Halloween

This year, our Halloween was jeopardized by yet another typhoon coming in.  Fortunately, it was mostly wind and little rain, so even though we lost power, we were still able to go out in the neighborhood to trick-or-treat.  The boys have been really into Star Wars lately, even though we haven't let Laird watch the movies.  Having Jeffrey tell Laird about them was apparently enough to spark fanatical interest.  So this year we went with a Star Wars theme.

Apparently pumpkins are in pretty short supply here in the Philippines, and Sheralie was lucky to find even one.  For the rest, we had to settle for the close cousin, squash.  Sheralie and the kids put together an impressive display.

The hair provided a nice cover for Lucy as it did rain on and off during our trick or treating.

The Broadbent Jedi

The light sabers are in almost constant use, with the blue light saber being the favorite.

Sheralie was a very good looking Princess Leia as well, but declined the opportunity for a photograph.
