Happy Halloween!

Halloween was kind of weird this year. We were just so preoccupied with other things. I feel like a bit of a mom dud, 'cause I didn't really do a lot of special Halloween stuff with the kids this year. And I love Halloween, so it was kind of a bummer. But oh well. We didn't decorate for Halloween or carve pumpkins, 'cause I knew we would actually be out of our house by the time Halloween came. We did make some Halloween cupcakes and cookies and caramel apples, so we did do a few things. I felt lucky that I remembered to pull all the costume pieces aside before the movers took our stuff. I did forget to pull together a costume for myself though. I threw together being a half-hearted Harry Potter at the last minute. Sort of lame. Next year we'll do better.
Here we are in our temporary lodging room (the little hotels you stay in right when you get here and right as you are leaving). Anna didn't want to be in our picture. She was having a moment.

Here she is happy though. She wanted to be a kitty again, just like last year.
My make up job made her look a little more like a mouse. ;)

Matthew was Buzz Lightyear.
A popular choice this year. He had to explain to people that he doesn't really fly.

Scott as Waldo.
Everyone loved his costume, and was very excited to find him. He looked great.

We did a little trick or treating around the BX.
It only took us about 20 minutes to make the rounds there, but that was enough.

The kids had a great time and everyone thought they were adorable. :) Next year we will be settled and not moving during Halloween (I hope) so things should be a little more calm and normal. I'm looking forward to that! Happy Halloween everyone!
