This is Halloween...in a pandemic

 Here are our Halloween-themed activities in October.

Tunk-or-Treat at the church was a very rainy affair, but they couldn't move it inside because...Corona.

Jack decided early on that he wanted to be a Greaser.  The book, "The Outsiders" had a big impact on him.  And by impact, I mean he was sobbing. And then promptly read it again.  He had me order him a faux leather jacket and a white shirt to complete the costume.  As for the hair, he practiced a couple of weeks early with pomade.  That stuff would NOT come out.  He had the greasiest hair for almost a week before I busted out the Dawn dish soap.  So, for the actual days of dressing up, I went old-school and introduced him to L.A. Looks gel and AquaNet hairspray.

Of course, we painted pumpkins.  Ellie was not interested this year (the joys of teens) so we gave her pumpkin to cousin Naomi.

Ellie didn't join us for Trick-or-Treating (beause she old), but she did have 3 friends over to watch "The Witches."  Tom and I took the boys around the neighborhood.  I*t was fun to see the many creative ways people had of delivering candy during a pandemic.

We always have to stop at Grandma's house!
