Halloween Happenings at the Lemon Building!!

Dad brought a big box of stuff home from the shop - and we dug through it and came up with some costumes - more than I usually do, I will say that. Dad commented that everyone asked who he was!! ("Can't you just dress up?" Dad asked, "Does there have to be a theme or a movie or a T.V. show?")

Mostly he does something that involves his "teeth!" I wore a tag that said, "Hi, I'm Carpenterita" and the other tag said, "If you build it, they will come." Seemed to satisfy everyone. (And I think some people just liked my hair!!)

Angela Larson - nice and ghoulish!!

Roseann G. - part of Karate Kid. I saw the movie - but it was a long time ago - so I didn't remember the skeleton part.

This part looked more familiar.

This was my favorite part!

The Magnussons - as Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs!"

The Cornwalls were Robin Hood and Friar Tuck - or is it Friar John? Sarah was Maid Marian - but she wasn't at the table when I came by!! Sue is noising around that this may have been the grand finale - somehow I don't see that happening - I told her she could now mine the annals of great historical couples - and the possibilities there were endless! (I keep trying to get Dad to go for that angle, but he thinks you need to just look scary or goofy or it's not Halloween!)

The Dodds were flowers - and Lydia and Audrey were bees. So was Miles, be he was off celebrating with the other kids.

Marissa and Brenda Carlson did the face painting honors - always popular.

Eve got a prize - prettiest I think. I got one too - for "Dirtiest Handyman!!" (They were just trying to get rid of candy bars when they called that one! )

Porter and Harry were loving all the fun stuff to do.

Especially the Trunk or Treating.

Karan joined us again - as a cat - when asked where her tail was, she replied that she was a Manx!

We still have to get through Halloween at school on Friday - I plan to do a little Edgar Allen Poe - I'll let you know how it goes.

And Saturday is the real deal - but we never get trick or treaters - although with Ali up the street, we may at least get 2!
