Halloween Recap

We had a great Halloween! Benjamin was a box of Pop Tarts and Claire was a gypsy.

When we went to the Renaissance Fair a few weeks ago, Claire was enamored with some cute little fantasy puppets that sit on your shoulder. She purchased this "cat" and named him Jasper.
He has a wire that allows her to turn and nod his head. It's a bit freaky. In a cute kind of way.

Have I mentioned Benjamin's love of Pop Tarts before? Seriously. He's obsessed. So, this costume was perfect.
I spent several days copying the box. Jeff and I thought it would be fun to embellish the box and change the "ingredients" to things about Benjamin, but Benjamin thought that was a terrible idea. He insisted it be an exact copy.
Earlier in the week, Claire and a friend made bat cup cakes.
Benjamin and I did a bloody eyeball and a skeleton with an exposed brain. Yum?
Claire also continued her tradition of creating a very clever pumpkin. (See Lincoln peeking out the window?)
Didn't this bear turn out super cute? Such a cute girl, too!

Claire would have undoubtedly won the prize again. Very cute bear. She is so creative.

I always love seeing what you guys do for Halloween. Wonderful work by all of you! (Benjamin and Claire are looking so grown up!)

I love the costumes, cupcakes and pumpkins! What a fun Halloween! The corn maze looked like so much fun too.
