Halloween 2025

Nana Jana brought it to my attention that there were no Halloween pictures on the blog. I've been sick basically since Halloween & it slipped through the cracks (though I did think I'd already posted it!) Sam and I went hi-vis again, though I just stayed home and passed out candy. I wore the light-up earrings to work (you can see my library shoes). 

Jim was Betelgeuse, of course. (That's the spelling! He proved it to me! Then he wore this whole ridiculous get up to school all day - including Band & PE.)  

Amelie was Cyn from the webseries Murderbots that she watches. She chopped up part of an old witch costume (2022 post). She didn’t start working on it til after school on Halloween but it all came together. 

Leah was Potato, the black cat from the book Sparks (who our dog Spark is named after.) She carved her pumpkin to be Potato cat as well - and check out the candy bag. 

Group photo!

I didn't count, but we got a whole ton of trick-or-treaters & the kids came back with a whole ton of candy.

Leah got a fair amount of mileage out of her costume both before & after Halloween. She misplaced the collar & then it fell out of the couch when we were moving furniture & she was quite pleased. 

Here's the link to last year.
