Halloween #1

We have three different Halloween events this weekend and kicked the festivities off today with a trick-or-treating playgroup. I took a few pictures of Woody and Buzz before we went in to join the madness.

"Hi!"

Checking out their cool accessories...

Ben shooting his priceless fake pistol at me. This is the one that was discovered in our checked baggage in Hong Kong on our trip back from Texas and took a few years off my life when the police escorted me into a van to locate and identify my weapon. But they let me keep it!

Posing with Wilder, Becca, and Austin. Alex's wings had to go a while later because he was knocking everyone in the head, although no one else seemed to mind.

Cupcakes, anyone?

Since I plan for the kids to wear the same costumes all weekend, we're going to have to avoid chocolate icing! Buzz definitely needed a good wash at home.

Ben also saw the ophthalmologist this morning and he was very pleased to see that the vision in Ben's lazy eye has improved with the use of his patch. It hasn't increased tremendously, but at our last visit several months ago, Ben couldn't even identify the first big picture using only his left eye. This time he made it through several successively smaller pictures before he started complaining that he couldn't see them. Great, great news. The downside is that the muscles don't seem to have tightened at all so we're probably looking at surgery next year to fix the turn of his eye, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. And hopefully in Houston.

  1. How cute are my sweet nephews?? :) So glad to hear about his eye...I meant to ask when we chatted a few days ago (and sorry I didn't get to chat last night--showered and went to bed early, like every Fri night it seems).
