Halloween

All the fun Halloween traditions....

Carving pumpkins

The kids got into the carving this year and we had a fun time. Dallas got into it to... for some reason the whole thing was a race. Who could get the lid off first? Who could scoop out the inside first? Who could carve it first? I really just took my time, but every time I looked at Dallas he was in some sort of hurry :)

Didn't they turn out cute? I really like the kits and patterns you can buy :)

Halloween party (Joy School)

Spider cookies... 

Bingo... Evan LOVED this, I will have to play bingo with him again soon...

Painting pumpkins... The other mom's and I all agreed that we wouldn't have been brave enough to do this on our own :)

The whole crew....

Anna, Caleb, Sammy, Evan, Spencer, and Kiah

And Trunk or Treating

I don't think my kids will ever understand the concept of knocking on doors to get candy. Every year so far it has been a trunk or treat :) Well I guess last year was a combination between the two, but anyway....

We stopped at the celery bog on the way to the trunk or treat to take pictures of the kids. Evan was really cute in his bumble bee costume. Kiah was a grumpy little butterfly. It had been a long day and this was the last thing she wanted. None of the pictures of her really worked out, but I got this one at the trunk or treat. 

Evan wanted to be a dragon (again), but I talked him into being a bee to (kinda) match Kiah. It turned out pretty cute. At least he got to be a dragon at joy school. When anyone would ask what he was going to be for Halloween he'd say a dragon and a bee.

I am also trying to make pumpkin pie a Halloween tradition... I can't get enough of it during Thanksgiving and Christmas so why not start a little early? I am excited to eat it tonight to end the big Halloween week we had. Happy Halloween Everyone!
