  • Second Seattle Halloween

    Last Halloween, we had been in our house just over a month and the kids all got costumes the weekend before. We were slightly more organized this year, but not much.

    Veronica planned her own costume with her posse, and I never got a photo of all three kids together. Here, Carlton and Étienne try out their costumes as the Grim Reaper and Boba Fett. (I need to get a video of Étienne singing the Boba Fett Song.)

    On Thursday, the boys had Halloween parties at school and got to wear their costumes. Carl makes slime, and Étienne got his face painted by a parent since he wasn't allowed to war his mask to school.

    On Halloween night, both Veronica and Carlton went out with their friends to trick-or-treat. Godmother Jane came over to walk the neighborhood with Étienne, Steve went to play racquetball, and I stayed home to hand out candy. Étienne ready to go out, next to our Yoda jack-o-lantern (which I carved!) With the neighbor kids from both sides... four 7 & 8 year olds in three houses! Ava: "Wait, let me put on my tail!"

    Veronica's posse stopped by and emptied out about 1/3 of the candy bowl.

    Happy Halloween! Can you believe it's already November?
