WOW! What a day. We got Ms. G's vest sewn. She did most of it. Although, I did get very pissed with my mom's sewing machine. It mostly did not work. I think It only worked going backward and doing a zig zag stitch. All said and done, she was Nancy Drew for Halloween and she made her own outfit. I am very proud of her.
Mr. A was a "rich millionaire." He was too cute. He had a homemade costume too. I came across a tux just his size for $12 at this used kid store. It was perfect. We added a little briefcase,fake money, and a plastic hat. He was dressed to the T's.
Baby AL wore the same outfit from trunk-or-treat. He was cute but did not like just walking door to door. He went to about 5 houses, got no candy, and then went to hang out with dad and the over achiever neighbors.
Oh yeah! I was the wicked witch of the west. I did not color my face green because I was afraid it would scare the littlest love bug.
I have to say, we have the coolest neighbors around. Our neighborhood is the place to be on Halloween night. We went to about 10 houses got so much candy about 1/3 of a pillowcase full. We have these neighbors that are on the other street that really do up the decorations. There yard is full of creepy stuff. Very neat.
Then you go down the street a few houses and they have a moon bounce and an inflatable maze for the kids. They do smores for everyone. The parents just hang out at the street for a bit.
Then we head back to our street and head over to a few houses to sit by the fire and enjoy some beer, all the while watching black and white silent movies on their gragage door. The kids LOVED it. They watched "Phantom of the Opera" until about 9:30. Then they joined the adults around the fire and just talked. Beleive me when I say, a good time was had by all.
This where Sean and Baby AL hung out all night. I got to take the kids around this year.
Overall, it was a great night. We will have to do it again next year.
