Halloween '08


Halloween was so fun this year. These pumpkins are our second attempt at carving. Our first pumpkins were really cool, we had a wolf howling at the moon and a skull but we carved them a bit early so in Hank's words "they died". Hank and I carved these on Halloween then we went to Sarah's school to see her class in their costume parade. Hank loved all the kids dressed up. The kids and I were jamming out to any Halloween music we could find all day--Hank's favorite was "Ghostbusters". Finally trick-or-treating time came so all of the cousins came over. I love this picture-Dyson is trying so hard to wrangle Max! Things were completely out of control when Lucy and Isabel came, so I didn't get any cute pictures of them but Lucy was a High School Musical cheerleader and Isabel was Belle.


This is the best picture I could get of Hank and Max together--Max had a slight accident before this picture. He fell of our front step and scraped up his face. Poor little guy! It didn't seem to bother him much.



Hank was such a trooper with his mask on, but he got really sweaty and took it off half way through trick-or-treating. He was really fun this year--so excited about everything.
All the grandparents came over for soup and cornbread and we had yet another fantastic Griffin Party. I absolutely love having everyone together and kids make holidays so much fun!

Max's poor face looks worse today, but he is still adorable! My little bruiser!
