My sister, Cassie, and Mom found some cute kids astronaut costumes, so I decided to put together some coordinating costumes for Zak and me. I found some blue coveralls online, as well as some NASA and Discovery mission patches. Our mission had the raddest patch. Smith & Edwards, a military surplus store, carried flag patches, and I painted our name badges on some patch fabric. The kids' costumes were especially helpful for being outside, with the warm layers.
Earlier in the week, we went to Grandma's and our church carnivals. Halloween morning I took the kids to the Family and Information Resource Center, where Miss V played games and put together the Paw Patrol puzzle. We did the Halloween tour of the local Associated Foods Store, did a last-minute trunk-or-treat. I took Miss V out afterward to a few neighborhood houses. She mostly wanted to stop and play with the kids. It felt kind of weird to take her out after dark (even though it was about 7:00). She loved carrying around the Halloween kids' meal bucket she got from our friend. We've used her candy as a post-potty reward.
