So, the freak snowstorm we had last week really messed up a lot of stuff. One of the things it messed up was Halloween. No one had power, and it wasn’t safe for anyone to walk around in the dark. Lots of down power lines and trees blocking streets and sidewalks. The town urged everyone to stay home and skip trick or treating. The kids were so upset. This is the first time I can ever remember anything like that happening. So, off to a hotel we went and tried to make the best of a bad situation.
Our hotel had car service to Foxwoods, so that’s where Chloe did her trick or treating, and some of us lost some cash. We had fun but it wasn’t the same as running around the neighborhood with your friends.
So that brings us to last night. Chloe was able to dress up as Sleeping Beauty for a second time! Jake was a character from the Hunger Games, but he was out with his friends and I couldn’t get a picture. That kid cracks me up!
The kids ran around the neighborhood and had a blast trick or treating with their friends. Kevin packed up the beer and headed out with a bunch of the parents and I stayed in and passed out the candy and made Baked Ziti for dinner. As much as I am happy they were able to go out, this feels like the longest Halloween ever. I am very happy to finally take down our decorations and stop eating massive amounts of candy. I’m ready to move on and put the storm and this dragged out Halloween behind us.
Happy Halloween! Hope yours was awesome!
