Happy Halloween from Taiwan

I planned ahead this time. I knew that I would not be seeing Reagan after school and that I would not be taking Gavin trick or treating so if I wanted a Halloween picture this year I had to take it that morning. Keely wore her costume to school and I made Reagan and Gavin put theirs on for the picture because they were going to change into their costumes later that day for the party. Aren't they cute?



Reagan and Gavin were having Halloween parties that started at 1:00. I went up to help with the parties and of course to take pictures. In Gavin's class they carved pumpkins. I was the parent who was in charge of helping Gavin's table. His table mates and he decided to carve their own face as opposed to using one from a book. I thought it turned out pretty well.








They all worked together to clean out the pumpkin and carve its face. I think the finished product turned out great.



Gavin's teacher took a picture of the group and me since I helped.



Here are just few more pictures from Gavin's party. Elvis even stopped by to entertain the class.
I think he had a great time. Maybe I can get him to blog about it later.






My job for Reagan's party was to make a snack to have at the party. Reagan wanted me to make pumpkin dip and ginger snaps. Here's a picture of Reagan and friends and the whole class.








One of the games her class played was wrapping people up as mummies. Reagan was one of the people who was to be wrapped.







Both parties were great. I just went back and forth to make sure I got to spend time with both Reagan and Gavin. My pumpkin dip was a hit with the adults but not so much with the kids. Oh well more leftovers for me.

We ended our Halloween night at Jake's Country Kitchen for supper with Gavin and his friend Dane. I had bought a couple bags of candy just in case we got any trick or treaters but we didn't.
