Matt: "Once upon a time, there was a scary story about Bernie. And he was making his dinner. And he walked to a scary house. And he looked for Indiana Jones. And he looked at a monster. And he looked at a ghost. That was scary."
Josh: "It was a dark and blue night. I was playing video games. Then I heard a knock at the door. I opened it up and there was nothing there. Then I felt a tickle in my throat. I thought I had allergies! So I closed the door. Then I went over and looked out the window. Across the street I saw a phantom and a wizard! Then the door rang again! I opened the door and they had bags and they said trick or treat. So I decided to give them candy. The end."
Ben: "It was a dark and purple night. I was at home doing art. Then I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door, but there was no one there! Then I felt a bite on the back of my neck! I put my hand back to feel it, but it flew away. Then I looked across the street and saw a phantom with crimson eyes. So I slammed the door shut and ran and hid in the basement! Now I'll never open my door at night again unless I have a dragon with me."
I hope that you guys don't have nightmares tonight.
Also, we carved pumpkins last night! Well, actually the kids drew designs on their pumpkins and then went in the other room and played while Eric carved pumpkins. Pay special attention to Matt's pumpkin, in the upper right-hand corner:
Matt calls that pumpkin 'Skoopy Eyes.' (Spooky!)And here are my adorable gourds:
Happy Halloween!
