Happy (almost) Halloween!

We were invited to a fabulous Halloween party tonight. Once again, the kids got to dress up. If you are really paying attention, you'll notice that Joshua is Buzz Lightyear for the second year in a row. Megan enjoys any opportunity to wear the full ballerina tu-tu. Daniel is actually wearing his pajamas, but they happen to be Superman pajamas, so it is close enough to being a costume. He is also sporting his supercape that I made him.

Everyone's favorite part of the party was the bobbing for apples. Tanya is holding the bowl steady so that none of the kids dump it down the front of them. Megan did great, she managed to grab a hold of the stem with her teeth and pull the apple right out.
Joshua's apple gave him a little bit of trouble. Daniel was trying to help. Finally, Joshua dunked his whole face in the water and took a big bite out of the apple. He was quite pleased with himself.
Daniel thought about putting his face in the water. For about 2 seconds I thought he was going to. But we all know that Daniel is smarter than that - he just reached in the water and grabbed the apple out, walked over to the bench and started eating it. It was quite funny.
We came home from the party and I threw them all in a nice warm bath. We got a package from Grandma today and it had an awesome bath time toy in it. There are foam roads and street signs and motor vehicles. Daniel was the first one in the tub and the last one out of the tub, he didn't want to give up the toys.

We watched The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and then everyone went off to bed. We have a bunch of fun stuff planned for tomorrow.
