Well, live-blogging Halloween proved to be pretty tricky, but I did my best. It’s always a balance between bringing you all the tom-foolery of Team Hokama in a timely manner, and being in the moment with this amazing family. But here you go, the day’s log:
08:00: Aliya tries on her little bear ears at breakfast and loves them:
10:00: Maia and Sarah get her ballerina bunny costume together and Maia is so thrilled, she’s speechless and is driven to pose in a submissively adorable pose whilst showing off said costume:
13:00: Maia lays down to charge batteries for later excitement:
16:02: Maia decorates her trick-or-treat bag:
16:03: This doesn’t look “Halloweeny” but Keana does have to finish homework before we get down to business:
16:22: This isn’t Aliya’s costume but I can tell she’s ready:
16:42 pumpkin carving time!
17:00: As designed by Keana and Maia and cut by Papa:
17:12: The girls wanted to be more hands-on so they’re drawing on a pumpkin. I’m okay with that.
17:23: Mama bear and an emerging baby bear.
17:30: The finished “pen” pumpkin and eating, anxious, excited children:
17:48: Almost ready
18:00: Really almost ready to go get some bounty, but first, the obligatory porch shots. Included here are Tia, Uncle Ryan, Cousin Olivia, and Grandma.
18:00-19:00: We were out. They were cute. We got lots of candy, the girls had lots of fun, I got zero pictures. You’ll just have to trust me.
19:00-20:00: Candy eating commenced, then bedtime. And these were some tuckered out girls (even with the pre-bed sugar infusion):
21:08: Mama and Papa delicately pick through the booty.
Happy Halloween
