Although all of our kids have been alive for previous Halloweens, this is the first time we've actually let them know anything about what is going on. Evelyn has always been so sensitive, that we've had to go to extra measures to protect her.
But this year we built up the costumes and trick-or-treating for weeks beforehand. By the time Halloween day got here, they were so excited they could hardly contain themselves! Costumes and candy and face-painting, OH MY!!!
We took them around the neighborhood when it was still light out (before the spooky things started to make their rounds!), and they were beyond adorable as they ran from house to house. At the first 3 houses, no one was home... but the kids were still having so much fun running around in costumes that Evelyn was prompted to say, "This is a hundred-thousand-FUN!"
