Halloween

I am testing this out again because my last entry had troubles. I think I figured out how to add pictures. I can only add one at a time. I can't resize them and add it. I must add it as the original. It takes longer but it works!!!!

The holidays have started with Halloween! The boys are dressed up in their various gigs.

Payton was a sober Captain Hook. He didn't want to dress up for some reason. I think he thought his friends' costumes were cooler. He wasn't happy with his simple jacket and homemade hook. To his credit, there wasn't much to choose from here and my tardiness with buying the costumes didn't help. Shopping the day before doesn't allow for creativity, fixing mess ups or adding to what we bought. Ironically, the day after Halloween, I finally went out to the fabric market intending to get a head start on Christmas, and I find four GREAT Halloween shops. I never made it to the fabric market, but decided to buy a few things in preparations for next year! The second picture is Payton dancing to the song, "Monster Mash". He is with his preschool class.

Next is Noah as a ninja. Can you find him? This is his classroom party day. First graders rotated from class to class and had great activities such as Mad Libs Halloween and crafts. Later they did a parade.

Third is Owen. He is captured on stage at the Taipei American School Annual Halloween Parade! He is Mr. Muscles! His class also had some crafts and a little party with yummy treats. (Oh, yes it was fun bouncing around to each classroom. That is why I dressed as the white angelic ghost. )

Oops, I don't think I got pictures of myself or Greg! I'll have to add it later- along with our ward social- trunk or treat. I actually dressed differently that night because I didn't have the ghost costume then. So, I used my belly cast and a kimono to dress up- pregnant and barefoot. No, no wishful thinking there. I'll have to put my costumes on again and post it later. Greg was himself- my handsome, young prince! Okay, back to the boys.

Last but not least, is ... Green Monster/ Ghost- Gray. 10 year old boys -we have learned -don't want to look like themselves at all, or at least want to do something different than the superhero years of before. Here he is with his friends, Jack and Tobias. Instead of just marching along on stage, they got acting around. Everyone was laughing.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
