Halloween Fun

Happy Halloween!! Here are pictures from our adventures as Tony the Tank Engine and Winnie-the-Pooh.



We had lots of fun. The day started with a parade at Tony's school. The Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grades all got to come to school in their costumes and they put on a parade for the rest of the school. Tony led the way with his train costume that Tom and I came up with over the weekend and spent most of Tuesday night madly painting and hot-gluing together. Amazing what you can come up with out of a few boxes, a 5 gallon bucket, empty formula cans, a sawzall, spray paint and a hot glue gun. We met the Price's for burritos and hit the Halloween Carnival at a local church. After Tony & Mikayla had their fill of games and the bounce house it was off to a nearby neighborhood to fill up on good old-fashioned trick or treating. Nathan and Meagan didn't get much out of either the trick-or-treating or the carnival, but Tony & Mikayla had a successful evening.



Thomas on the other hand, had a bit of a rough evening. Tony missed a curb as he was heading off to trick-or-treat and took a small tumble. The fall knocked Thomas's face off, which Tom and Chad taped back on and sent him on his way. It didn't even faze Tony and we didn't realize the "extent" of the damage until we got home. He has a small cut on his right eyelid, the costume is a little worse for wear. I think we're missing a wheel or two, too.

So fun! Reminds me of the train I made for Ethan when he was three, out of felt and apholstry foam. It's so fun having kids!
