This year Halloween came on a Wednesday, two days after Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast. Luckily, we didn't sustain much damage, just two shingles blew off the roof. When the Hurricane hit Ben was back in Hawaii for work and fighting his own natural disaster. A tsunami hit while he was there and he couldn't get to his hotel and so he had to ride it out in the mountains in his rental car. Fortunately, it wasn't too serious and it didn't cause any damage. So, with all of the craziness going on, Halloween seemed to sneak up on me. I had a lot of candy because I had heard that our new neighborhood was a pretty hot spot for trick or treaters but I didn't really have costumes ready for the kids. Luckily, we have plenty of dress-ups and friends with plenty of dress-ups and so the kids were able to find costumes that made them happy.
Cindrella/Princess Chloe
Unfortunately, she lost her crown while we were trick or treating but we didn't notice until we were going home.
Skeleton Ninja, minus the mask because he didn't like wearing it.
The Mad Hatter, who freaked out way too many small children on purpose.
Batman.
He would only respond to Batman that night.
It was a great night. The kids all got lots of candy and the seven bags of candy that I bought was all given out.
