Halloween

Maya worked very hard on her pumpkin carving this year.

From start to finish she was very diligent in her task.

(Owen ran upstairs at the stench of the pumpkin guts:)

A good mother would have taken photos of the final product.

So, um, sorry, but Halloween came at a high-intensity grading period and there are no 'after' shots. :(

But here are some of them with their cousins in their costumes:

Skeleton, Ninja, Owl and Butterfly (in case it isn't clear).
