Halloween!!!

First we had to get ready for Halloween. You know the typical scraping out the pumpkin guts, which no one but Jason was willing to do; then I tried to cook pumpkin seeds, they all burned; then carve the pumpkin, where Sara got to show us her mad punching skills; and last make a gingerbread house. Wait wasn't that last one a little early, not in our house. We love playing with glue like frosting and candy pieces that we will never eat we found a way to do it for Halloween:)





On Halloween we started at Jason's Parent's Home for some super yummy soup and a chance to see all the kids in costume. We had a Hippy, a mermaid-technically Merlia from Barbie and the mermaid tail, Scooby Doo and Superman! Don't you just love how Sara is getting into character by practicing her mermaid face!




Even though it is no longer the most popular thing to do I wanted my kids to have a good year of just old fashioned trick or treating! We went to my Aunt Debbie's neighborhood and had a blast as the kids ran from house to house filling their pumpkins with candy. It took all night but I think by the last house they were remembering to say thank you and not just get excited about the wonderful candy they received!
