And Mason came up with this really "scary" monster mask. He didn't want help with cutting out the eyes, and although you can barely see his eyeballs, he did a good job!
Next we spent hours making and decorating cookies to take to the ward party. This picture doesn't even show half of what we made. I decided sugar cookies are way more work than they are worth! 
The kids had a blast at our ward party. They played lots of games (like eating a donut off a string with no hands) and collected quite a load of candy. 
Saturday was the event of the year, a costume party thrown by one of Eric's fellow residents. Costumes were mandatory and we didn't have any on hand, so we created this lovely outfit for Eric at the local Salvation Army. I won't mention how many hours it took me to find sweatbands and knee socks with stripes, let's just say you better think those items make his outfit awesome!
I was a little more boring as a gypsy, but I wasn't about to succumb myself to the ridicule I knew Eric would endure. He cares much more about being funny than I do. Our boys had a great time at the party, despite the fact that they were the only kids - it meant more attention for them!
On Sunday the kids and I drove down to Baltimore to visit my friend Lisa, her husband Mike and their baby Ariel, who were visiting from Wisconsin to attend a surgical conference. They also have two adorable boys, who we missed greatly.

We spent most the day cruising the harbor on a water taxi and making stops at different locations along the waterfront. We ate in "little Italy" and listend to a lot of great street performers. It was a great day and it went way too fast. We miss you Lisa!
Well, I definitely need a nap today. All that excitement left me exhausted! Hope you enjoyed the lengthy report!
