Halloween Part 2

Halloween itself started with school celebrations. N's class trick-or-treated to some of the offices at the school.
Here he's getting a treat from the nurse.

That treat was an eye patch that he had to put on right away.

 



The principal and one of the secretaries as Groucho and Harpo Marx.

After trick-or-treating his class had a party and then we went home. In the afternoon was Rudy's school parade.
Here he sits on Paul's shoulders while waiting.

Our quick glimpse of our ninja in his parade.

Then after dinner it was finally time for trick-or-treating. Rudy was just off-the-charts excited and couldn't wait for 6:00 to come.
And then of course I made them pose for some pictures.

Trick-or-treating in style.

He really does make an adorable ninja.

Halloween Part 1

This weekend we started our Halloween celebrations. Saturday we (I) carved the pumpkin. It was not fun doing one of these sheets, instead of just making shapes, but it looks pretty cool.

Sunday we went to Halloween at Batsto Village.

There were lots of games to play.

And face painting.

Yes, two snakes. N went back and forth between a spider and a snake, but once he saw Rudy's snake he was sold on it.

Plenty of sunshine and open areas to run and play.

Paul had to try it out, too.

After Batsto we went home for some costume changes and headed to Smithville for our second Zombie Walk. This time Rudy wanted to participate and our friends Will, Nathan, and Jared joined us. This is the picture before they got their makeup done.

He makes a pretty good Zombie.

And the after picture.You can tell that Nathan got his makeup done by a different person (who took a really long time!)

The Zombies attacking N. He laughed and thought it was so funny.

After getting makeup applied, we quickly grabbed some pizza.

And then it was time for the walk. Here is Jared with Nathan right behind him.

Rudy and his buddy Will.

After the walk there was a raffle for anyone who participated in the walk. For about 20 minutes or so, names were called out and prizes distributed. The boys had front and center standing and sitting room. Rudy won a target poster for shooting zombies and Jared won a drink cozy that says NJ Zombie Task Force. The boys had so much fun; I think this will be an annual event.
