Halloween 2013: The Pre-Party

The boys dressed as construction workers for Halloween.  Thank you to Nanna, who once again made darling costumes for them.  And thanks to Crayola.  Without my handy, washable, brown marker, the costumes wouldn't have been the same.

Halloween festivities started a week before Halloween.  We attended a MOPS Halloween Parade at a local senior citizens home early in the week.  It was sweet to see how happy the children made the residents. A couple days later, John and I attended a Halloween party for our church playgroup (he was excited to see another boy dressed as Elmo).  Then Henry celebrated with his classmates at their school Halloween party.  They paraded through the hallways, made a craft, and enjoyed some spooky treats.  Once again, Henry's beard gave quite a few laughs.  That night during prayers, Henry said, "Dear God, thank you for my beard for Halloween that made all the people smile."
