Spiderman, a Dragon, Bones and the Sugar Fairy!

We had a fun Halloween!  I made pumpkin stew and bone bread sticks from the recipe "Rose Room Rolls", The Waldorf Kindergarten Snack Book. When I saw this post on mamaroots, I knew we had to have them!  The boys loved our yummy, scary bones.

We also had warm cider, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie and apple tart.  Yum!

My eldest, who had planned to be a dragon to match his little brother decided last minute to change to Spiderman (gasp!).

Spiderman, spiderman!
What to do?
Daddy loves Spiderman,
so they do too!

Do you like my little poem?  Even though to Mommy's aesthetic Spiderman is way overdone and not very creative, (just like the poem above).  It just can't be helped. I won't interfere with their Papa & sons fun! 

So instead of two dragons we had one.

Owen was really cute!  Before we left I ran over the rules of trick or treating at dinner.  "Say Trick or Treat, don't forget to say Thank you,  choose only one piece of candy unless they tell you different".  Owen was really listening, he was a model trick or treater.  He even doled out the Dragon roar's for everyone except at this house. Where instead of roaring he stuck out his tail and made a farting sound to their "roars" of laughter. Typical.

Everyone loved his tail!
 

And Michael was the cutest Spiderman on the block, in my unbiased opinion! 

Last night I tried and tried but I just couldn't get any good pictures.  So today the boys put on a little photo shoot for me.  Yes, bare feet!  It was quite warm last night and today it's 70 some. 

Michael's jack o 'lantern is on the left.  I wish I had gotten a picture of Michael & Daddy carving pumpkins but I was busy with our bones!  Owen was taking a rare nap, which saved our Trick or Treating eve! 

If it seems I have a million pictures of Owen, it's because I was trying to capture this adorable costume.  I won this dragon tail in a giveaway!  Heidi at Under the Humble Moon makes the most adorable dragon costumes!  She even let me choose the colors!  Check out her etsy store, Humble Luna! 

Roaring his fierce roar!

This costume will live in our dress up basket.  It even fits Michael. I have a feeling we'll get a lot of use out of it.  With Michaelmas having just passed and my Mom sending us knight shirts, (Not to be confused with night shirts, I'll have to show you those another time.)  We have had a lot of dragon slaying going on here. 

 

This year I told the boys the Sugar Fairy's story. I wasn't sure how interested they would be about giving their candy away.  But Michael was super excited.  He asked me to tell him the story again and wholeheartedly agreed to it.  We wrote a note together to the Sugar Fairy. With Michael practicing some writing and making her a picture, we asked her to come and take our candy on Halloween night. (We saved a few pieces.)

And these are the gifts the boys woke up to on our doorstep this morning. Left in the same bag the candy had been in! How does she do it?  The DVD is a fantastic series of not so scary, Halloween stories from Scholastic Storybook Treasures called, A Very Brave Witch.  There was only one story the boys were a bit afraid of.

They are thrilled with their monsters.  Funny, I ahem, the sugar fairy must have been thinking of the story we just read in the Seven Year Old Wonder book, "Sylvia & the Black Imp". Even though Michael's black imp isn't black but green and there isn't a picture in the book. Michael said, "Look Mom!  The black Imp!"  He loves it but says it's too hairy, I guess I have to shave the little bugger.

Hope you had a fantastic Halloween!  Until next time...
