Playing Catch-up: Halloween
We returned from Thailand just in time for Halloween. I arranged our trip that way on purpose because I wanted the kids to experience a real American Halloween. Our neighborhood goes all-out when it comes to decorating and the kids loved seeing new things show up in yards every day.
With all the renovations going on at the house, I told the kids that we were going to have to use the costumes we had in the dress-up bin and I was pleasantly surprised when they were fine with it. Even Sky, who can find a way to get mad about pretty much nothing, was fine with pulling out something she'd worn dozens of times before. Sky was a purple princess for school and a beauty queen at night, Fire was an alligator, Water was Batman, and Earth wore the skeleton pajamas that Water wore last year.
We only trick-or-treated up and down our street before the kids were done but they had tons of fun handing out candy to other trick-or-treaters and playing with light sabers and glow sticks in the driveway. It's so much fun to watch the kids have fun!

Our pumpkins (real pumpkins after years of not having them was a nice change)
