Halloween Covid Edition
How was everyone's Halloweens? We are big on Halloween.. it's the one holiday we properly celebrate.. we host a party every year.. here's last years shenanigan's. We dress up.. nothing over the top but we do a little something.. we decorate the house.. go trick or treating..
They had their virtual parties on Zoom. It a good thing kids are easy to please.
We decorated the outside of the house.. we add a little every year. Its a mix of store bought and DIY. The bats and black webs are hand cut
We opted against Trick or Treating.. but a neighbor invited the kids over for an outdoor magic show so we went.
This year everything was a little different.. no party for one. :(
While the kids are going to school in person for a couple of days a week the school decided that Halloween would be celebrated on the day everyone is virtual. I convinced the boys to opt for low key costumes.. we bought these scar tattoos from Target last year for M's costume and had plenty to spare add a knife through the head and voila.

All the parents handed out goody bags for the kids.. and the host had scattered bags of candy in their backyard.. and we came home with far more candy then we had expected.
We too had set up a candy table for our trick or treaters.. When we came back we had two little candies remaining.. I restocked the table for the night time trick or treaters but no one else came..
All in all not really a bad Halloween.
Looks like fun! Love the costumes.

Great costumes, boys!
ReplyDeleteeven though this virus has turned our world upside down and frayed our nerves, I am delighted to see your happy boys dressed up for Halloween and scoring an epic candy haul! Just think of all the candy you can sneak a piece from now til Christmas?!
ReplyDeleteI loved your house. I noticed too what pretty grass you have! A virtual Halloween I hadn't heard of that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to do it. It looked like fun.
Sounds like a pretty good one all around. The costumes were great and your house looked good and spooky-ish! That magic show sounded like a great option. We put our treats out but only 3 were taken. We never get many trick or treaters as it is.
ReplyDeleteI love all your decorations and the knives in the head are great!! Even though we don't do much celebrating anymore (haven't had trick-or-treaters in our rural location for decades!), I still love the holiday and all that goes with it. Thanks for sharing yours with us. Sounds like it was fun, despite everything going on.
ReplyDeleteHalloween wasn't originally a thing here in Belgium and has only started to trickle over from you guys in the last decade or so. So, it's not as big here and mainly for kids, who sometimes come trick or treating.
ReplyDeleteThe scar tattoos and knives are brilliant as are your home decorations!
Things might have been a bit different this year, but it seems it was still fun, which is the main thing! xxx
Zombies! What fun. It looks like a wonderful time was had by all!
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun Halloween!
Looks perfect.
Love your family costumes! We went trick or treating but our neighborhood just had goodie bags set out so there was no interacting. My kids still had fun though!
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes and your house, Hena.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun Halloween!
Amazing costumes and I am glad that you found a way to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThese costumes look amazing! It seems you had a wonderful Halloween.

For a low-key Halloween, I have to say I'm impressed with the costume!

You did such a great job! You all were a scary bunch, and it looks like fun was had by all.
ReplyDeleteHalloween definitely looked different this year. But I love your costumes and the decorations that you guys did!
ReplyDeleteAn outdoor magic show sounds fun! My daughter has to quarantine right now due to exposure, sooo we stayed in for Halloween! :(

ReplyDeleteLove the family photo!
sounds like a fun and more importantly "safe" halloween!! the family costumes were great!!!
ReplyDeleteThe costumes look so fun and it's nice you were able to get out and have a party with your neighbours :) We don't really do Halloween or trick or treating here so we didn't notice the difference this year, haha!
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a lovely day :)

Ah yes we did not get one trick or treater. We put out bags of candy separately but no one came. But this costumes are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI apologize for the delay I lost my mom.

Your kids are adorable. It is great that you were still able to celebrate Halloween even if it was different this year because of the restriction. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, fun Halloween times! You even dressed up, the boys must have enjoyed that. Wait until your sons ask to get real tattoos haha. Our son was almost 18 when he asked to get his first one. And since he had to have our permission, I was thankful he wanted to get a Cross on his shoulder. : )

Oh, it looks like you and the boys had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you and your family really made the best of Halloween even with COVID. An outdoor magic show sounds like fun too. I wish someone had done something like that in my neighborhood for the kids.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, love, love their costumes. Saw them in the summary preview on Bloglovin and LOL'd.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You guys look so cute! Great costumes!
