Just like everything else this year, Halloween looked different. No costumes, no trick-or-treating, and no passing out candy. However, even the kids agreed with me that this was the best Halloween yet! The big kids went on a treasure hunt for their candy, with clues spread throughout the house. Eric and I were astounded at how terrible they were at finding the clues when the things were right in front of their faces, but it made for some good laughs and lots of fun. They got a big bag full of treats and we snuggled up on the couch and allowed them to eat as much candy as they wanted while we watched Casper the Friendly Ghost. We all loved it. When the movie was finished, we decided to pay a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house to pick up some Halloween treats. We needed to stay distant, as Grandma recently tested positive for corona virus, but it was still fun to see each other's faces from the other side of the window. When we got home, we made our spooky dinner. We made shrunken head punch (carved, peeled apples), eyeball spaghetti, spider Caesar salad, mummy garlic bread, and chocolate covered pretzels with lots of sprinkles. It was so fun and no frozen kids and parents running up and down the street in the dark! I'd do it this way every year if it was completely up to me, but we'll see what next year brings! Happy Halloween!
