Happy Halloween!

 The morning of Halloween... Izzy woke up so excited saying "Happy Halloween!".  The anticipation for trick-or-treating is overwhelming.  This year the kid's school decided to not allow costumes citing the main reason is for inclusion of everyone who doesn't celebrate this holiday.  But that didn't stop us nor many others from finding a way to show our Halloween spirit!

 We started talking about our costumes in September.  This year Victoria wanted to be a unicorn.  I thought it only fitting that we acquiesced to this request as we dressed up in superheroes/villains last year when Micah wanted to be Batman.  The challenge was finding a theme that incorporated a unicorn.  In the recesses of my mind the 1986 movie Legend popped up.  We therefore rented it so everyone knew the story.  Then it was up to each of us to decide which character they wanted to be.

 Though there were a few challenges in finishing details that didn't go right, we pulled off a pretty good version of Legend.  John was the Lord of Darkness (one of my favorite Tim Curry characters), I was Oona (fairy), Izzy was Black Lily and Micah was Jack.  I learned how to scale maille to create his armor.  This is definitely a keep sake article.

 Micah and our neighbor, Fox.  These two love hanging out together whenever they have a chance.

 Not sure who this guy is but appreciated the time taken to create this costume.

 A+ for creativity

 While trick-or-treating we ran into Micah & Victoria's old LCSH classmates, Jace.

 Trick-or-treating is always fun on Brook Street.  The street is blocked to prevent cars from driving which is great for safety.  But the houses really get into the Halloween spirit.  This then leads to exciting costumes.  This is certainly a people watching opportunity.
