Happy Halloween!!!!!

Yesterday, we carved our annual Jack-o-lantern. This year we decided to make him a bit more cheerful. It was a good time together, and everyone contributed in their own way. I drew the face after we planned it together, Dad and Jonathan carved and cleaned it, and Alyssa pulled out the pieces and supervised. We think he turned out great!

Today, Jonathan was a Ninja at school for Storybook Character Day (we borrowed the costume from a friend, and he just loved it--and he didn't get it trouble today, either!). Then tonight, he was a blue Power Ranger, and Alyssa was a Caterpillar from the book, The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar (it was a costume that Erika wore when she was little). She loved her costume, and she got lots of complements because it was so unique. They got a ton of candy, but they pooped out on the second street and we were home by 8:00. Now they are enjoying candy and reading books - it was a great evening.
