Happy Halloween 2009

Introducing Darth Vader and Fancy Kitty!

We had fun Trick or Treating with friends this year. It was a great night to walk around the neighborhood and sit around our fire pit in the driveway. Ian started out as Darth Vader, but shortly ditched the mask which he couldn't see out of. He then started telling people that he was half human and half robot! Ava was a fancy kitty for when asked what a kitty says she doesn't just say "meow," she says, "meow, meow!"

Ian instructing Ava on how to do a craft using popcicle sticks and glue. I'm proud to say that she didn't try to eat it!

Pumpkin creations. The little one ate too much candy.

In St. Louis you are expected to share a joke for a treat. I did not trick or treat as a child, but have been told that this is just a St. Louis tradition. Ian's chosen jokes were:

Q. What do you call a skeleton that doesn't go to work?
A. Lazy Bones
Q. What's it feel like to kiss a vampire?
A. A pain in the neck
