details

there was a lot of discussion about what to be for halloween.  abe decided on a mad scientist.  max really wanted to be ONE purple grape, so i was really excited when he and kai chose to be penguins since we already had those costumes.  sadie dressed in all black and i think she changed what she was at each house...ninja, 80's person, GYM TEACHER (my favorite!)  
halloween was great.  i was in charge of max's halloween party in his kindergarten class, we had a neighborhood party and then abe invited a few friends to go trick-or treating (kai and max included).  dave walked them around while vivian and i handed out candy.
notice our door that the boys decorated.  i gave them free reign this year and i thought they were pretty creative.  also, loved this little pumpkin that kai decorated.



grandpa bought vivian this cute pumpkin outfit that she sported most of the night.  she was super tired before the evening was over, so she retired to bed before the festivities were over...but not before she got all dressed up like a strawberry.  cute girl!

(notice the gross, throwing-up pumpkin abe made.) 
the boys ended up back at our house for hot chocolate and counting/trading candy and a movie.  
 they wondered about all the banging (and i screamed a few times), but it was just dave and i having fun trying to catch the mouse we found running around our house, which we decided was there to add to the overall creepiness of the night....don't worry, we are now mouse-less!
