Halloween Festivities

Anya got a kick out of squishing the pumpkin guts in between her fingers! The boys were a little more hesitant!
But in the end, they all did their part and were able to show off their creations.


James especially liked his bat. They chose the design, mommy and daddy did the carving.


Can you guess what they are? I already gave the bat away.


The day of Halloween, Karen has a tradition with plenty of games. The most popular is hanging a donut by a string and having the kids eat them without using their hands. Peter, Anya, and Mark are still getting used to the rules. James is a master no hands donut eater.


And the costumes. Karen continues to outdo herself. We had the entire court. The jester:


The king:


The knight:


The princess:

And the prince:

Watch out for Peter. He distracts you with his smile as he pulls out his sword! :) They cashed in pretty well with the candy tonight (so did mommy and daddy). They were only allowed 3 peices each tonight so hopefully they'll sleep well. Happy Halloween!

What a colorful, beautiful bunch of kids. Thanks for letting us "drop in" and see their celebration!

stop it. stop it. stop it.
That is just ridiculously great.

Karen, you amaze me and flabbergast me all at the same time.

Glad the "let the kids pass out candy at your work" idea was such a success! (grin)
