2020 COVID Halloween

Another fun Halloween in the books for 2020... with a little COVID flair, of course. Ella and Brooklyn pulled off last minute scarecrow costumes that turned out really cute (hula skirts to the rescue for some "straw" stuffing), and went trick-or-treating together for the first time in years. Kendall, along with her bestie Victoria, dressed up as princesses and played up the part quite well together. And Hudson donned his pteredactly costume that may have been about four inches too short in the legs, but that he loves anyway. He went around the neighborhood with his buddy Sam from across the street for what will be their last Halloween together (I trailed behind). 

Our neighborhood took a survey at the beginning of October to see what people thought of trick-or-treating during a pandemic and the results were 50/50. For those who wanted to participate, they sat on their driveways to hand out candy or placed bowls for self-serve. For those who didn't want to particpate, they kept their house lights out. All trick-or-treaters were required to wear face masks and social distance. It was so fun to see our neighbors' creative ideas for candy distribution during this pandemic... candy slides, clothes lines strung with goodie bags clipped up with clothespins, and pipe slides. So grateful for those who helped make this Halloween another great one for our kiddos.

Ryan got stuck on candy duty, and boy was it cold. I was freezing walking around with the kids but at least I was moving. Poor guy...

Hudson found a friend at one of the houses in our neighborhood...

And an amazing moon tonight to boot!!...

Glad none of the kids sampled any of their candy tonight! Yikes! Next time they should clean up the incriminating evidence...
