It snowed the day before Halloween this year. Dang it! Each kid wore two pairs of pants, a long-sleeved shirt, a fleece, and two pairs of socks. Then we put on costumes. Then on went coats, hats, and gloves. The time we slaved away on Kenley's Rapunzel wig did NOT take into account her wearing a bright rainbow colored beanie underneath it. *sigh* Oh well. Our fellow Alaskans would understand.
Very puffy children.
Traipsing to the car for Trunk-or-Treat.
The night started off well enough, though I was reminded of my days as a pseudo-single parent as I took the three kids around by myself while James helped hand out much-needed hot chocolate.
Midway through the Trunk-or-Treat, the weather deteriorated to this. Wind and snow. Oddly enough, the kids didn't complain at all, or even really mention it. They're getting to be old pros at this Alaska thing.
While James finished up with the hot chocolate, the kids ate candy and watched a movie in the van. Note all the snow on our windows accumulated in the hour or so that we were at Trunk-or-Treat.
It was definitely a memory-maker!

Those are some rocking costumes. Well done with the wig. Good job, Mom! Diggin Parker's skeleton gloves too!
