A Full Moon in October

We lucked out with the weather this year; almost 60 degrees and clear skies. Were it not for the complete pandemic disaster that is this year, 2020’s Halloween would have been amazing: Full moon, Saturday night, and beautiful crisp fall air.

We played it low-key this year. I managed to convince both boys to wear costumes that my mom had hand-made for my brother and I when we were kids. Aiden opted for a “spider” and Conner was Tigger the tiger.

Who knew that masks could actually come in so handy?

We had a delightful time regardless. We visited a couple of neighbor’s houses for candy in bowls at the end of the drive, then ended the night with a giant bonfire in the back yard with some neighbors.

Like everything this year, it’s not at all how we would have pictured it, and yet… it worked.
