(I know this is a bit out of order - I'm backtracking a bit to catch up! :)Our Halloween tradition begins with carving pumpkins in the backyard. We usually get the pumpkins at a pumpkin patch, making a morning of it,then pick up a couple (for whoever didn't go with us) at the grocery store. Then Mom and the kids start scooping out the goop, drawing faces, and carving them.
The older boys usually carve some gruesome face on theirs, but some of the best and funniest pumpkins are the most simple...ie. check out Ryan's pumpkin. I couldn't look at it without smiling. He drew the face and helped clean it out, Mom carved it.
Everyone loves to draw the faces and carve, but for some reason no one likes to help clean up! My goal - if it could possibly come into contact with pumpkin goop,line it with paper, and make cleanup as user-friendly as possible!
Kate's a sucker for holidays. She definitely gets the whole "festivities, food, excitement" thing.
Just me and my big brother Batman.
(Ryan's shirt says 'Do I really have to explain myself?)
Batman Colton, Princess Kate, and Ryan Kenobi headed over to Aunt Mimi's house a couple hours later for pizza and trick-or-treating. They live a block from my parents house, so the kids go trick-or-treating in the same neighborhood that Kevin and I did as kids. A lot of the same people answer the doors, too, which makes it fun.
Kate picked out her own outfit! She loves the whole 'princess' thing, and she knew what she wanted!
