The boys' best friend, Cal lives in the Southwood neighborhood. On the Friday before Halloween, the neighborhood has a 'Fright Fest' at their town center. Cal invited the boys to join him for the event and we were more than happy to accept.
The boys are going to be Storm Troopers for Halloween. We wanted to keep the Storm Trooper costumes Halloween ready so we decided to pull out our Pirate costumes. Daddy also got the boys swords, eye patches and an earring to round out the costume.
"Pirate Andrew"...
"Pirate Wessie"...
At the event, there were a lot of games and activities for children. This is the 'eye ball' and 'gooey ball' toss. Ms. Katrina is seen here wearing her super cool Good Witch hat and Daddy has on a scary skull shirt which is actually everyday wear for Daddy.

Wes throwing an 'eye ball.' These were actually tennis balls covered in corn starch to make them oozy and gooey. Wes threw one and then wanted his hand cleaned!
Andrew's toss.... our lefty...
We then moved to a cookie decorating station. Ms. Katrina is helping Andrew, Mr. Jayson is helping Cal and Daddy is helping Jared. 
I was helping Wes and check out our tasty and beautiful final product...

"The guys" This picture makes me laugh because it looks like Cal has capture a band of wild Pirates...
After we enjoyed all of the activities, we settled into the town center lawn to watch a showing of "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." The boys really enjoyed their evening and the movie. I remember enjoying movie as a child but watching it with your children is an entirely different experience. Let's just say that I never remembered the use of 'stupid' and 'blockhead' so much as a child. All in all, we had a wonderful night! Thank you to the Goldmans for inviting us for the evening. The boys are really having a good time this Halloween season. They are very excited for the actual Halloween evening of Trick or Treating!
Take care,
I love seeing how the boys are growing. They are so darn stinking cute.
