Wizard and ninja in the house!

And this is what's done with the candy when it's not being sorted and counted and traded - until Tuesday when they sell it to one of the local dentists who buys it from the kids by the pound and ships it to the troops overseas - win win!

Dad's birthday and pumpkin carving! Lila and dad and mom were too sick to have the rest of the family over so it was intimate this year...

This was the family that I was commissioned to paint for their Halloween party. :)
