Happy Halloween!!!

Woohoo! Another posting and it's not even been a week...ha ha! The boys have had a blast today! They really love Halloween. This is the FIRST year that Austin actually helped carve a pumpkin. he usually gags at the smell and can't even stay in the kitchen, but this year he carved his own. His art work is the bat pumpkin. Logan actually (mostly) carved his too. I drew it out for him, and he cut out the black parts. He wanted to do a silly face. The spider one was done by yours truly. I was proud of my boys and their handy work! Glad to finally have some help with them!
Here they are, all aglow (sp?)!

Here are my little Clone Troopers in front of the spooky police helicopter.

Trick or Treating was different this year. Since Roger was home with his hurt foot, it was just me and the boys. We just walked up and down our street, and the boys' pumpkins were full and heavy just from that. (We have sweet neighbors) As we walked and trick or treated I kept thinking of Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween book and giggling in my head because the boys kept fussing about how sweaty their masks were (and their hair was wet from sweat...yuck!), and how hard it was to see out of them because they were getting all foggy, and how it was hard to breathe with it on and see where they were walking. Once we got home and they dumped all their candy out on the table, they forgot all about the costume discomfort! Wonder what time I'll get them to bed with their sugar highs? Ha ha!!!

They used the pumpkin safety knives...so it was safe, and I was RIGHT there with Logan (and beside Austin). ;)

See What We Have Going On...
