Happy Halloween

Logan has watched the Lego Movie about 50 times since we downloaded it to the iPad for the trip to Germany, so it was no surprise when he wanted to be a Lego Movie character for Halloween. At first he was going to be Wild Style, but then he changed his mind and went with Emmett. I was Wild Style, Mark was Batman, and Amelie was supposed to be Princess UniKitty. In the end she wanted nothing to do with the kitty ear headband or the unicorn horn with elastic chinstrap, so we went with plan B which was Logan's old tiger costume. She looked pretty cute all the same. We had our biggest and best Halloween party yet. Mark turned the lawnmower into a batmobile and gave rides around the yard, hooked up a ghost on a zipline to scare our guests, and filled the barn with Halloween  balloons.  The kids were finally old enough for party games like eating doughnuts off a string with no hands.  Its a classic!  Even the Dad's took a turn.

It was lucky we celebrated Halloween the weekend before, because by the time actual Halloween came around, Logan was coming down with pneumonia.   We dragged him out of bed to trick-or-treat at Kenny's, and then went to the trunk or treat at the church down the road where we managed to gather a little candy before Logan puked on Mark's head and we decided it was time to head home.  There's always next year.  We went to the doctor's the next morning and left with a cocktail of 5 prescriptions.  Logan is now on the road to recovery.
