Happy Halloween!

The kids were so excited yesterday, they were almost literally bouncing off the walls. They could not sit still or be quiet - and they hadn't even had any candy yet. The anticipation of the evening's festivities was almost too much for my two little ones - Halloween! - where you get to dress up in fun costumes, beg for candy, and actually get to eat it!

Payton was Aurora this year and Ian was Bumblebee. They went trick or treating with some friends, escorted by Daddy, while I got to stay home to hand out candy.

After their acquired enough loot to make their pumpkin baskets heavy enough to complain about, they came home.

Then they had fun answering our door and handing out candy to other trick or treaters.

This was the pumpkin we carved this year. Payton helped, a little. She stuck her hand in to retrieve seeds about  four times. I told the kids, that if they didn't help, I wasn't going to carve pumpkins. Ian did not care. He sat by and put together a Lego thing.

The pumpkin was Payton's design....

Then she decided to, ah....dress her up.

Pumpkin Jester?

Pumpkin Pirate?

Pumpkin Princess?

Happy Halloween!
