Halloween Fun

I love it when Halloween falls on a Friday . . . I think we should start a petition to have Halloween always be the last Friday of October. Kind of like how Thanksgiving is always the last Thursday in November. Anyone with me on this?

On Thursday of this week, Hudson had his Halloween party at school. Thanks to Angie for making a practice run of wheat-free sugar cookies last week! His turned out perfect for decorating along with the ones the other children were doing. Thursday night, we made caramel apples and carved pumpkins with Jack -- very fun!

Friday, Olivia had to dress like a literary character for school. She chose -- who else -- Olivia The Pig!! She looked FABULOUS, complete with a snout and a tail. That night, Hudson was a knight (dressed in the "armor of God" he'll tell you) and Olivia was a hula girl. We trick-or-treated with neighbors Sydney (the doctor) and Jack (the pirate). It was a beautiful fall night. Once it got dark, Randy took them to another neighborhood near ours for some spooky fun. We had quite a few 'treaters' this year -- love it!
