Halloween

The clubhouse always has a Halloween night with a maze and trick or treating. But, the do it on Halloween, so we've never been since we prefer to be out knocking on doors. This year, they put so much work into the maze that they did it the night before also.  So, we had to go check it out and it did not disappoint.

The maze was so cool and totally scary. I thought it might be a little lame, but it totally wasn't. Here's Hannibal trying to eat Ben's liver with a nice chianti and some fava beans. The had different themes around every corner. It was so fun, the kids went through twice.

Then, Ben was Michael Meyers from Halloween and there was another one at the clubhouse. He was super creepy. I hate Michael Meyers. I don't know how I'm even sleeping with that mask in our house.

The kids did a pumpkin. They do it on their own for the  most part.

Once the guts were out, everyone but Noah gave up. So he carved the whole thing by himself. 

He did a great job and was so proud of himself.

Halloween night, we got ready and headed to trick or treat with our friends.  Noah wanted to be this inflatable dinosaur, which was hysterical. We loved the costume.

When we met up with our friends, someone had the big dino costume. The problem was Noah could barley move in the thing. So, after we did about 20 houses, we go by our house. He runs inside and takes it off and puts on a Spiderman mask. He was done with the dino.

Emily and her friends went as M&M's.

Here's our big candy haul.  Ben got more than everyone as he went off with some of the older boys and they went to more houses. But, we all share, so it's all good.  And by share, I mean I steal about 10 pieces of candy while they are at school and by 3:00 when they get home, I'm sick. It's awesome. I can't wait for it to be gone.

And that was our Halloween!  It was lots of fun. And next year Noah says he won't wear a costume that he can't run in.  Lesson learned.
