Halloween 2022

The weekend before Halloween, poor Tay came down with Influenza A but he felt good enough for us to decorate pumpkins as a family. Tay wanted to do an "Among Us" theme - he did ALL the carving himself and Hung did a "Sus" one to go along with it. Avery and I focused on Girl Power! Avery did the sign of the Female and I did a "Pro Choice" one. I think they all turned out great. And we had lots of good pumpkin seeds to roast.

Happily, we were all finally healthy and able to enjoy Halloween! I headed to UHS for the faculty Halloween Costume Contest. 8 of us dressed as ladybugs in honor of G and her last year at school. She was totally surprised, we all teared up and G got a standing ovation from the whole student body and staff and FINALLY won after 12 years of being a lady bug.

It was a bit of a rainy/misty day but it mostly held out for trick-or-treating. Avery went around with her friend Sarah. They dressed as Eleven and Max from Stranger Things and each collected 8 lbs of candy!! After hitting our neighborhood and the one next to ours, they sorted and traded candy. It reminded me of being a kid and I loved it, 

Tay really marches to his own beat and doesn't get too excited for holidays. But he did dress up as a scary skeleton and we met up with his buddies Enzo and Nolan and we covered the whole neighborhood. That was enough for him - He poured out his candy and that was his dinner!! G, Uncle Cullen and Aunt KJ passed out candy while we walked around with Tay. After trick or treating, we had White Chicken Chili and Cornbread for dinner and took pics of Cullen and Aunt KJ to announce Baby Boy W coming in May 2023 :)

It was a successful Halloween and we now have WAY too much candy in the house!! And Bingo tolerated being a Ketchup Bottle.
