It's Halloween and we woke up to rain and forecast of....more rain! Braving the weather, we headed to the mall for trick-or-treating and face painting. (We have Beth as a "sort of princess," Adam as Spiderman, Jason as a clone trooper and Jill as a princess). 
Macy's was a big let down - no trick or treating and below average face painting (I'm such a critic but seriously - what is on Adam's cheek because I don't see a whale, and Jason couldn't get a bat like he wanted because they didn't have black - no black on Halloween!?!) 
but we smiled and moved on...For our afternoon adventure we hit the grocery store (another indoor venue :) This was a much more impressive stop. A baker was decorating cookies to order (we got a bat, a dog, and a fish). 
There were games to play all over the store (and I got shopping done!)
Our day finished off with classic door to door trick or treating with our cousins. We have: 
a cat, transformer, control freak (can you see the remote controls dangling from him?), wolf (mascot), Indian princess, princess, camp rock girl, and a bat (not pictured is Nemo who was waking up from his late afternoon nap).
Lots of fun to be had but maybe too much for Jill...she did not like the face paint and masks. 
The end of the day and each kid has too much candy, got to wear two costumes, and attended three events...not bad for a rainy Halloween!
