Halloween Party

Our neighbors invited us to their Halloween party this year.  We were excited to go, but since it was early in the month, despite some desperate sewing the night before, our costumes were not ready to go yet.  Thankfully our children have the world's large collection of dress up clothes known to man and so we ended up just telling them to go raid the closet and pick out something for the party.  The kids thought Jefferson would be cute in a Santa suit, Seth decided to be Peter Pan, Makelle made the completely un-shocking decision to go as a Disney Princess, Corbin was some kind of monster-looking thing, Mom was in a poodle skirt and Dad was a recycle Angry Bird Pig from a few years ago.

They took the time to face paint all the kids who were interested.  Corbin asked for some fangs.

Seth didn't want any face paint, but was very interested in copying Corbin's pose for the camera :)

Our favorite was watching the kids bob for apples.  Seth and that little bumblebee next to him just kept reaching their hands in and grabbing a yummy apple, taking a single bite out and then tossing it back in and picking a new apple.  We tried really hard to teach him how gross that was, then eventually just gave up and watched them in amusement instead.  Good parenting right there.

Makelle was actually the first one to get one, when she figured out the 'go for the stem' technique.

Eventually Corbin saw how she did it and followed suit, much to our disappointment neither one of them actually stuck their heads all the way under water.

Hey look, you can see some of Seth's randomly bitten apples in that picture, nice.
