Halloween: Blogette 3

So Halloween in Chapel Hill is supposed to be next level.  Streets packed with costumed crazies and all kinds of mischief.  Maybe one day we'll experience that, but with our 4 and 1.5 y/o kiddos, we decided to take a tamer path.  Carter made a move away from the animal theme costumes and went as Batman.  It was a psuedo homeade with the cape and suit made by daddy's sweatshop.  Owen went green  by recycling C's Monkey from a few years back but made it his own.

Our prep wasn't the usual and impacted the pumpkin carving output.  Next year I promise not to buy another fixer upper house a month before, spend most of my free time working on it, and get on the pumpkins sooner.

Trick or Treat:  The weather was pretty nasty, cold and rainy so after getting a call from a neighbor we hit the mall (I know sounds lame) but was fun b/c C got to hang with their twin 3yos and we got to see thousands of other parents that had no Halloween gusto with their costumed kiddies.  We (C & Daddy) hit about 10-15 houses after Ms. Schwangston and O headed for some shelter.  ToTing is great as a new guy in the neighborhood, b/c you can just stroll up to your new neighbors check out their houses up close, and your kid gets candy = GREATNESS.  C got a mess of candy which he dumped and picked out the two or three treats to eat that night.  Since then Ms. Schwangston has been "repurposing" his candy - she claims he doesn't miss it, but I'm not going to ask.
