For the third year in a row we had terrible, horrible, no-good, crappy weather for Halloween. Earlier in the week we wore shorts, by Saturday it was snowing. Awful. But Halloween came anyway and with it, Trick or Treat.
This year Max was invited to go begging with his friend Bret in Centerville, which was nice since we are new to this neighborhood and haven't met anyone with kids since we are all the way down here on our own in the new section. We went early for dinner and left late with pounds of candy… and we froze.
Max found his costume online this year; he was a blue inflatable morph. It was the most bizarre and hilarious thing ever. It was a plastic suit (people asked if it was an "ebola suit"… come on!) with a nylon mask, gloves and shoe coverings (which he couldn't wear because it was pouring rain). Inside the suit was a little fan. You hooked up a battery pack to the fan, clipped that pack on your belt, and away you went! It was like those blow up things people put in their yard for Christmas or the Buckeyes games… you know, like a big Santa or Brutus Buckeye. ;)
We also got Flip a costume. He was a lion and it suited him so well. But he wouldn't leave it on for more than a few minutes plus it was too rainy for him to go out with us so we took a few pics then let him be.
Max and Bret cleaned up at all the neighbors houses! Hardly any kids were out. We chalk that up to bad weather and a big high school football night (Springboro vs Lebanon and Centerville vs Wayne). No one was home!
More candy for Max then… or should I say for me? He never touches it and I dig through it all day long. Dangit. Here are several photos from the night. The running shots of Max make me laugh.
