We had a very fun weekend celebrating Halloween. Friday night we carved our two pumpkins that we harvested from our garden. Millie was even brave enough to dig out the pumpkin guts.
The kids loved watching Tom do the carving.
Here Millie shows off her design, and the finished product.
Once the carving was finished, we turned out the lights and ate homemade caramel popcorn while we watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
Then today, the kids put up some "spooky" decorations, and waited eagerly to hand out candy. "Enter if you dare"
We made homemade pizza with pepperoni as a special treat. (This is supposed to resemble a jack-o-lantern in case you can't tell!)
And Millie and I made cobweb cookies.
Here was our first attempt at a picture of the kids in costume. The boys' costumes are pretty obvious. Millie is a "butterfly princess". Yes, that was her idea.
Second try. Isaac still wouldn't stand still.
Of course, leave him on his own, and he was happy to smile for the camera!
Silas was thrilled to be Spiderman for the night. Although Spidey had a hard time making it all the way around the block. He kept saying he had "enough candy" and wanted to go home. We realized later that his bucket was too heavy because one of our neighbors was handing out cans of soda.
Hope you had a fun Halloween too!
