Halloween Fun

Halloween is always such a fun time with fun traditions. We were really glad to get back to enjoying those traditions here.

The boys carved their pumpkins Wednesday, the night before Halloween. We had a really fun time and they turned out cute. Isaac's pumpkin was super hard and a big one. They love getting all the seeds and "guts" out. Isaac also has to save all the seeds to toast. He is a boy after his mother's heart.

Here's the final product. Ethan wanted his to say boo. Isaac's has a tiny nose and huge front tooth. Owen's pumpkin was supposed to have two teeth, but they broke off during construction.

Here's my little minions. They are adorable! I had to chase Isaac and Ethan down to get this picture. They were off and running the entire time. Their goggles are made out of PVC pipe. I had to saw, drill and paint. At least I gained some confidence with the power tools.

Owen had to catch a ride so we could catch up with the rest of the crew.

Owen did not want to trick-or-treat at first, but once he found out what it was all about he was off and running. He ran to every single house in the cul-de-sac. It was adorable.

When I asked the boys who wanted to be the minion who had one eye, Ethan said right away that he wanted the one big eye. He is always up for being silly. The boys got so much candy. Ethan said, "I got so much candy somebody had to give me a grocery sack because my pumpkin was full."

When Isaac got home he said that he went to "every single house with their light on!" He, Scott and Ethan also went over to one little street with three houses. We have never covered that much ground.

I love that's we always trick-or-treat with our whole neighborhood plus some. Here is the crew this year.

Ethan had a little project for school. He had to decorate a pumpkin like a book character. It worked out great because we had just finished reading Pippi Longstocking. She made a great pumpkin.
