We're still struggling with the skill of getting both kids looking at the camera and smiling at the same time, but here's our best shot of them in their Halloween costumes tonight. They both had a great time at our neighbor's Halloween party, and Chris took Josh trick or treating afterward. Here are some highlights from our evening. By the way, Molly is a Dalmatian, not a cow. Someone at the party made a joke about giving her some hay!
Chris and Josh vs. a bunch of kids in tug-of-war. Chris and Josh actually held their own.
Here are me, Josh, Molly and Siri, one of our favorite neighborhood friends, on a hayride. Siri's dad hooked a riding lawn mower to a trailer full of hay and pulled everyone around the neighborhood.
Chris and a very happy Dalmatian.
This is one of the highlights of the party that has become an annual tradition. It's called the "Ball Game," and it involves the adults getting a good laugh at their kids' expense. All of the kids who want to participate go in the house, and they are told they're going to play a game where they will look under each towel on a table and call out the name of the kind of ball they find underneath. They are brought out one at a time and timed with a stopwatch. They hurry down the table yelling "basketball, soccer ball" and then they lift up the next towel and there's a guy underneath who scares them. Believe me, it's hilarious.
Josh tried out the role of "scarer" after the Ball Game ended.
