Pumpkins.Joy.Cookies.Supers

We had a little fun marble painting some pumpkins around Halloween. They liked this craft, but it was hard to keep them calm enough to just slowly roll them back and forth. 

Everything turns into SUPER mode after the basic skill is accomplished. So the marbles started flinging out everywhere after a while. When this happened I said, "Pumpkins are finished! No more paint needed." ;)

 We had our annual shipment of pumpkins sent over on the mailboat from Nassau. One year we're going to time our stateside trip near Halloween so we can do the fun pumpkin patch thing and really show them FALL!!! But for now, they don't mind the simple way we celebrate things down here. 

October 2013 CC officially went into remission with her leukemia. We were very excited for her, and the best way we knew how to show it was the Jump for Joy for her to see...

Of course, we had to practice a few times...

I always liked the blooper segments after movies...

And this was the set we sent to Cheer for Cynthia! I wanted to make sure they knew this was BIG news for CC, but that it was also very positive news for her. And I think after this, they understood that a little better :) 

Halloween is always a great holiday to share some cookies, and they were so fun to make. 

My favorites were the spider-webs, candy corn and ghosts. 

This year we decided to do a SUPERHERO theme, and it was so much fun! The boys loved us getting dressed up with them and they got into it so much. And so did we :) 

We've managed to get quite the crowd of trick-or-treat buddies. Each year our group grows a little. We're trying to get more of the adults to dress up with us this year... but we're still trying to figure out what to dress up as ourselves... 

MY favorite moment was when Mya, the little girl up above this text in the middle picture all the way to the left, came close to me. She had been looking at me kind of funny for a bit, but she came up close and softly said, "You're really beautiful!" I chalk it up to the bright red lips and the heavy glitter, but I loved it. She was so sweet and made my night completely! 

All the little boys tried attacking Dallas all night, but have no fear, Wolverine won every battle and with Spidey and Batman at his sides no one else stood a chance. Another fun loop around Conchy Joe Lane on Halloween!
