Catching up!

October was a busy month!  Novemeber is goig to be pretty busy too!

I never did a Halloween post or an All Saints post like I usually do so I guess I'll combine them into one!  The kids went to a party at a friend's house on Halloween.  They had fun trick-or-treating with their friends.  They were a pretty big group...

My kids were Dorothy and Perry. :)

 



Before Halloween my son's bookclub read Frankenstein.  I made these rice krispie treat monsters for them.  The original recipe says to make them green, but in the book the monster is NOT green so I stayed true to the book even though they would have looked cuter green!

Our homeschool group has an All Saints Party every year.  This year Claire went as St. Elizabeth of Hungary.  I love that there were "princess saints" because with all I had going on we had to throw the costume together at the last minute!

 

Nathan's teen youth group puts on the All Saints Party for the little kids.  He doesn't dress up anymore, but here he is working the St. George and the Dragon game...

Wordful Wednesday

My kids had a great time this Halloween. Nathan dressed as Huck Finn and Claire as Tinkerbelle. I told them I was so proud that they were both literary characters! :)

First Halloween at the new house. We did a little decorating, but I hope to do more next year. Our All Saints party was the day before and Claire had a birthday party the afternoon of Halloween so I didn't have much time this year.

The kids are quite pleased with the loot they got from the new neighborhood! In Nathan's words, "Its all good candy, no junk candy!"

Monday Medicine: halloween jokes

I don't know about your kids, but mine love jokes! Here are a few cute halloween jokes I found on theholidayspot.com.

What do you get when you cross a vampire and a snowman?

Frostbite...


Do zombies eat popcorn with their fingers?


No, they eat the fingers separately...



Why don't skeletons ever go out on the town?


Because they don't have any body to go out with...
