Halloween

Ethan was a bit frustrated after school because he wanted a "cool" costume and we couldn't find anything at home.  He had thought to be Indiana Jones and Grandpa Oman made him a whip, but he wasn't sure that's what he wanted to be.  So after school on Halloween, we booked it to the Party Store to see what we could find.  The "Morph" costume was really popular so Ethan wanted one and we were able to get the last one in green.  He was pretty happy about it.

Our neighborhood has a tradition of having a big party on Halloween but for the last couple of years someone else has been in charge of it and they have changed it to the Monday before Halloween.  A bunch of us missed getting together and having a potluck before the kids went trick-or-treating so we all got together and had soups before the kids headed out.  It was a lot smaller than it usually is but there were only a few families who got together.  The kids loved it and then they were all ready to go out and get their loot.

When they were finished trick-or-treating they came home to answer the door.  They had a lot of fun and got a bunch of candy.  They got to pick 10 pieces and then put the rest out for the Halloween Fairy.

Here is what they found the next day (sorry it is sideways):
