Well, it was a little rainy here for Halloween, but that didn't stop the fun! The festivities started with a potluck soup dinner at a neighbors, before the official trick-or-treat hours. Rowan was aghast that there was trick or treating only from 5-8:30, but that's life on a military base!
Gryphon was a werewolf this year, but the mask smelled yucky so she rarely wore it. Yes, its a sad milestone: she was NOT Harry Potter!
Rowan was a southern belle. She had admired the costume last year but they didn't have her size, so this year we ordered it online. Of course, she had to have a wig.
Gryphon went trick or treating alone with her friend Sidney, which was another big milestone. Sniff, sniff, my baby is growing up so fast! Then they went to a Halloween party before coming back here for a sleepover and to divide up the loot.
Mark and I traded off passing out candy to the hundreds of kids who came around (seriously, more than I have seen anywhere, ever!!) and taking Rowan and various other little girls around the neighborhoods. Amazingly, Rowan decided she was done at around 7 and she and 2 friends came back and handed out candy. Yes, she is actually not feeling good, because that is really weird for her!
It was a good Halloween, one of the funnest parts was meeting so many Korean kids who were trick or treating for the first time. Its nice to live on post and still have that little slice of America, especially on holidays!
Happy Halloween!!
