Halloween 2018

This year the kids were told to pick from the huge collection of costumes already in their playroom or closets for Halloween. They had fun deciding what they were going to be and had a tough time picking only one costume (so Pudge and Pequeño both ended up changing up their costumes between school and trick or treating).

School Parade:

Pequeño wanted to be a cat (he wore the Cat in the Hat costume and added a cat ear headband)

Pudge was an astronaut.... I was trying to figure out what was in his mouth and then he showed us...

The teacher had given the class glow in the dark vampire teeth so he had decided to make it a scary astronaut.

Middle school doesn’t wear costumes or have a parade.

That night, they were all excited to go trick or treating.

Little Bear was a soccer ref (he had a yellow card and a red card to hold up), Pudge was a vampire, Pequeño was The Cat in the Hat, and Cuatro was a giraffe.

Cuatro has to be bribed with a small lollipop to keep the hood up on his costume but he quickly forgot about it.

Titi C and her pup went with us too! They were Boo and Sully. 

Tio C joined us towards the end of the night and both Titi and Tio stayed over. 

Everyone had a fun time trick or treating and we had a lot of laughs when people thought that Titi C was one of our children. One person thought she was 12/13 years old (she was actually 27). 

We made it home before the rain started and the kids ran to the library to look through the candy and make trades. They all received SO MUCH CANDY. They all gave some to Tio C and were able to eat some, pack a ziplock bag of the ones they really wanted, and then the rest were put into a big container. 

Some of Little Bear’s candy (he had more in another zipper of that bag still)

Pudge’s candy (Cuatro for a few things from each brother but we didn’t have him get candy while walking around because he was happy to have one lollipop the entire time and wave at all the neighbors)

Pequeño’s candy

The next morning, Abuelo and Abuela came down to spend the day with us. Little Bear was supposed to have a soccer game but it was cancelled due to rain so we spent the day relaxing at the house which was nice.

The kids ran around with Stella, played with Tio C and Titi C, read with Abuela, and played pool with Abuelo.

There was a Penn State game on so of course that’s how we spent the evening. 

*Our area celebrates Halloween on the Friday before the actual date.
