Halloween 2008

Halloween was absolutely perfect this year! It had rained for most of the day (after a completely dry week!) and so I thought 'ohhh snap, this won't be good'. However, by 4 o'clock that afternoon when I went to pick Paige up from school, it had not only stopped raining, but there was a rainbow in the sky! It didn't rain again until Saturday! And, it was just chilly enough that you knew it was 'fall' but warm enough that none of the kids had to wear coats....a perfect Halloween! I took the kids on base to Trick or Treat. It is very safe...security drives around as well as sending marines out walking around to keep things safe. The streets basically shut down for a few hours and so traffic is non existent. Everyone decorates their homes and gets into the 'spirit', and it gives all the kids a really great "Halloween experience". Paige wanted to be an Owl this year, and Ben a mummy. I got creative and actually MADE both costumes! YAY for me....
