Happy Halloween!

We had a very fun Halloween.  It started with a special Halloween breakfast: toast cut into the shape of a pumpkin w/ apricot jam and banana jack-o-lantern face, yogurt with Halloween sprinkles, and fruit cut into the shape of ghosts, bats, and pumpkins. Will liked it so much, he asked to have his lunch cut into fun shapes as well.  After lunch, the kids put on their costumes and we went over to the Hofmeyer's. Rain was in the forecast so we didn't know if Alex would make it out for trick-or-treating or not.  The boys got some good treats in their pumpkin.  Will had a piece of candy and Alex played with his.  Then we ran over to visit Oma.  Again, they each got more candy in their pails.  Everyone at the nursing home loved their costumes!

After their naps, we got things ready for dinner.  We had our neighbors and their kids over for a quick bite before we went out.  They were all so excited.  It was quite a crew!

Then it was off for trick-or-treating.  We met up with some other friends, but they couldn't keep up with Speed Demon Will.  He had no trouble keeping up with the older kids.  In fact, he ended up leading the bunch.  It was really funny to see him sprinting from house to house with his little legs.  He was the hit of the neighborhood.  Everyone was very impressed with his determination. 

After about an hour of trick or treating, Will said "this little astronaut is getting tired" so we went home to sort through his loot.
