I wasn't sure what Halloween would look like this year, but for the most part, Halloween itself was fairly normal. Our kids and most of the kids in our neighborhood still dressed up and went trick-or-treating. This year we had:
Albert Einstein:
Hercules the dog from the movie, "The Sandlot":
Buddy the Elf:
and a beautiful butterfly!
Sean and I even dressed up together this year as White Goodman and Fran Stalinoskovitchdavidovitchsky from the movie Dodgeball! haha
Charlie was a good sport as Snoopy!
This year was a little different at school, in that the Halloween parade was done virtually, and class parties were done by the teachers instead of parent volunteers. The kids were excited getting dressed up for school that morning!
Our neighborhood did its own little Halloween parade in the park by our house, since the school one was virtual. We all lined up in a circle in the park and the kids walked around showing off their costumes.
All of the kids went trick or treating with friends.
I loved Bode and his friends' themed costume of 'The Sandlot' this year!
These two have trick or treated together since they were babies!
The kids all came home and sorted out their candy. They were all happy with their haul! Jackson and Bode took trick or treating very seriously and both got a TON of candy. They weighed it and they both got the same exact number 8.3 lbs!
Halloween this year felt like a gift of almost normalcy for one night. It was nice to celebrate and have fun and mostly forget the cares of the world. I am grateful we were able to still celebrate in some of our traditional ways.
