Friday night was pumpkin carving night.
They actually didn't do much carving. Instead we had these kits with a bunch of what looked like colored golf tees. You push them into the pumpkin, put a battery powered light inside, and the "golf tees" light up in whatever pattern you chose.
Way less stressful than watching kids poke a giant melon with kitchen knives or miniature saw blades, and then attempt to light it on fire.
After being pestered all day Saturday about "how many more hours until Halloween?" we got them all dressed and headed out around the neighborhood.
Luke was terrified of his costume every time Paige tried it on him. On the big night however, it didn't even phase him. Somehow he knew candy was close at hand...
Literally the only picture we got of all four of them sitting in one spot. And Ella hadn't even had any sugar yet...
That would be ketchup, a hot dog, a princess, and mustard, in case you can't tell.
And off we went in the yearly attempt to teach our kids to say "thank you", to not complain about what people give them, and to not tromp through other people's yards...
For whatever reason, the hot dog got pretty much all the camera action going from house to house.
He was, however, very upset when ketchup, mustard, and princess got to go around a second block, and he had to hang out at the house with dad and hand out candy.
And finally, pictures of the loot...
(She could survive on only peanut butter cups if we let her)
Aaaaaand, probably more of the loot than you really wanted to see...
Happy Halloween!
