Halloween 2023

We enjoyed a GORGEOUS fall this year, until a big snow storm two days before Halloween :-D Oh well, you can't kill the Halloween spirit in these kids!

Our first snow of the season, so I made our traditional celebrator liege waffles. It was fun to look in the garden to see animal paths during the night.
Pumpkins! I got only a single, small jack-o-lantern variety pumpkin to grow this year. My sugar pie pumpkins did better. So the kids carved store bought pumpkins. It's so nice they are old enough to do their own carving. We watched Over the Garden Wall while we worked.
I had fun wearing my costume a couple dance classes. They haven't posted the group photos on social media yet. I'll share them if they look nice.
Jack's Revolutionary era costume came out quite dashing! We took him to a friend's party and I was tickled to see them walking together in breeches.

Sam is a Cat Wizard. All those applique were annoying to sew, but he was happy with the result. Jack 3D printed the crystal at the top of Sam'Sam is a Cat Wizard. All those applique were annoying to sew, but he was happy with the result.

Jack 3D printed the crystal at the top of Sam's staff at school. He is excited to be the TA for his STEM teacher next trimester and hopes to do more printing projects.
Dressed for school and work Halloween morning!
I went to the school parade - it'I went to the school parade - it's always super cute! Then I helped with his class party. I mostly monitored the mystery box station.
Ben took the kids around the neighborhood for trick-or-treating. They got so much candy! I stayed home to pass out treats and play the new Mario video game.
The kids gobbled their candy and we finished the Over the Garden Wall episodes.
It was another Happy Halloween!
