Brady is dressed as the grim reaper, Abby is a witch, and KC is a goth vampire girl. Bill decided to just be Bill this year.
Time for dessert! We made "cauldron cakes" (frosted upside-down cupcakes) and "treacle tart" (chocolate pudding mixed with cool whip served in mini graham cracker crusts).
Abby went trick-or-treating with a few friends from school.
There were 19 total, I think. Bill went with that group. Here's Abby with her good buddy Maya (the goth girl) and her friend Teresa's little sister (the pink power ranger).
Meanwhile, Brady, KC and I sat on the porch and handed out candy. Abby joined us for a photo when she got back. KC is kind of hovering over a smoking cauldron which is just out of frame.
We had a smaller crowd than last year, but we still had a good group. People liked our decorations and music (we had a cd player in the background playing horror movie theme songs) but we didn't get to really scare anyone this year because most of the groups were mixed big kids/little kids and we didn't want to spook any of the little ones. One man had to practically drag his son to our porch and told us that we had given the boy a fright two years ago that he still remembered. Oops! Guess it's better to let a few teenagers go by un-spooked than give nightmares to a 6-year old!
We all had a good time, and I haven't even started thinking about putting all those decorations away yet. In a little less than 3 weeks, we leave for our family vacation to Disney World!! I can't wait!
Take care, all, and I hope you had a wonderful Halloween!
