The School Board canceled Trick or Treat, so we just had pizza for dinner with Halloween candy for dessert. Cilla put candy corn and and pumpkins on hers on top of the pepperoni. I put some on mine, too. Josh said, “Now we have another tradition,” and got some of the Halloween Peeps, bit off their heads and put both the heads and bodies on separate slices. I took pictures.
The grade school and middle school let the kids wear costumes. The high school didn't, but the kids all wore black and orange and appropriate accessories like cat and rabbit ears, witches' hats, and devil horns. They couldn't wear tails, though.
I went up to the attic to see if I could find any old costumes for Cilla. (Josh was a vampire, his favorite). There was an angel from a Christmas pageant, the usual witches, the wig Betsey had worn as Kim Kardashian. (Betsey had been able to wear the dress (short and black) later, as she always reminds me, although I didn't let her wear it to the Christmas Eve service). Finally, we chose the dress I'd worn as Amy the year Aunt Pooh decided to do Little Women. Fortunately for Jim, I could always fill in for him when Aunt Pooh did themes. That year, he was Boy George.
