We had a great Halloween here at the Roblyer house! Even the morning light got the memo that it was Halloween! The orange and pink colors with the sun coming up was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for the holiday!
The kids had a bit of a hiccup with their costumes this year. Their school decided to have the kids dress as their favorite book characters and then the day before Halloween we received an email mandating that no street clothes were to be worn. Well, originally Chloe had planned to be Bella from the 'Twilight' series and Jordan had chosen Percy Jackson from 'The Lightening Thief'. Both of these characters wear nothing but street clothes. So Jordan changed to Harry Potter (a costume from last year) and Chloe decided to be Penelope from 'The Wanderings of Odysseus' where she used her fancy witch dress and changed it to fit the Penelope character.
Chloe also changed into a different costume to go Trick-or-Treating. She was a 70's girl where she used her spring dance costume. Jordan stuck with the Harry Potter costume.
Sadly this is Chloe's last year trick-or-treating. And we had to pull her teeth (not really), to stay with the family this year. We compromised with a deal that we would let her throw a Halloween party next year if she went around with the family. In the end she admitted that she had fun with her dad and brother trick-or-treating.
I was a little disappointed with the turn out of trick-or-treaters. I think we over prepared! We had a total of about 35 kids and we bought 2 bags of candy (one 150 piece bag of chocolate, & one 250 piece bag of assorted) Needless to say we have lots of candy left over!
