Halloween Spooktacular - 2010

Halloween again!! Comes quicker every year.
First off - here are the pumpkins that we carved - they 'kept' for us to carve Nana & Papa!
I labeled them so you know who did what.

The boys had the school Halloween dance on Thursday night. They always have a great time - Logan running around with this buddies and Carter, well Carter just danced........mostly by himself.

Logan before the dance
They both got pretty tired. I love how they 'propped' each other up for a picture.

Friday afternoon the boys then had their parties at school. The entire school goes into the gym and each class parades around showing off their costumes.
This is Carter giving 'High-fives' to the Grade 6's.
Back in their classrooms.


The boys each wanted to take some treats for the parties so this is what we made.
Bat cake for Carter and Butterscotch chip/M&M dipped apples for Logan.


And then finally tonight!!
The official costume reveal.
Buzz Light Year

Spooky Wizard

We had an extra boy out with us this year - A Flying Dragon - AKA Easton Ertmoed.
He was fun to have join in.

The boys took turns commenting/complimenting the neighbours on their pumpkins and decorations. They were at one house and Carter started giving a compliment before noticing that the old lady had no decorations OR pumpkins out. So the words that came out of his mouth went like this - "I really like.......the inside of your house!"
As we were walking away, Logan looks up at me and said, "Carter got double from that last lady for what he said!"
Check out the loot!

We hit all the same houses as last year - maybe a few less - and they got almost double the goodies. So now the kids are sound asleep and Mark and I are 'inspecting' the candy.
Happy Halloween - Boo!

Weekend projects.

We didn't think we had enough to do on the weekend with hockey, laundry and everything else we do to catch up for the week.......... we thought we would throw in some home renovations.
Take a look at what we did!

Did you spot the difference?
Still have some touch-ups to do, but wow, what a change.
