Tricks or Treats?
The WEEK of Halloween is always full of sweets & fun. It also marks the beginning of the downhill slide into the chaos surrounding the holidays. We had lots of fun around here and had plenty of opportunities to dress-up.
On Thursday, the girls were able to wear their costumes to preschool. The children were then led from class to class at the high school to trick-or-treat (TOT). They came home wired (duh), and brought home a boat-load of treats.
Every year on the 30th of October, the shops downtown pass out candy. We got us all together & went to TOT there Thursday night. 
After TOT-ing, we stopped at the clubhouse in our neighborhood for the neighborhood party. It turned out well, because they had pizza & other snacks. Yes, MORE candy.
Here is Mia playing a game at the neighborhood party. Yes! The ball bounced in!
My little Dorothy! She was happy to wear her "Dorothy Dress".
I still had this little lion costume left from when Adam wore it long ago. Can you believe Adam wore this when he was about the same age?
I already had a Dorothy & a lion. Luckily, I was able to convince Mia to be the witch. Wicked is showing in Chicago. When we were TOT-ing Friday, a couple of ladies thought she was the cutest thing. "There's a little Elphaba!" - "You're our favorite witch."
Unfortunately, I was unable to persuade Adam to be a scarecrow or a tin-man. He used his "robe" from last year with a few new accesories.
Of course, we ended up with a TON of candy from TOT. We had a great time TOT-ing with our friends. Adam's friend came over & then stayed to play until late. Thanks everyone! It was fun.
