Actually the weather wasn’t very cooperative for Halloween Trick or Treating tonight. We’ve had a steady drizzle all day and evening, and it’s chilly. In Chicago, it was worse. They had hail and rain. After three houses, Caleb announced he was “Done!” Fortunately, they didn’t spend any money getting him ready this year as he was able to wear the dinosaur costume I made for Matt over 20 years ago! Here he is a couple weeks ago trying it out.
And practicing his roar.
I don’t know how Skylar enjoyed Halloween. We went down while she was getting into her costume. She wanted to be Elsa from Frozen (no surprise!), and she seemed pretty happy about getting out to go trick or treating.
She was off to visit her other grandpa before heading out, and we came home to welcome the few trick or treaters that braved the rain. We had some really cute ones, but not very many.
I made a couple Halloween cards a while back and sent one to Caleb and one to Skylar.
The first one uses some stamps and dies from Papertrey’s Friendship Jar: Fall Fillers as well as some border stickers I’ve had in my stash for a long time. Not sure who made them. The same is true for the stickers (same set) on the next card.
Since I have a very limited selection of Halloween stamps, both cards were the same inside with images from the Friendship Jar: Fall Fillers set.
I must admit Halloween has never been a favorite holiday, but I do enjoy seeing my grandchildren in their costumes!
My grandaughter is very into Frozen as well.
Weather was perfect here…..but we had very few trick or treaters….it’s just not a big thing round our way.
I love the idea of you being able to use a costume you made all those years ago. (And what a gorgeous costume it is!)
Halloween has always been big here, but Trick or Treating is just starting to catch on. We had about 50 callers this year which was a record and a lot of fun
Such cute grandkids! We don’t really do Halloween, but Robbie had a stressful week & I planned us a FUN evening. I picked up a Jack-O-Lantern pizze & orange cookie day, set up my pumpkin lights in the living room, and we watched the first Harry Potter movie. It was FUN!
Caleb looks so cute! We only had 3 groups of trick-or-treaters this year. A total of about 15 or so, which is a record low (we’ve had years of 100+). I think this neighborhood is all grown up now.
Oh my gosh that’s so cool that Caleb could wear Matt’s dinosaur costume! I love that. Both of the kids look so cute, and your cards are adorable too. Shame that the weather was poor. It was beautiful here, but we only had one little boy ring our doorbell the entire night.
