It was a busy busy Saturday. My dad and I signed up to be vendors at a craft fair held by Jameson's school. My dad sold paracord bracelets and I crocheted pumpkins and leaf coasters.
We were modestly successful. The craft fair seemed very busy; we had lots of shoppers stop at our table. I sold all my coasters (which really surprised me) and a good number of pumpkins. Enough that after accounting for all the yarn I bought I profited about $50. That said, I don't think we will be going into the craft fair business.
While we were busy selling, Nate took Evelyn and Jameson to ballet and then to Millie's birthday party. He came by school to see how things were going before taking the kids home in order to rest a little before trick-o-treating.
Sarah, Harper, Willow, and Violet came over to our neighborhood for trick-o-treating which was lots of fun for everyone. We had Captain America, Anna, Elsa, Minnie Mouse and Tinkerbell.
I wasn't going to wear my Elsa costume. I was tired from the craft fair and it was cold outside, but Nate said he was going to dress up in his biking kit, so I changed my mind. I do love dressing up for Halloween.
Super cute Violet.
The big kids.
One amazing house was giving out hot dogs and that's where we saw Evelyn's bus stop friend McKenzie.
A little bit later, Willow started to get cold and tired so Nate kept going with Evelyn, Jameson, and Harper while Sarah and I turned back toward the house with Violet and Willow. I carried Willow for a bit which helped her perk up so we were able to stop by a few extra houses. Back home I wanted a picture of the two Elsas.
Once back home, the kids helped my dad hand out candy. Jameson lasted outside the longest. We had 84 trick-or-treaters. It was a long day, but a fun day.
