Halloweeners

What a day! Cinnamon roll breakfast with some neighbors, costume parade at the school, class parties, trick or treating, and watching the movie "Annie" to wrap up the night.  Today was action packed, filled with joy, and when I'm 85, I hope to remember the pure joy of my children, spending time with friends on this magical Halloween night.

Happy Simon is a black belt karate champion!  Every year the elementary school has a wonderful tradition.  The kids march in a parade in the gym while parents snap photos.

Reading to Owen's class.  Chef Lindsey.  Owen is Mike Zakowski (sp?) from Monsters Inc.

Jade got in on the action with a Halloween story of her own to the kids.

Eat the cookie balanced on your forehead not using your hands.

You know this is serious when the glasses come off for the fight.

Cal was Captain Kirk.  A very practical and honorable role.  Cal is showing off his pumpkin carving skills before heading out with his friends.

The bottom three went out together with a bunch of neighborhood kids.  Karate kid, princess with blood scars (who knows?), and a Ninja.  When evening fell, Owen wanted to match his best friend Cedric and so he busted out the Ninja costume from the toy bins.

Preston spent time at a friends watching a scary movie.  Jade got invited to a Halloween party with the teens from her seminary class.  Great night of fun, friends and candy.  Definitely Halloween weather with drizzle, leaves everywhere and a bit windy.  Great memories.
