The Halloween dance at church was fun. Turns out that Bobo loves babies and little kids (except Rosebud). Here he is dancing with a two-year-old friend. Mr Brown was still in the grips of pneumonia but still danced a couple dances with me. He made himself chainmail out of canning rings, and a giant spoon, and went as a knight of the dinner table. Sorry no photo!!
We carved monster pumpkins at the beginning of October, and then it was a lovely month and the pumpkins rotted. Rose Pink suggested getting pie pumpkins to carve, and I thought we could just about handle that, so we did. I actually had a lot more fun with the tiny pumpkins.
Costumes: Rosebud was a lady bug, thanks to Aunt Jessica!
Wait, there must be something wrong with my camera....
There, that's better:
Older kids, from left to right: Dr. Fate, a 'Batman knight', and an iceberg. The iceberg has a broken Titanic represented on it.
We trick-or-treated with our friends the Calls, and had a great time. The kids came home with pounds and pounds of candy. Bobo in particular is ecstatic.
A couple nights later, the boys and I made a bar chart of all the candy by laying it out on the playroom floor. They got more kit-kats by far than anything else. Reese's Cups and Snickers were in a dead heat for second place. It was really interesting to see which candy companies have a lock on the Halloween market.
