Spooky Season Things + Halloween 2023

Last Friday was the fall festival at Clara's school which included trunk or treat outside, bingo, pizza and popcorn and inflatable bouncy houses inside.  Brynn and Hubert came for a while before heading over to their friend's for their own Halloween party.

Clara and I had signed up for a popcorn shift, but ended up working two shifts since our replacements never showed.

It was a good turnout and fun to see all the costumes and kids Clara knows.

We were able to snag a whole pizza to bring home as they had extras. So, we settled in for "Teen Wolf" and some cheese pizza when we got home.

Brynn shared some pics with me from their party. 

Clara Jo hosted the party at her house and it sounded from Brynn like they had a lot of yummy goodies over there. I was texting with her mom the next day and she sent me this pic of one of the treats...which was edible Eddie. Ha! So fun.

On Saturday Clara was on to more festivities. She made up some ghost cookie treats to take over to a Halloween party at one of her friend's. 

We watched 'Nightmare Before Christmas' on Saturday night and then made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.

I have been enjoying the Halloween candy that I bought for no reason since we don't get any trick or treaters at our house. 

I got Brynn out on a walk with me on Sunday afternoon...

This might be why she doesn't go on walks with me anymore. 

But I redeemed myself by giving her a piggy back ride for part of the time.

Clara had also been playing outside while we were walking and came in freezing. So, Brynn made them some hot chocolate. 

Okay, my new favorite picture! 💓

And finally it was Halloween! I kept trying not to dwell on how beautiful it was last year with our warm weather.

Clara's class did some Halloween festivities at school today and they were even able to wear their costumes. Lots of great ones!

I picked Brynn and Hubert up from school today. My hands had gotten real cold!

I brought Clara into my office for some treats there. Pam dressed up as a deer. It was great!

First stop was Barb's house.

Brynn and Hubert went to a friend's house for a get together there and we somehow ended up trick or treating at the house they were at. haha. I guess I knew what neighborhood they were in, but didn't know which house it was so that was a fun surprise.

We went to a few more houses and called it good. Clara had pretty well filled up her bucket by that time and we were getting cold.

Happy Halloween!
