Halloween

Halloween this year was truly unlike any Halloween I've ever experienced.  The weather was incredible.  No bundling necessary, and no need for umbrellas.  Our neighborhood (which is pretty big and has a gazillion kids of all ages) literally came alive as everyone was out and about tonight.  Of course there were the trick-or-treaters.  But there were also neighbors having dinner with other neighbors in the driveways, neighbors hanging out around portable firepits, incredible decorations and an overall intense sense of community.  It was almost overwhelming!  I had been told of how great this 'hood does Halloween, but I had no idea what to expect until now! Halloween as a holiday has never been my favorite, but I can very much appreciate the efforts that so many people here go through to make tonight a fun one for everyone.

We hung out with our neighbors this evening, and the kids had a blast.  I am actually updating the blog after coming home with an exhausted Norah.  Trick-or-treaters outside are still going strong (there's no set time for TOTing here in the "Wild West"!).  Kris and the other kids are still down the street.  

I didn't get a ton of pictures, because the kids moved fast.  And it was dark.  But here are a few from the evening.

Costumes

Tonight we went to the Trunk-Or-Treat event at our school.  This is an event that our principal organizes, and all of the teachers (as well as others) participate in.  The kids loved seeing their grade level trunks and their teachers all decorated and dressed up!  I wish I had taken at least one single picture during the event, but alas, I did not.  But I snapped a few before we left.
