Halloween 2017

One of the things I love about Mike.  He knows how to carve a pumpkin!

Those other two boys are showing some promise too.  Jake is on the left, Eli on the right.

The day started with a raging windstorm and a muddy dash through a pumpkin patch clutching pumpkins, but the weather mellowed into a perfect rainy afternoon to make meatballs and jack-o-lanterns at home.

Gussy can’t carve pumpkins, but he is sure trying to figure it out!

Jake helped me decorate one of my work colleagues.  It’s sort of weird to mix a fireman and Harry Potter, but the skeleton needed a robe.  He looked funny without any pants.

Halloween was a prolonged affair with multiple costumes, events, and parties.  Lots of candy and a preference for dum dums.  Is that because they taste good or because they last a really long time?  Hamburglar and James Bond are apparently both very smart.

Mommy is smart too.  The boys don’t really know much about Twix, so I am stealing them!
