The boys helped put on the legs and eyes. Unfortunately the meringue ghosts looked ok but tasted terrible, we had to scrap those. 
They we a hit! I insisted that the spiders needed 8 legs, but the boys got creative making the rare one-eyed spiders and the even more rare and dangerous 4-eyed spider (that they ate themselves)
The boys did not have school on friday so pumpkin carving we go! 
We were all smiles in the beginning, thinking and drawing what they would like the pumpkin to look like.
Peter was determined to make a angry/scary pumpkin and had a definite idea what the eyes should look like but could no get them right.
Things got out of hand when I told the boys that they each had to stick their hand in and grab one handful of guts. Jamison was not so much smiling but on the verge of crying. Once he did it he said that it wasn't all that bad, not his favorite but ok.
Peter on the other hand was in hysterics. He told me that he was only going to reach in and grab one seed, but that means that his big mean mother would push is hand in to because extracting 1 seed would not cut it. Ooohh, he was not happy with me! Why did the boys get Pats irrational fear of pumpkin guts? Bummer.
We are almost ready with the costumes, Meet Cole DX, the ninja of Earth. Having learned Spinjitzu, and conquering his fear of dragons, he and his mighty Earth Dragon are as tough as a mountain. Together they will knock down the Skullkins like an Earthquake. Cole is the team leader and a good friend. He is strong, dependable and solid like a big, heavy rock.
Meet Kai, ninja of fire. (Kai still needs his mother to make a red head covering). Kai is like fire, wild and dangerous. He is quick to act, quick to attack and quick to get into big trouble. He is good at finding trouble also. Kai can't wait for anything. He jumps headfirst into a pool before checking to see if there's sire in it. He hopes there is, he wants to fight it. Final pictures to come.
