A Typical Indiana Halloween

For those of you that don't know, we live in the great state of Indiana. If you have never been to Indiana then you may not be aware of how crazy the weather can be (especially around this time of year). Last Monday it was around 75 degrees outside. Which means we rocked shorts and played outside in the leaves all day long! I can never remember there being nice weather on Halloween when I was a kid. It gave me hope that Sadie might just get a Halloween with wonderful weather!

The wind blew almost all of the leaves off of my tree. AND it began to sleet.

My dreams for a wonderful warm Halloween were quickly dashed. When Sadie and I woke up we peeked outside to see that it was rainy, cold, and WINDY. (SIDE NOTE: We live about 30 minutes from Lake Michigan and the waves there were 20 feet high.) Which meant that we ate Halloween Peep's and pancakes for breakfast. We also had a vote and ended up staying in our pajamas for majority of the day.

Chillaxin' after breakfast. She got her mind on her candy, and her candy on her mind.

We had plans to go out and visit Aunt B and all of our other friends at the SBCC until we heard about the crazy 40 mile an hour wind gusts on the news. So we stayed home and continued to be lazy. After lunch we played with the Daisy dog and watched some Halloween toons. And then we looked outside and there was almost a white out. Yes, it SNOWED! We were pretty pumped. After a quick call to the Daddy-man (his work is about 15/20 minutes south of our hood so weather is often varies) to tell him about the snow. We sat and watched it for a good 10 minutes.

Everything was dusted with snow!

Before we knew it, it was time to get ready to go trunk or treating! It was only 30 something degrees out by the time trunk or treating was suppose to start. After two layers of clothing it was time to put on the costume and take a photo!

The lone Halloween photo. It was too cold for photos outside.

I am glad with out decision to go trunk or treating at a local church, rather than the tradition door to door business. It was just way too cold for all of that! It only took about 30 minutes to hit up all of the trunks. Which was perfect Sadie was over it by then. She had a hard time moving with all of those  layers and a big ol' winter coat on. Even though it was a long and cold day it will be fun to tell her about the year she was Pebbles Flintstone and how determined we were to go trunk or treating!
