Halloween 2015: A Musketeer

HG was out of school the day before Halloween for parent-teacher conferences, so HG asked to continue her tradition of making Halloween cookies with Spiffer. They made some gooey monster eyeball cookies, which were delicious.On the morning of Halloween, HG and John celebrated Annabella’s birthday on the ice. It was pouring down rain and freezing outside (which cancelled HG’s soccer game), so we were thankful for a fun, indoor distraction.The musketeer is ready to party! (She found this costume in a magazine and never looked back.)The forecast called for a very rainy night, so HG came up with all kinds of things to do in case we were stuck inside. First up, a photo booth with props…Addie, the Cookie Monster, arrived, and the rain held off.And then the Mattice girls!HG was ready at her post for the trick or treaters. She did decide later to trick or treat a bit with Addie, but she did not let John or me go with her. She only let CB go with them. Boooo.We saw Sallie Key, the Southern Belle!Playing pin the sticker on the skeletonHG’s rules stated you could aim for these areas…And Elijah was a big fan of HG and let her carry him around.Lawson and Rowan came by for late night!HG retired to her pjs by 8:00, and then the delirium set in…HG made this sign to hang by the back door.And this art project from school was perfect for the party vibes too. She actually planned on bobbing for apples and wrapping each other as mummies, but they ended up having too much fun with the other activities (and chasing the kitties). We had a great night and were so thankful the rain held off long enough for us to have some trick or treat fun!
