Mike Wazowski (from Monsters University) and Rainbow Dash (from My Little Pony)
Halloween was busy, loud, chaotic, and a whole lot of fun.
We all met here for a quick supper and then got costumes on and hit the road. We had a fun combination of costumes:
In the back row: Character of Minecraft, Astrid (from How to Train your Dragon), Rainbow Dash, Elsa (from Frozen).
In the front: A hobo, Mike Wazowski, Rainbow-unicorn-princess.
Tim stayed back to hand out candy and the whole gang started down the street. It was a bit cold and windy, but the kids were running most of the time, so I don’t think they noticed. Josiah really got into the spirit of things as he realized they actually put candy in his bucket. He would hold Jen’s hand down the street and then (as soon as he had the OK) sprint when he was in the next driveway–it was pretty adorable.
After everyone was nice and worn out (not to mention cold!) from walking up and down the streets, and the buckets were plenty full… we had hot chocolate and popcorn and the kids watched a movie.
The grown-ups chatted until it was time to put everyone to bed, which went surprisingly smoothly considering there were so many kids. Only one had to be moved, for being too loud, so that’s pretty good! 🙂 I was hoping everyone would sleep in nice and late the next day, but alas, no. Happily, though, it was Tim who rolled out of bed to get Josiah and he let me sleep a little longer.
It was so much fun watching the cousins play together and enjoy making memories.
Glad you all had a great time and everyone stayed safe and healthy!
It does sound as you said that all the kids had a fun time and behaved themselves. Glad the sleepover went well also.
