Halloween was awesome this year. It just keeps getting better and better. We started out our Halloween morning helping with Luke's classroom preschool party. That was exhausting. Getting 12 4-year-olds together on a holiday filled with candy can be a little hectic. Since Luke goes to a preschool that is next to kindergarten at an elementary school, they got to participate in the costume parade with the other kids. This was my first experience going to a costume parade. It was absolute madness. The entire elementary school children paraded around the school for over an hour!
After we finished with preschool, we came home and got to work. We decided to enclose our porch with black plastic. Our house has the perfect set up to do this. Gilbert added the spray paint with the skull. Inside our porch, we had strobe lights and a fog machine. It was hilarious the different responses we got. Some kids were far too frightened to enter, even though it really wasn't that scary inside. Others stood on our steps and used it was a back drop for their photo ops. This made us proud to have created something people wanted to document. Other kids who came in thought that they should then enter our house to see the rest of the haunted house. They were sadly mistaken, there was just a bowl of candy once you made it inside. It was a blast to create a Halloween experience for kids in our neighborhood. As always, our kids went out trick-or-treating and then had just as much fun coming back home and passing out more candy. It was another magical holiday.
