What a day. Wow. SUGAR OVERLOAD. Out we went in to the craziness of Trick or Treating in a business district. We had to empty the pumpkin almost 2 times, it was getting so heavy! SHEESH.
It was an unbelievable haul.
Then we had to get ready for part 2.
Iz was a butterfly, I was a flower and Superman was Superman.
So many doors, so little time.
Iz went through her stash and got her goods prepped for the Halloween Monster. See, the Halloween Monster takes your extra candy so you can Trick or Treat next Halloween. If you don’t leave her any candy, she won’t let Halloween happen next year. But don’t worry, Iz has quite the stash.
Friday night was delightful. When Iz woke up Friday morning I told her it was Halloween, and after school, she could put on her costume and we’d go Treating, so she declared during morning circle that today, after school Halloween starts!
Dressed in a lovely butterfly costume, we headed to Columbia City, where the lovely local shops were handing out candy. At Retroactive Kids, Bellen Drake was photographing the kids. I just love the shots, and I can’t wait to see them. You can see more of her beautiful work on her web site. (I wonder if they’ll be doing this for Christmas? hmmm)
Iz was so delighted, she munched on a few pieces in the back seat while we left Columbia City and headed for West Seattle.
We had a sweet evening, with not a lot of sugar consumption. The Halloween Monster (she’s friendly, don’t worry), did come last night and took some of the candy. We leave her some of the treats so we can trick -or-treat next year. The rest will be rationed off, and probably forgotten about in a few days.
