Happy Halloween!!

We're a little behind schedule this year.  We usually carve pumpkins a week or more before Halloween.  It got done today.  The kids don't mind and the pumpkins will stay on the front steps until they start to sag.  I just have to mention how much I really, really, REALLY dislike pumpkin gut slime!!!!!!!  But, my  hands are washable and I got through it.  My sister-in-law was here and she helped with Jared's pumpkin.  Ronan even got to use his own knife!  Okay, so it was a butter/table knife.  He still did really well with the carving!  The pumpkins are all different sizes because we have a strict rule in our house- when picking out a pumpkin, you have to be able to lift it and carry it to the cart.  If you can't, pick a different one!!!  No complaints so far.

The kids love Halloween.  I had 2 military guys, 'Prince of Persia', Batman and some sort of 'grunge' Sleeping Beauty.  I even got out of walking the neighborhood with them when my sister-in-law offered to take them around while I stayed home to hand out candy.  I managed to get photos with 4 of the kids but Brandon took off to a friend's party before I caught him on camera.
Once they got home, the kids had tons of fun answering the door and handing out candy.  I got a video of that.  They are so darn hilarious.
And so we begin, the longest stretch of sugar highs of the year.
