We went to the SERC Institute just down the road on Saturday to learn about creepy, crawly bugs, coyotes, moles, owls, bats and snakes for their annual Halloween celebration. Soren and I felt right at home with the scientists dressed up as anatomically correct ash borer beetles, owls and more. It was a lovely way to calm the anticipation, dress in costume and go for a hike along the ocean. This afternoon all the sweet businesses in town invite trick or treaters to come through and grab a treat, it was a perfect way to go last year and I was excited to do it again this year. Safe, fun and full of kids in their costumes!
Kasper has been asking to be a hammerhead shark for the past month, I shamefully put him off of it because I had no idea how to make it! Then Saturday morning (three hours before SERC), I sat down and whipped up his costume... Needless to say it was a hit at SERC, their school parade and out on the town - he and I were more than a bit embarrassed by all the attention! AnaSofia wanted to be a flower fairy and make her own costume from the dress up box. She looked so sweet. Love that creative mind...
And the school parade? Perfection... I have no photos because it is discouraged to take photos and rather allow the child to BE in the moment, but I was struck by the inventiveness of all the students. Not many families watch television at our school so it was a creative, book driven, imaginative motley crew of kids and such fun trying to guess who they were impersonating. Wishing you and yours a Happy Halloween!

Love the hammerhead shark! Islwyn was a hit in his homemade hammerhead shark costume as well. With multiple people saying it was the best costume they had ever seen. Of course he was super embarrassed then!
