Halloween kind of snuck up on us this year. We didn't talk about costumes until late in the month, so it was going to be tough to shop. I finally talked to the kids about what they wanted to be for Halloween. In the end, their costumes didn't require any new purchases. Connor was his favorite Houston Texans player, J.J. Watt, and Kaitlynn was the Disney princess Repunzel.
These were by far the easiest costumes yet, and anyone who knows my kids would agree that they couldn't have picked any more fitting costume!

It's always difficult planning for the big night when it falls in the middle of the week. This year, we were invited to a neighborhood gathering in a nearby culdesac. All of the families gathered and enjoyed some snacks while the kids played and started to get excited about trick-or-treating. It turned out to be such a fun night and we were able to meet many of our neighbors that we hadn't met before.

When it started to get dark, the kids quickly scattered off to begin trick-or-treating. We made it around the big circle in our neighborhood, and then we decided to come home and hand out candy to the late crowd. Connor and Kaitlynn loved this part just as much as trick-or-treating!
