Halloween!

Lon was looking forward to Halloween. Halloween fell on Monday, and they had a harvest party at school. This year I was able to make treats for the class. I made mini cupcakes and deviled eggs. The children did not eat many deviled eggs, the parents who were there ate all of them. 
After we helped the kids get their costume adjusted, they had a parade through the school, through the gym and back to their class rooms. Lon was a fine looking Marine. 
Snacks at their desks. Lon pretty much had cupcakes and the lollipop. Lon got a ghost lollipop on his trick or treat down town. A Tootsie pop with tissues over it and a face drawn on with black marker. Lon wanted me to make those for his class. After I dropped him off on Monday morning I got the pops and tissues and made one for each of his class mates and some siblings.  We really were not supposed to bring candy, but it was Halloween!
All the yummy treats!
When the party officially ended at 3:15, the parents who were there got to take their children home early! I bought Lon a See's Halloween candy, he was thrilled with it!
Inflating giganto pumpkin! Watching it fill with air
The annual picture with the pumpkin! And the second year with our big black cat!
Pouncing like the cat!
Our house all decorated!
Lon was starting not to feel well so we did a shorter version of our trick or treat route. I took this one and only photo of him trick or treating since the pumpkin o lantern was so creative.  I am going to try that next year.
Even though Lon did a shorter version of his route, he still got an enormous amount of candy. The split it up between our friend in Afghanistan, the navy, a college student and him self. 
He had a fun night, then stayed home sick for the next two days.  Poor little guy.

Oh, jealous! They never let kids come to school dressed up at Lakeview Elementary. It's so joyless.
