Happy Halloween 2008!

Earlier this week, we carved our pumpkins. Avery enjoyed pulling out all of the slimey insides and Austin wanted nothing to do with them...that is until they were all out on the table and then he enjoyed flinging them around on his spoon. Boys will be boys!




We've had several opportunities to celebrate Halloween. Last weekend, there was a neighborhood party for the kids at the library. The kids also enjoyed a party at their school. When all of the kids are dressed up, they parade through each classroom and end up back in their own for Halloween treats! With all the parents rushing back and forth from room to room to help with their children, it gets a little crazy, but the kids get so excited to see their friends in costume.


After Austin's party was over, he hung out in the Pre-K class with Avery's friends.

Since we live in a large neighborhood, we really stock up on the candy to hand out...we had a steady stream of trick-or-treaters from 5 until after 7pm. I started with 100 pieces (well, I think it was a little less than 100...because when I went to empty the bags into the bowl...the bag had already been opened. Jon said I should return it to the store for a refund since the bag surely had already been opened......hmmmm, Jon---is that a new mole, or do you have chocolate on your face?!)

We just stayed outside, since it was so nice, and the kids handed out some candy before they went on their walk with Daddy. Grandpa and Nana came by with Pizza to end the night of festivities!



Happy Halloween from our house to yours!
