our adventure with no power from the freak October snowstorm started just before halloween. of course i was happy to find a few pictures on my camera that i forgot that i had taken.
the day of the storm we ventured down to a fun halloween parade in a nearby town. all the shops hand out candy and it was really cute to see all the costumes. i like the fact that it is in the morning the best and we'll probably do it again next year so that the kids can hand out candy at home in the evening. i'm really not crazy about walking down streets and knocking on people's doors :)
chris had an intervention with me early in october - no homemade costumes. i knew i had a lot on my plate, but i really wanted to do it. i think i get this from my mom - but i would stay up all night at the last minute just to get something done. so, off to target we went, and we ended up with a super cute dash from the incredibles, and a monster. really super cute, if i do say so myself.
thankfully the boys ended up with just enough treats, but not too much. and since we had no power on the actual holiday, our town cancelled trick or treating, so the candy i had purchased went to my classmates at school during a presentation. i know how to lay it on thick to win extra brownie points.
oh my word, i LOVE the costumes. the monster is AWEsome.
