On Halloween I picked up Sophie from school, picked up a take-and-bake pizza, and upon our return home gave the kiddos another glow bath, followed by a Halloween video. As Neal walked in the door we was greeted by this!
Our jack-o-lantern pizza ended up looking like Freddy Krueger of horror film fame. But on Halloween--it worked!
We dabbed off the pizza sauce and dressed the kids but the neighborhood wasn't active with trick-or-treaters yet so Daddy interested them in a partial viewing of "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" until the time was right.
We stepped out and trick-or-treated a couple streets and said hello to neighbors.
We turned in early so we could be ready for the Switch Witch. What? You've never heard of the Switch Witch?! As parents and food addicts, we LOVE her! She lives on the dark side of the moon and she adores candy. She loves it more than anything else! She wants it so bad that she is willing to trade toys for candy. Every year as Halloween draws near, her candy supply becomes scarce. She swoops down on her broom looking for goodies.
After Sophie and Rhys each ate several pieces and filled a sandwich sized resealable bag, the rest of the treats were put out on the back porch in hopes that the Switch Witch would spot them and leave cool toys.
The kids were excited to see if she kept up with her end of the bargain the next morning. Apparently, she is a witch of her word! Maybe we will spot her sometime at the dollar store, as it appears that we both shop there.
Hope you all had a safe and fun and candy-filled Halloween!
