Halloween

Yes, it has been a long time but I thought I would give this blog thing another try. So I thought starting with the holidays would be a great time to do it. I realize that I should have posted all summer but it just didn't happen.

Well the day before Halloween we carved our pumpkins. The kids thought it was fun except for cleaning out the pumpkin. Emma thought it was fun to put the stuff back in.

Here I am with the kiddos. Oops.... we forgot to turn the pumpkin around for the picture. Evan was really into the skull thing for some reason. Daddy just had to add it to the picture.

Halloween day was a perfect day for this region. Not a cloud in the sky, no winds, cool and crisp. Just like a fall day should be. ( I know you in other warmer climates disagree but we like it like this in the north land.) Here is Emma in her costume. Emma was a cookie. She hates to wear things on her head and you can forget about putting anything on her face. So I tried to find the easiest costume there was. (not to mention overpriced)

Here is Evan in his costume. He went as Thomas the Train. Although the day before he really wanted to be a ghost. But he quickly forgot about that. He was so excited to get candy!!!

All in all in was a great Halloween!! The kids really got it this year and it was fun to watch. Now I need I need to shed a few pounds ( well more) from all the candy I consumed.
