Halloween is an odd holiday for our family. Ryan puts thought into his costumes, and enjoys the traditional festivities. On the other hand, Evan seems to not care too much about costumes. This year, he also talked about how he does not enjoy all the creepiness of the holiday. He was very happy for Halloween to be over, and for the decorations to come down. Even though our decorations are not the scary type. Sure enough, he had a hard time sleeping Halloween night. I guess it's just not his thing, and that's totally okay, it just makes it a little tricky to have a cohesive family Halloween vibe. Anyway...
Nevertheless, we celebrated.
Ryan made this dancing skeleton in art class.
We went to our traditional pumpkin farm. The boys were kind to let me take some pictures without them making gopher teeth.
They did a great job with their pumpkins this year. Both dug right in to scrape out the seeds.
They also drew their own designs and poked guiding holes, so Burke could carve.

At school, in 5th grade, one of the mom's came in with a fancy camera to take some festive pictures of our class.
Einstein and his beakers
[this one's from my phone]
Back to fancy camera - She took an individual picture of every kiddo in the class, along with various group shots. She even put together this backdrop in the hall. Wow!
She was nice enough to take a picture of all the parent party helpers with their kiddos.
The entire school marches around the hallways and outside for our Halloween costume parade. I was able to snap this picture of spy Evan as his class passed by.
That same mom with the fancy camera snapped these during the outside portion of the parade. He was in character!
Even Burke [and his colleague Rachel] was in the holiday spirit. Though I tried to dissuade him, he dressed as Mr. Incredible for his bi-annual Halloween concert. Haha!
Finally, it was time to head out trick or treating.
Pondering science...

Sorting candy - Evan had to consider which types of candy he was able to eat with his expanders. No chewy goodies for him.
Happy Halloween 2018! 🎃
