The kids and Will all rate Halloween very high on their favorite holiday list. This is a question that Meli ask us a lot. I never thought too much about this holiday but have grown to enjoy it more, especially with how much the family gets into it. She seems amazed that it does not make my top 3.
Meli has been asking about Halloween since September 1st! That is a long time to talk about the holiday. I made her wait until October 1st to put up any decorations. She was planning her costume since July. Needless to say, we were ready for the holiday to be over.
She ended up being two things: Foxy from the Five Nights at Freddy's game and then a skeleton.
This was for a Halloween party at school.
This was the weekend before. Colin went to a friend's party, so Will and I took Meli out to dinner like this.
Then this was for actual Halloween. Trick-or-treat!
Colin went with as a gargoyle. His costume could be pretty creepy. I would come home from work and he would be in the corner posed perfectly still. I would see something out of the corner of my eye. It was spooky!
Very last minute, I noticed that all of our costumes had a similar fantasy theme. I told Colin that I could be an evil sorceress that created him (gargoyle) and raised Meli (skeleton) from the dead. Then Will was a ranger (D&D) that was traveling with us on some mission. Colin really got into it! He added that Meli and him would only listen to me since I created them.
I had to cast a spell when they were going with Will to go trick-or-treating and I stayed behind to pass out candy. That was funny. Dressing up in general takes me out of my comfort zone. I have become more comfortable with it over the last few years, but getting into character really adds to that! I am proud of myself for doing it and amazed by how much are kids help us to grow.
I used my staff that has a crystal ball at the end to cast the spell. I even made a rhyme. It was so fun! I may have been too much into the character, because I scared Meli a tad when I did the spell.

It rained a little bit in the morning but was clear by the time to start trick-or-treating. Even without the rain, my hair managed to get really frizzy sitting outside waiting for the trick-or-treaters.
