Halloween Fun!

Halloween is in full effect here!   The past couple of weeks, the boys have made lots of spooky crafts hanging around the house.
Earlier this week, Nathan carved pumpkins with the boys and they turned out really cute! The boys chose was what spooky faces they wanted.

 Proudly displaying their pumpkins (large squash)!

 Last night, we went to the Embassy Halloween party and it was a lot of fun. There was around 400 people there! It was busy, but well organized and there was lots of activities for the kids, not too much candy, and a delicious buffet afterwards!
 Meet Captain America and Dr. Bones....



 The boys with some of their friends at the Embassy.
Tonight we went to a cookie decorating party at a friend's house. There were lots of sugar cookies, and plenty of frosting, sprinkles, and other toppings to decorate the cookies. The kids were really into the decorating and did a great job!

 And it was fun for the adults too. We have made some nice friends here and it's fun to get together at each others homes and watch our kids play together.
 The impressive finished products! We took a plateful home :).
And the boys finished off the sugar-filled night playing with their home-made paddle boats in the bath. This morning while I was running a half-marathon, more about that in the next post, Nathan made boats with the boys!
Tomorrow is a birthday party then one more Halloween party on Monday!
