Freak Show

Ben is always saying that it's "like a circus" at our house...

so we decided to make it official this year for Halloween!

Welcome to our freak show.

 We've got a despondent Strong Man, a Mime, an Organ Grinder & his monkey,
and a bearded lady.

Strong Man is still despondent.  

What gives? Oh, right.  No candy yet.

So we went to our church party last night in these get-ups.

Apparently we didn't think the whole eating-in-costume thing through.

Here is Ben trying to eat chili over the unsuspecting little monkey.

Luckily, he didn't become chili covered monkey.

Organ Grinder and Braveheart.

Love it.

And here is our little monkey all tuckered out from a night of performing.

And just for funsies,

here are some other things from our Halloween festivities this week...

Lately Nate has been obsessed with Waldo (or Wally to the Brits)...

so this is what he chose to wear to the Fall Harvest Party at school this year.

(Spence tagged along...for the candy..wink wink).

"Found Him!"

(can you guess how many times we heard that at the party?)

Nate is constantly changing his costume choice for trick-or-treating,

so we will see what he ends up as tonight!

Happy All Hallows Eve everyone!
