Happy Halloween!

At the beginning of October, Simon and his cousin Leah were in the kitchen writing on colored construction paper, and asking how to spell certain words, like Halloween. Before I knew it, they had delivered several handmade invitations to neighborhood kids for a Halloween party at our house. So being the suckers that Tommy and I are, we had a Halloween party. We had it on Halloween before it got dark and the kids had a great time. There were about 20 kids there and they played games and had lots of treats.

Simon almost became Leah's treat!

Simon is obviously a hot dog, and Max was an evil jester. It looks a little scarier with the mask on. We had a costume contest to see who had the scariest costume, the prettiest costume, and the funniest costume. Simon won for funniest costume (I know what you are thinking...he just happened to win when his own parents were throwing the party? Well so we wouldn't have anyone's feelings hurt, we polled all the kids at the party. So we had nothing to do with it...except perhaps a few innocent bribes here and there). Anyways, I think they all had a good time. Max thinks he wants to have a party every year and Simon even thinks we should have a party for Valentine's day, and maybe even Mother's Day!
