The bad guys: Darth Vader, the Emperor, and a Sith apprentice...
The good guys: 3 cuddly ewoks, Obi-Wan, 3 skilled Jedi's, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Princess Leia, and Queen Amidala...
Aw... baby ewoks are the best... and are super cute, even if they are sad. :)
Our little family... Ewok Claire got past her fussiness and fell fast asleep by this point. And Emma was getting skilled at her Leia poses...
So, now we get to go back in time and catch up over the last weeks activities. I haven't been great at posting as I go recently, so looks like this gets to be one big Halloween post...
For Family Home Evening this past Monday, we did a Halloween relay race - we split into teams and had to complete 3 games one after the other as fast as we could - first: drop the candy corns in the jar, second: wrap your partner as a mummy (emptying an entire toilet paper roll), and third: eat a donut off a string. It was a messy activity. :)
We did some trunk or treat hopping this year - we went to the Lee's trunk or treat on Friday night, and then they all came to ours on Saturday night. I didn't get any pictures from Friday night, and just a few from Saturday, but we had a lot of fun and got soooo much candy!
They taught the Thriller dance as one of the activities at our Trunk or Treat - Ben's mom is always the fun one and was quick to the get our kids over there and dancing...
We carved pumpkins on Sunday - I'm never that thrilled about carving pumpkins at first, but once we get going, it's always fun and I love the finished jack-o-lanterns. Ben got creative as usual...
I didn't carve a pumpkin, but my contribution to the pumpkin party was making a pumpkin pie, using a real pumpkin! I baked the pumpkin and then scraped out the flesh and pureed it in the food processor. I felt very domestic! I love pumpkin pie!
On Halloween morning, Becca had her preschool Halloween party. Did you know that it was 90 degrees outside on Halloween? Where did the cool temperatures go? I'm ready to wear long pants now please! Anyway, the party was warm, but fun to see Becca in her element. She has a super cute preschool class...
Guess what?! Claire sits! On Halloween morning, she demonstrated her new found talent for the first time. She's wobbly, but was able to sit up unassisted for a few minutes before toppling. She is so cute...
Your costumes were fantastic! It's fun how the whole family coordinates.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing all of your activities. It's never dull at your house, that's for sure.
Carol is a great sport. She was really rockin' with the kids in that video. Thriller has some really good moves to go with the music. It looked liked a ton of fun.
Bens grinning pumpkin was a real hoot. He did excellent work on that. He's much better at that carving business than I'd ever be.
I never had much patience for carving pumpkins.
Good job making pumpkin pie. I like food.
Another Halloween in the books, I love the photo of Claire falling into Jake's lap!
ReplyDeleteI really love the star wars theme! You guys look great! What a fun Halloween you guys had. And your little Claire is getting so big.
