Each child also had a costume. Again, you don't have to tell me how amazing I am...but maybe you should tell Elise how amazing she is. She is really the pusher behind traditions like carving pumpkins and wearing costumes. :) She found this amazing dress at the thrift store; here she is with her dear friend, Kieva.
Mason coded his Arduino and some LEDs he got from a mentor. On his back is his backpack--holding his laptop and Arduino. He was pretty proud of his wizard costume! The lights flashed all sorts of different colors and patterns. Lincoln was a pirate/Jedi/knight/bad knight and Sammy was a knight. Trevor was a lion--my little brother wore that costume when he was 3--made by my mom.
We had 4 different Halloween parties that we went to--two mostly sugar free and two full of sugar. We've been figuring out how much sugar is in each candy bar, and it is slightly astounding. We aren't big sugar eaters here, and have had some great talks on how sugar in excess is bad for us. I'm very impressed with the kids and their lack of whining for candy. They are (with the exception of Trevor) quite good at self-regulating their sugar intake. Makes me proud!
