Forty-seven years!  That\u2019s how long it took me to come up with my favorite Halloween costume.  If I was alive in the 60\u2019s this would have totally been my vibe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tova thew an epic adult only neighborhood party.  I knew she would go above and beyond, but even so she exceeded my expectations from the massive sweet to savory food spread and the elaborate themed decorations and libations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I imagine this party will be an annual tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween was the day after the adult party.  Not only did it fall on a Saturday, but also it was the night we set our clocks back and hour.  The weather was perfect all day and the evening was crisp but not cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neighborhood kids came out in full force.  The 6:00 neighborhood picture on Adams Hill meant that the trick or treating at our house occurred mostly early in the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harper had two friends come over, Leelya and Ellis, and they were Piglet, Tiger, and Winnie the Pooh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerson and Cora decided to watch scary movies together instead of trick-or-treating, but they did walk around the neighborhood some filling their pockets as they walked by the candy that neighbors left at the end of driveways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avery was in demand with the littles and she spent some time walking around with Caroline before doing a quick costume change from a professional dancer to a Kit Kat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no school the next day, an extra hour of sleep promised, and perfect weather, there was no rush to come home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
