Our wonderful Halloween!

We had a great time getting ready for Halloween this year. On Wednesday we carved pumpkins. Rachel did a GREAT job cleaning out her pumpkin and even helped Kevin clean out his when her pumpkin was all done. Aidan had some snacks and supervised...

Rachel decided the shape for her mouth, nose and eyes to make a "scary face" and Mom carved it out for her. This year I decided to do a face with Rachel and Kevin, being the wonderful hubby he is decided to make a "Twilight" pumpkin for me to enable my addiction (www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilightseries.html). I think they turned out wonderful!

Halloween Day: I got them all decked out in pumpkin garb and got a couple pictures before they left for daycare.

The kids had a costume party at Daycare, so Linda was already going to have Aidan in his costume and Rachel into the bulk of hers (like I was going to send fairy wings with a 3 year old to daycare), so when we got home, Rachel got a couple snacks, Aidan nursed and we waited for Kevin to get home from Dr. Julie's (www.aboutlifechiropractic.com/) so he could take them out for a little while and I could get the pizza in the oven. A friend of mine from work came over (She's our Halloween buddy) and she and I took Rachel back out after dark. Rachel hit the motherload as every house would let her grab handfuls or give her a handful themselves. She was good at saying "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you", even if at times it was only a whisper. Here are some pictures of the kids waiting for Kevin to get home.

Overall, the night was good and the kids made it to bed at a decent time. We had a few trick or treaters and Rachel seemed to enjoy herself! Mr. Blonde on the other hand was exhausted by the whole process....
