Halloween Fun

Pinata at a Halloween party
Peter was first to go and couldn't figure out what he was supposed to do. He kept tapping the bat on the ground. By his second turn, he'd figured out the objective.

Maze at a pumpkin patch
Eddie successfully led us through twice. Here we are stopped at a dead end.

Picking out a carving pumpkin

We ended up buying these toys for Peter since he'd already put them in his mouth.

Carving a pumpkin
Eddie and Peter weren't all that interested in getting their hands messy. Peter tried putting his hand in the pumpkin once. Eddie wouldn't.
Traditional stew and breadsticks dinner

Costumes
Ben was a vampire; his was last minute. He only dressed up because Eddie said it would be fun if Dad dressed up as something scary.
Peter was Tigger. He initially didn't like wearing his costume. He didn't mind it by Halloween, though, and even asked to have it on after Halloween was over.
Eddie was a black cat, my idea. He liked it initially, though, the day of Halloween he kept mentioning other things he would like to be (a robot, a firefighter, something scary). I will let him choose next year. He's on a kick of wearing his rain boots everywhere! They go well with the costume!I was a black cat, too, cuz it's easy. Eddie was more excited about wearing his cat costume when he found out I'd be one, too.
