Lemme Halloween Parade 2010

 The parade started with the Lemme Leopard, of course!

Sam's class was lead by his teacher and him!

Here are some other costumes we liked, especially Max.  A hotdog:

R2-D2- very cool!  but needed assistance in walking!  It even had a panel on the front with lite-brite peg buttons that really lit up!

 Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head:

Where's Waldo and a giant rubber ducky:

Will:

 Ghostbuster Ghost:

A ninja banana:

Can you tell that Sam put on his costume and facial hair all by himself?  I sure do love that boy - even with eyebrows on his temples.

Sam is 7!

 Sam turned 7 on October 18th!   Laura had these letters taped to the outside of his present.  He was funny to watch when we read the words aloud to him.  He tried to act each one out.

We celebrated with hy-vee brownies - no homemade anything this year due to the state of the kitchen.

Will's present was this gargoyle he made at school:

He invited a few friends to the children's museum for an afternoon.  Turns out it was free day and to top it off, not even crowded!  We ended the party with a big cookie from the cookie place.  Blech.  (Don't recommend.)
