Unfortunately, the worst weather forecast you could have on Halloween - rain - happened. Bummer. Oh, and the entire neighborhood lost power at 4pm during the hectic-ness of all of us getting dressed, accessorized, eating dinner and waiting for friends to arrive. Is this really happening, we thought?? We have to trick-or-treat in the dark? Finish getting ready in the dark? Wow, this is going to be interesting, and different! Luckily, after we started down the road, and about two hours after the power went out, it came back on. Yea party on! The rain didn't slow us down, and definitely not the girls. They ran in the cold and rain and we walked with the stroller and umbrellas. Khloe rode comfortably in the stroller the entire way, happily munching on chips, chocolate, and when she ran out of a piece and wanted more I ran her up to another house for another little treat. After Kayla and Addison (and some other neighborhood girls) ran all the way to the opposite end of the subdivision, they stopped, said they were cold and tired, and wanted to go home. I don't think they even stopped at another house the whole way back, they were just focused on getting home, dry and comfy ... and eating candy. And, honestly, we were too. The girls changed into warm dry clothes and the adults handed out candy on the front porch for hours more!
First, the costumes...
Some accessories
The unimpressed Peacock
Batgirl and the Peacock
Kayla wanted me to be the Mommy Peacock - which is a great idea! - but all I could pull together last minute with the help of Kristi was this nurse costume. But I did a good job administering medicine all night! I made sure everyone in the neighborhood was feeling good!
Peacock and Jasmine
This is pretty much all we saw for an hour - their backs, in a blur
Warm, dry, watching a movie, and eating candy!
