First Halloween Party

On Sunday, Andrew and Sylvia and I attended a Halloween bash at a preschool friend’s home.  It was so much fun!  They went totally overboard with the decorations and activities and costumes.  A wizard came and gave a show to a rapt audience.  And the kids and I ate a truly exceptional quantity of cupcakes, jello, cookies, candies, cheese puffs, and other delectables.

Here’s the entrance to their back yard…

Moments after arriving, the kids consume (the frosting only) of cupcake #1.

Here’s Sylvia hunting for some lollipop ghosts.  The scab on her nose is from a dive she took off the front steps (onto concrete) a week ago).

During the magic show, I had fun photographing the crowd.

The weather was perfect…warm and clear.  But as night fell, the fire sure felt nice!
