Trick or Treats!

For FHE we carved our pumpkins. The kids insisted that the pumpkins have scary faces. I tried to talk them into something funny or cute, but to no avail. Our FHE project ended with roasted pumpkin seeds.


My Spiderman, Skunk, and Cheerleader.



Spiderman really had some good moves!

Lily loved the parade, especially all the candy she came home with.

By the end of the night, my little skunk had a poop blowout in his costume. The costume fittingly stunk pretty bad.

We love Halloween at our house, especially Kenny. He decorates the house inside and out every year and insisits that we have real carved pumpkins lit out on the front porch. This year he took the kids trick or treating, including for the first time, little Max, who thought the whole thing was a blast. Earlier in the day, we watched Lillian march down Fairview's main street with the elementary school's halloween parade. Iven was just glad to be feeling better since the day before he had the flu and had to miss his preschool party. He was just about as devastated as a little boy could be, but feeling better on Halloween and able to go trick or treating and eat lots of candy, made him in much better spirits. Every year my mom makes homemade donuts on Halloween and so we went trick or treating at her house first to get the hot donuts right out of the grease. In addition to all the yummy treats and fun memories, we got a special treat on Halloween this year. KrisAnn (Kenny's sister) and Corey had their baby girl! Congratulations! They named her Siena and all is going well.
