"The Juice Joint"

The Kendrick adults had a murder mystery dinner for Halloween. It was set in a speak easy in the 1920's. We had a great time! Coming up with a costume for me was a bit tricky given my large tummy, but we managed. Doing my short hair flapper-style was a lot of fun!

Kendrick Kid Halloween Party

It's October! Last Saturday, the Kendricks had a Halloween party just for the under-12 set. It was great! They had hot dogs, decorated cupcakes, colored on pumpkins, and of course, had a piñata. This year, Kandy is a Japanese girl, Missy is Jasmine, Sunny is Cinderella, and Buster is Winnie the Pooh. Unfortunately, I took off his jacket so it wouldn't get messy for the food, so he's not wearing it in the pictures. Oh, well.

Buster gets a swing at the piñata (the swinging tombstone).
He took less coaching than some of our kids.

Kandy's turn!

Missy takes a whack.

Sunny's turn

At some point the bat was being re-taped, and Buster decided to use the chopsticks Kandy had taken out of her hair to go after the piñata. His 7-year-old cousin was very worried, but I told him Buster had no chance of breaking it with chopsticks!

That thing did not want to break! After falling off the rope a second time (all the kids had 2 turns), we dumped the candy out of the hole in the top.

Buster, wanting to do it all over again!
