ready for some fun
On Friday, October 28 we attended the city Halloween party at The Center. I was thoroughly impressed -- there were a lot of activities, and they went all-out on themes and decorations. Ryan took the boys and I stayed with Elizabeth, so she is the only photographic evidence of our fun evening! She loved the Alice in Wonderland cake walk -- we won on her very first time around, so we had to go back and do it again later! She loved the Winnie the Pooh game: you dig in the "honey" (those wet balls that are popular right now) and find a bee; then you climb up in the tree and tell Christopher Robin the number you got and he gives you a prize before you slide down the slide.

climbing up the tree
this was the reason she loved the game so much -- the slide!
Joshua joined us near the end of the night
The boys had fun in the Mad Science lab where they got to play a messy version of Operation and other games. They also loved the Angry Birds game!
On Monday -- Halloween -- Joshua dressed in his costume all day in anticipation of going to afternoon kindergarten! For some reason, this made Elizabeth think of her lady bug costume from last year, and so she wore that in the morning!
In the afternoon the school had its traditional Halloween Parade. The weather was beautiful, and it is always fun to see all the costumes and the children's excitement!
And here they are before heading out for trick-or-treating. This is the first year I have not made the younger boys wear hand-me-down costumes. Joshua's costume came with a helmet, but I don't think he wore it except for when he first brought the costume home from the store!
so excited!
meeska, mooska, Minnie Mouse!

oops . . . I forgot an individual shot of Luigi-- but I love him in this picture! He told me he is pretending to smash a goomba (the brown mushroom-looking guys)
Even a vampire cannot escape the camera!
Even in her costume, she tries to escape and ride her bike down the sidewalk hill!
