Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! The boys have been waiting for this night! Partly for wearing their costumes, but mostly for the candy! But first we had to tackle the pumpkins. Not Pat's favorite part, he gets a little squimish. I would say like a girl, but that would offend all the women i know that stuck their hands in pumpkins! I cleaned all of them! I think all five heads look great!
Now for the costumes. Meet ObiWan. Check out those boots, about 3 inches, knee high boots. Curtesy of Savers. How can you pass them up for $3. Jamison loved them, until he had walk all around the neighborhood.Meet Luke Skywalker, not Annikan as many people thought. I thought the Tatooine sand boots would have been the dead give away. The Jedis are prepared to meet Darth Vader on the streets. The boys also realized that they could use their light sabers for any zombies that may scare them along the way.
The boys made a candy haul, they even went to the house they refused to go last year. And they are willing to share! Sweet! They also started talking about what they are going to be next year....i think they have some time.Weekend chores. We had some serious yard work to do this weekend. The boys had a monetary incentive, a nickle for every stick they bring from the back 40 to the road. So to keep track of the money, Peter came up with this idea. They worked super hard!
The boys did fabulous! and even worked together! Earlier in the week, Jamison decided to dress Foxy up like ObiWan, even with a light saber. Peter declared that he was old enough to make his own breakfast. So I let him. I came downstairs to see this. At least the cereal was not all over the floor. Now once they learn how to make me some coffee I could sleep til noon!
