Just keep trick or treating… just keep trick or treating…

Is there anything better than a group costume? As you might have noticed from F’s birthday, she’s a bit obsessed with fishies and the Finding Nemo/Dory movies. So it didn’t take much to convince the rest of the family that we should dress up as characters from the movies.

There was no question that F gets Dory, the blue fish. I love my fuzzy nemo costume and am going to need to find a way to make this my costume every year. If you haven’t seen Finding Dory, you might not know E’s character Hank. Tom is Bruce the shark, and Gideon is either Squirt or Crush (one of the turtles).

We had two different trunk or treats we went to this year, both new to us. I know some people hate on them, but I love the fact that they’re in the day time and so much easier. It also takes the pressure off Halloween night.

Also because we had multiple costume events, the costumes were fluid - the kids changed costumes with their moods. F has the most choices since she can grab any previous costume from past years and dress however she wants. In fact she wore two different costumes just on Halloween.

We’re now all recovering (bless those teachers trying to get anything done the day after!) and eating way too much candy. I’m definitely not feeling ready to put up a tree yet, so we might just feel November for a bit.

Happy Halloween!
