I know it is a day early, but tonight was the 'Trunk or Treat' on base. We didn't actually make it to the cars unfortunately with the line being so long, but we stood in line and candy was delivered via wagon as we waited. It was a bummer, but next year we will know to get there even earlier!! The boys looked cute anyway! There were 3 other Batmans, but Riley was the only Robin!! We snuck into the commissary to buy some more candy to compensate...haha!
The boys got cards from Mimi & Papa with MONEY inside!! Andrew was very excited about the money and Riley will get up to speed when he realizes that he can buy something with it!!
SO...it was bugging me that he looked silly, so I decided to carve him. The design WAS a little bit intricate for an inexperienced carver like me, but I did my best and Andrew and I had fun making a mess!!
Our pumpkin this year is Jack Skelton from "The Nightmare before Christmas" (Daddy's favorite movie!). I didn't get a carving kit thinking the face would be too complicated, I decided to just trace it, but it would have looked much better carved. Oh well, we'll carve again next year! It still came out cute, though, don't you think??
Andrew insisted upon as all wearing plastic hats as bowls while we were playing instruments: I was the saxophone player, Andrew played the guiar, and Riley OF COURSE played the drums! So, I guess we are the "Plastic Bowl Band" haha!
