I figured I better post my Halloween pictures before another holiday has come and gone! Sadly (but not surprisingly) I don't have many good pics of the boys in their Star Wars costumes (Reed was Anakin and Graham was Luke). Both had parties at school on Friday the 30th, I helped out in Graham's class that day. His good friend, also named Reed, was also Anakin which is a fun coincidence.
Right after school I drove the boys to the other American school in town where Graham's friend Julia goes. Her mom, my friend Kathleen, is on the PTA and invited us to their party/festival from about 4-7 that Friday night. The boys had a blast (you can see Reed doing a broom race) and then they had Trunk Treating (or whatever that's called) so they got lots of candy.
I had pretty much decided we wouldn't do anything Saturday night since they had so much from Friday and there is only about 2 places that they can go trick or treat and there are literally thousands of kids who go to those 2 places. Luckily Darin and Lori Dunham (Jeff's step bro and wife) invited us out to their house. Gramsey was here visiting so we got to spend time with her as well. We grilled out and the kids walked door to door in a normal neighborhood. It was great. The kids had a blast as did the grownups. They have a nice house and a HUGE yard which is such a treat for us since we've been in an apartment for almost 5 years. Below is a picture of Graham and Grace in matching soccer shirts. They are about 6 months apart and truly inseperable when we get together. Last picture is Gramsey with all the kiddos, drying off after the torrential downpour that hit that night. Luckily for us it's the tropics so it's not like it was cold. The blankets are there because the A/C was blasting. :)
