So. Yeah. As previously discussed, 2020 has pretty much sucked donkey balls.
Suck it with the censorship Facebook 🤬🤬🤬
And the one thing my kiddos really look forward to is Halloween. And, this year? No. Just no.
We could go Trick or Treating, Melrose hasn’t banned it
Which I personally consider batshit but even Salem only cut back rather than completely stopped things…
But that just seems like asking for trouble. We’ve managed to stay safe this far, to the best of our knowledge, so no on ToT.
However we kept Halloween traditional up to a point.
Today we have:
Watched Spooky Movies
- Paranorman
- The Witches (1990 with Anjelica Hutson not 2020 with Anne Hathaway)
- Kiki’s Delivery Service
We thought we had done quite well on TT (as she is a huge Goth – even at age 4!) and has already watched, and loved so many scary films.
No, seriously, Labyrinth and Goosebumps 2 are her current best things ever
But at bedtime she fell asleep then woke up scared of zombies and Bad witches. Damn. Well, it’s a good thing we put The Addams Family off I reckon.
Eaten Holiday Food
Mealtimes were fluid and we just kept food flowing in a mixture of:
- Hot Dogs
- Popcorn
- Smores
As you can see, TT demanded an apple around 4pm so that was good 😂🤣
Worn our costumes
Well the kiddos did at least.
I did mention my daughter was a massive Goth yes? We therefore let her “borrow” some of my makeup:
She felt that purple glittery lipstick and black glittery eyeshadow finished off her “spooky bat” outfit rather well. She was happy, so I didn’t disagree god love her 💜💜💜
Here is #1 Son drawing his own design:
Here is TT’s initial design and through to completion:
And here they both are in pride of place on the front stoop:
They are still there! I’m genuinely shocked that neither squirrels nor trash pandas have nabbed or destroyed them!
So, 2020 hasn’t taken everything from us. And we are still here and happy.
TT has declared that
This is the best Halloween ever
So I’ll take that. Right now? I’ll take that.
