Okay, I'm way late for my Halloween recap, but later posts will tell you why, I swear. Here are the day old jack-o-lanterns, which my husband pretty much carved single-handedly for his lazy family.
First we had the YMCA party, which included free pumpkin fraps from Starbucks and a haunted house so scary the little guy dropped his playdough.
Here's K's most excellent after-school care teacher handing out ping pong balls to these adorable fierce Storm Troopers Clone Troopers for the mock goldfish toss.
Check out the "break the balloon with a body part" game. Guess which body part they spun?
Here's D in the donut eating contest. He took over for his older brother who's taste buds can't handle sweets without chocolate.
We leave the Storm Troopers behind for the next party, a mom's club ones that's always a
For some reason I keep attempting rolled and shaped sugar cookies. I made a decent batch for camping and left them in the car. Score 1 for the office.

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. We chose to trick-or-treat with a buddy in our neighborhood, where I believe we made up about 85% of the kid out there, but these guys didn't care. They had a blast. And yes, that's costume # 3 if you were keeping track.
Loved the storm, er, clone troopers!
