Kids Halloween

While I am WAY behind on my posts, I'm going to do what I can to catch up!

To start, I figure I should talk about Halloween! Once again, despite having a whole 10 months to prepare, Oct. 31st always seems to creep up too fast! We have lots of stuff to decorate with but never get around to putting it out. One of the good things that came out of this year was a family pumpkin carving session with my family! It was entertaining to see the kids (and adults) trying to carve pumpkins. Of course, with my family there was mess and chaos! While scooping the guts from one pumpkin I actually knocked the bin of seeds I was saving all over the floor. And being wet and slimy, the little buggers slid halfway around the house! Just what I needed! Jonathan and Genevieve did a great job carving and had a blast. I had to help Jonathan put the finishing touches on his pumpkin 'cause carving was getting tough!

Halloween night was pretty good. Jonathan was a ninja and Genevieve...a princess of course! Ann Marie even got dressed up as Raggedy Ann! LOL This year was her turn to take out the kids since I have done it every year since Jonathan was born! She always wants to hand out the candy! Don't know why in our neighborhood. Less than half of the houses actually participated this year and less than half the kids were wearing costumes worth looking at. It's a shame. Well, as long as my kids had fun, I'm happy. We also had a surprise visit from Athan "Wee Man" Turner! He was dressed up as the cutest little pumpkin! Uncle Matt made sure to spoil him with lots of chocolate treats! LOL Well, Guess it's time to get ready for Christmas!
