This year for Halloween, we were invited to 5 different places to trick or treat with friends. We ended up at 4 of those 5, because thankfully, they all ended up on different days.
Hanley dressed as the same cheetah/kitty for all the events and Conrad had a dragon costume, only Conrad actually never wore his costume.
The first event was my brother's church Trunk or Treat. It was a great time with a huge turnout. Seeing all the different ways the trunks were decorated is always so fun! It was nearly 80 degrees that Sunday and that's almost unheard of for where we live. Hanley didn't have to wear any undergarments under her dress and Conrad wore his skeleton jammies because his dragon costume was so warm with thick fleece.
The next weekend we went trick or treating at my grandma's house. My brother, his kids, and my cousin Lisa and her kids were there too! We only made it 2 blocks before Hanley said she was finished and wanted to head back. It was very nice day and perfect for trick or treating so I didn't fight with Conrad on wearing his dragon costume.
The next day we were invited to trick or treat with our friends. It rained for the first 10 minutes of us walking around but it ended up clearing up and was a decent day. Conrad still refused to wear his dragon costume so skeleton pajamas layered over other clothes it was!
By the final day of trick or treating, Hanleys face was reacting to all the makeup I had been using to draw on her cheetah spots so we didn't give her a kitty face.
The kids had a blast with all their friends and of course getting loads of candy. Conrad picked up the concept right away and he was absolutely adorable holding out his pumpkin bucket to collect his treats!
I will most likely freeze some candy and use it for the pinata at Conrad's birthday party next year.
In addition to all the trick or treating we participated in, Hanley got to dress up for her weekly dance class and Michael and I went to an adult Halloween party at a friend's house. Michael doesn't care to dress up but I went all out.
