I’m so rarely trendy, but this year’s costume was modeled after the delightfully annoying fun “What Does the Fox Say” video.
To be totally truthful, my costume was an inside family joke turned trendy as a total accident. But I loved it. We took Potamus to a local church for “Trunk or Treat,” to see grandma dressed up as a farmer, and I got so many little kids asking “what does the fox say?” and I’d bust out with a little “rindingdingdingding” and do a little wiggle. Clearly Halloween was made for mature adults like me.
After that we roamed our neighborhood for a bit, stopping at some friend’s houses, and saying hi to all our neighbor kids that we knew. I loved seeing all the clever family costumes, like our neighbors the super heroes. And Potamus has a BLAST helping pass out candy to all the kids who came to the door. Though he didn’t quite get the idea that passing out candy didn’t mean that he got to have another piece of candy for every kid that came to the door. I’m pretty sure he ate like 5 mini Twix before we cut him off for the night…
All in all, Halloween was really fun/exhausting. And of course Potamus has been up this morning since 5am…
