We were gone for Halloween this year - an unprecedented moment for Jeremy and I. Beyond Christmas, Halloween is probably our favorite holiday to celebrate with the kids. So much fun. Since we were up on Vancouver Island, we were going to travel the 4 hours back, involving a long ferry ride to come home for a few hours and participate but we were talked out of it by four doting grandparents who were excited to "man the holiday" by themselves. And when you mix in dressing up, trick or treating, walking about town in costume and organizing a large loot of candy, apparently we aren't even missed in the slightest.
And since it POURED down rain, Everly was completely happy with the stash she got from town and opted to stick around the house and answer the door and handout candy while Parker finished up with the neighborhood. At one point my mom said she asked him if he was wet and he said "Only to my skin" and then she asked if he was cold and he replied "Only where I'm wet". Buddy, the grandparents said they hadn't seen it rain that hard in a long time. And I think he was soaked and cold everywhere. But candy has a way of distracting.
Everly managed to make this extraordinary cookie at her preschool Halloween celebration. It's difficult to balance two pounds of toppings on a small cookie, but she managed to be successful.
