We have been in a rain cloud for the past two weeks. Such is life in Vancouver, BC.
But after school today, as we walked the kids home from school, the rain tapered off to a mist. So, before we layered up the girls faces with their witch makeup, Olivia, Sophia, Julia and I ran outside to grab some witch photos in a neighbour’s yard. (When I asked permission to shoot in their yard, the neighbours were so thrilled with the girls’ adorable costumes they stayed out to watch our little photo shoot and even brought out three bagfuls of candy for them. It was so fun!)
By the time we started trick or treating, the rain was pouring down. But our kids were troupers and filled their bags nonetheless.
How was your Halloween??? Did you post photos?
