Halloween 2017

Halloween is one of our favorite events of the school year!

This year Claire went as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter and Rhys went as a Garden Gnome. Jimmy & I dressed up as 80’s rockers. To celebrate we carved pumpkins, made special treats for the school dance party, went to a work party, the kids school hosted a Halloween party that we had fun at and of course trick-or-treating is always a good time 🙂

Halloween 2015

We had a very fun Hallowe’en this year. Harry Potter is a big hit in our house so Claire & Rhys wanted to dress up as Harry Potter & Hermione. Of course we had to join in the fun too. Jimmy went as Hagrid and I went as Professor McGonagall.

We met up with some friends in their neighborhood which is perfect for trick-or-treating… houses are close together and almost every house participates. We were outside for approx 1.5 hours and the kids collected way too much candy. In fact, we are weeks away from Christmas and we still have loads left. I think next year we will factor in a candy tax for our efforts in the costume design and facilitating trick-or-treating 😉
