Green Bean was a ghost. ( learned the hard way that black sharpie does not dry to duct tape and smudges and gets on everything else, so we just went with gray.)
Bailey wanted to be an evil scientist. (so she could rat her hair like crazy.)
Cal went with a last minute decision of 50s girl. ( the skirt should look familiar to some.)
Here is a shot of Greenlei and myself in the car while the others ran up to a door.
Here is everyone else pushing through the extreme wind to get up to a house.( a really gorgeous, big house.)
So, we had a lot of fun I think. Bailey didnt want to do the trunk or treat thing, so we just went door to door around our hood and the next hood over. ( the weller off people hood.) Heres the deal though; Halloween around here kinda really stinks, heres why:a. The weather sucks! Some years there is snow, last year it rained, this year- riddikulus winds.
2. Houses are not generally close together.
3. Horribly long driveways are very common.
4. There needs to be some kind of dang universal signal that you are home and have candy, and another for not home, dont have candy, or just want to be left alone!( Cause if I run up your long dang driveway with a 3 year old who's paper dress is blowing away, someone better be giving up some kind of dang treat!)
So I think from now on we will be sticking to trunk or treats in our snow boots and such instead of the door to door, but we really did have fun despite the above list. Probably because Marlee laughed the whole sprint up every driveway, and was so excited and always came back and told the adult who stayed in the car with Greenlei that they gave her candy (like she was still in shock that it was happening.)
