, and the sense of community it creates.
This year Ace invited several of his friends from school to come over and trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. This crew is usually "together" via a group chat while playing video games daily, but it was fun to watch them laugh and interact in real life. They all decided they wanted to be something scary, but Ace doesn't like masks or for his face to be completely covered so he opted for a monkey costume instead. ;)
Lydia and one of her friends dressed as animals and went out on their own. They ended up at another friend's house by the end of the night and called for a ride home because they didn't want to make the trek back. lol They were going to be "party" animals, but their party hats didn't arrive in time. Maybe that's an element they can add next year.
Mackaylan and Quin (and Mickey) stayed at the house on Friday night and gave out candy to the trick-or-treaters. However, on Saturday night they went to a Halloween party and dressed as "Dog" the Bounty Hunter and Beth. They put these costumes together and they turned out epic!
One Halloween tradition that we have had for many years is we always eat sloppy joes for dinner. This tradition started when Mackaylan was little and we would spend Halloween night with my parents, my sister, and her family. We still continue this tradition every year even though we are no longer on with them on Halloween.
As I sit and write this post, I am looking around at the Halloween decor that needs to be packed up until next year. I have procrastinated taking it down all weekend. I love the lights, the pumpkins, and the feeling it creates in the house.
