For whatever reason, though I learned that song when we lived in Mt. Pleasant and I was in the third grade... I have always remembered it and it gets SO stuck in my head every Halloween. I notice to this day that when I attempt to spell that word, the song goes running in my head... tune and all. Too funny the things that stick w/you from childhood...
Anyway- our Halloween festivities have concluded, and so I shall post- what else- more pictures! Hurray! We attended a Halloween party at Bob and Helen's (friends of ours) this past Saturday and then passed out candy from our house tonight with Jennifer and Justin. We didn't have the most superb turn out, but the weather wasn't really conducive to extended trick-or-treating. I think many families simply covered their blocks and headed in out of the wind and rain. I'd guess we had only 20-25 kids. Oh well... maybe next year. The kids that did come were, of course, adorable. Ben was thrilled to see a 4 year old Storm Trooper among them... and my favorite was the most clever monkey costume I've ever seen. So cute.
We did all have a great time hanging out together. Jen and Justin brought pumpkins that they carved and we feasted on pizza, donuts, and cider. (Strikes me as particularly funny after just having read Sally's blog about making vermecelli w/shrimp.)
Okay- on with the pictures!
Ben and I (AKA: Darth and Pippi) in front of our house just before the kiddos begin to arrive.
That's my sister for ya- can't just carve a silly face in the pumpkin like the rest of the world- No! She's got to be "artistic". =) Who am I kidding? I'm so jealous. How does she DO that???
Jen and Justin, looking Halloween-ish.
Not often are Justin's Asian roots obvious, but he sure played them up for Halloween. Too funny.
Hope the rest of you out there had a great evening as well! Until next time....
