Unlike last year when I felt as though Halloween was about 3 weeks long, this year it came upon much faster. Probably had to do with us being busy with soccer, work, changing schedules, etc. And with only one kiddo in school and only one party that actually happened on Halloween, it was a pretty calm ramp up to the big day. Bamma has been doing all sorts of fun projects with the boys this month in preparation. There were pipe cleaner pumpkins and spiders, construction paper/yarn hanging bats and ghosts, q-tip skeletons, frankenstein pudding, and silly eyeball cookies...
Ike perfects his Michael Jordan impersonation. The kid seriously has his tongue hanging out most days like this!
Noah sustained his first soccer injury, cleats to the FACE! Makes him look fairly tough...
We got our Waterbury Wildcats spiritwear. I may have ordered a tad large to grow in to!
We pulled out some costumes to see what we had in Leo size and look who still can put on an 18 month Dragon one!?
The boys have been really in to card games lately, Mike taught them Uno, Laura taught them Go Fish, but I taught them important ones. War and Indian!
Pumpkin carving was the usual, Sam and Noah badgering Mike to start, then quickly losing interest and getting much to handsy with sharp knives, then some yelling some, some crying... Happy Halloween!
I only included one of Sam looking a bit psychotic, but we had a few... Mike says he's sleeping with one eye open now!
The final product, Bat-pumpkin!
Another cute Bamma project, brave lady painted their feet to do this one!

The big day came and I took off the afternoon to be at Noah's school. The principal shaved his full beard and donned a Waldo outfit. No one knew who he was!
Mrs. Stephan was a spooky skeleton!
There's Iron Spiderman!
Pudding at school, yes please!
Some games and some fun, it was a blast of an afternoon!
Noah with his best bud at school, Nico.
Despite the rainy weather, we put on our costumes at home and geared up for some trick or treating!
Blue Power Ranger, Iron Spider-Man, and Clark Kent!
Clark tolerated his glasses for longer than expected.
Iron-Spiderman: one of the 1200 spiderman variations
Blue Power Ranger, he had the weapon (some noise making stick) for about 3 seconds before whacking it on a table and losing privileges.
We met up with our neighbors across the street, McKenna (Rapunzel) and Deven (Pink Power Ranger) to head out for some soggy trick or treating. Isaac opted to stay home with daddy for treat distribution detail.
Even with the rain, it was super cute to see our kids all traipsing down the road. At least it wasn't freezing!
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Now to gear up for my FAVORITE....
CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
