Trick or Treating 2019

This year we completely got gypped of fall.  Needless to say, I was NOT happy about that.  The leaves were just barely turning and then we got 3 inches of snow!  On Halloween!  Not cool.  Once the snow melted, the leaves were still on the trees--but they had all just gone brown.

The chilly temperatures, icy winds, and very wet and heavy snow made being outside pretty miserable--so we had to make a Plan B for Trick-or-Treating.  Mixing things up a bit was a little easier because [SPOILER ALERT!]

Grammy and Pappy Woodhouse were in town!  We decided to do indoor trick-or-treating to use up all the candy we had on hand to pass out to those who now wouldn't be showing up on our doorstep.

The kids were a little skeptical at first, but they understood that they would be getting candy so they played along.

Each grown-up waited behind a closed bedroom door and listened for the call of "Trick-or-Treat"!

Once they knocked on all the doors, I kept telling them that they missed a door, and led them over to the bedroom they had visited first.  I finally convinced them that we had not come to this door so they knocked and called out and sure enough, someone different answered! 

Each grown-up had 3 wigs to change things up and let me tell you, Grammy and Pappy hammed it up!

The expressions on the girls faces were priceless

just like this picture of Pappy with a Cabbage Patch Doll wig on!

Everyone was such a good sport about this--we made wonderful memories, had a ton of fun, and got a pretty amazing stash of candy, too!
