Lane woke up early and stated, "It's my favorite holiday today!!" She explained that she loves Halloween because she can dress up like anyone she wants to. The sweetness of a four year old excited about a holiday makes the world a better place.
The kids began the day as Alice in Wonderland, a spider, and an Angry Bird. Lane's Alice costume came from a resale shop for a couple dollars and we added accessories from our home to complete her look. I think she made a great Alice this year.
The boys had a day filled with a storybook parade, a potluck lunch, and learning activities that were Halloween based. They both had a good time. Lane helped me take in our spidery cheese and fruit skewers on a pumpkin for their spooky potluck.
At 6 pm, we went trick-or-treating with friends in our community. Lane was Rapunzel as a bride, Gabriel remained a red Angry Bird, and Alex became Iron Man. Alex turned into his character, even challenging his enemy, another child in costume, along the way. Alex also threw himself on the ground in the middle of crowds, claiming that he needed to re-energize. Even if it was exhausting to keep up with our Ironman, he ha a fantastic time and life is never dull with Alex in it.
After trick-or-treating, the kids handed candy out to follow costume clad children. When a group of beautiful middle school aged girls walked up to the door, Alex's face lit up. The first girl had long dark hair. Alex said, "you don't have to say trick-or treat, you are so beautiful, you don't need to." He also told the girls that they didn't need to say, "thank you" because beautiful girls don't need to be polite. I am unsure where he hears these things or how he comes up with them but he definitely charmed the girls on our front porch that night.
