Trick or Treat






On Saturday Mark returned from his trip to Kenya and South Africa and joined right in on the Halloween festivities at home which included pumpkin carving and trick or treating in the neighborhood. James dressed up as Bumblebee from the Transformers and Andrew is Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.

Preschool Halloween Festivities






We had a very busy Halloween weekend starting on Friday at Andrew's preschool. They had a Costume Caper in the morning. All of the kids dressed up in their costumes and paraded on stage for the parents to see. Andrew dressed up as Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. They sang a few cute pumpkin songs. Then later in the day some of the kids performed at the nursing home close to the delight of the residents there.
