Happy Halloween


This year the kids really seem to "get it!"  We carved a pumpkin last night for the first time.  We had gotten pumpkins other years, but didn't carve them...  
School had lots of activities that were fun - cookie decorating, pumpkin decorating, and a parade... but the most fun was the informal following around of the kid in Joseph's class, Andre, who wore a Mr. Incredible costume.  Poor Andre...
We visited Daddy at work too.
Trick or Treating was fun because we got to meet many of our neighbors..  well, the kids liked the candy better.  They didn't try to go into people's houses this year.  They got a big kick out of it if there were pets at the houses though, and they didn't want to stop trick or treating - "one more house!"  Oh, Anthony is pretty scared of moving, talking skeletons, but Joseph thinks they're cool.  :)

Happy to hear you had a great Halloween...especially since it was the kids' first time in a new area! Weather was fantastic here for the trick or treaters...but we only had 20-25 kids stop by. :o(

I started looking @ blogs last night & today - I didn't realize I "missed" halloween. Sigh - well, hopefully I get bigger & better things out of this.
