Halloween



We had a great Halloween with the boys. On Friday, we met Jonny, Jenny and Tommy at Boo at the Zoo. The boys had a Halloween party at school on Monday, complete with a school-wide costume parade. And then we headed out Monday night to trick-or-treat around the neighborhood. I remember that our first Halloween here we made it to 3 houses. Last year, we barely made it around the block before Luke gave out. But this year, we could have gone all night if we had let them. Greg encouraged the boys to pick Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock - but it was a pretty easy sale. They initially wanted to be Anakin and Luke Skywalker, but they were fine with changing their minds - Ryan was especially excited about wearing Spock ears. I keep thinking that this will be the last year of the combo costume idea - but they have been fine with it the last 2 years - we'll see what next year brings.

Ryan and Luke with their jack o'lanterns - they drew the faces and then helped Greg carve them.

They are growing up so much. I know I don't have to tell you that, but wow... a good reminder to me to enjoy each day! :)
