Covid-ween

What a weird year this has been. 

We had lots of Halloween and yet, a subdued Halloween. 

Jon made this awesome creepy guy. Full of expression. 

He makes me laugh and feel sorry for him at the same time. 

The church down the road held a Trunk or Treat. I'm so glad to be able to invite the neighbor kids to a church event that's close by. They enjoyed the worship music too. Our church also held a trunk or treat, but we were gone that Sunday (camping). 

We also showed up at Liam's house to see how their candy chute worked. And also to get some candy. :-) 

They did a great job with it! They used a blower from a small bounce house and some pipe, and it did a fun job of getting candy from their door to the sidewalk. 

And Harrison's friend next door invited him to his dojo's trunk or treat. Harrison is a Banana Sheriff this year. I can't believe he's still wearing that banana. 

Phoebe passed out candy and Jonathan took Harrison and Entourage trick or treating. 

I went out to the main road to pass out the rest of our candy since no one comes down our cul-de-sac once all the neighbor kids go trick or treating. And it was kind of sad and dead. Far fewer homes passing out candy. Not as many cars parked on the street (we're usually a pretty hopping place for Halloween). I listened to the cicadas until my bag was almost empty. 

The kids had fun. We have plenty of candy for the family (Harrison picked out his favorites and now it's a grab bag for all of us). The kids make things fun even if the world is crazy right now. 

Dad and Jon have been resurrecting our yard. They broke up the hard dirt and planted grass. I get to see to the watering. Some grass has already grown from a previous seeding. Can't wait to see a nice green front yard!
