A knew what she wanted to be ever since we went to the Renaissance Festival - a Noble Lady from the Middle Ages. We have been studying the Middle Ages in school this year and A has been enjoying learning about the lives of people who lived so very long ago.
M liked the costume I found for him as soon as he saw it. He loves to goof around and make people laugh so this funny costume was perfect for him. The nose blinked on and off just like it does in the board game, Operation, on which the costume was based. He felt very good about himself after trick-or-treating. He told me that he made many adults laugh out loud at his costume and he received many compliments about what a great costume he was wearing.
D was the hardest of all three for which to find a costume. D enjoys simple costumes that are comfortable. He was a train conductor for several years in a row when he was younger, then he was a fireman for the past two years. Finally, he found a scary monster costume that was just a hoody and he liked that. He has already asked if he can wear his scary monster hoody costume again next year.
Following tradition, the children went to Grandma J's house for trick-or-treating. A decided that she didn't want to trick-or-treat this year so she prepared a big basket of candy to hand out beside her Grandma. She was very happy that many little girls told her how beautiful she looked in her dress.The older I get the more the words of my mom ring true in my ears - holidays ARE what you make of them.
