Halloween

Well, like everyone else, we celebrated Halloween. I'm a clean freak and don't like my kids getting goop and stuff on their clothes. So, they had to take their shirts off for carving pumpkins. They had a great time and had no fear of the slimy inards of a pumpkin.

Looks a bit like a skeleton, eh?

This is Audrey's pumpkin. I made and carved the face.

This is Richard's pumpkin. He drew the face and I carved what he drew.

Right before trick-or-treating.

We went trick-or-treating the night before Halloween. Right as we were about to go out, it started to hail! So, we waited a few more minutes until it calmed down. I had no idea when the weather would let up, so we went out even though it was still raining. We bundled up with coats and an umbrella and Marie and Peter were in the covered stroller. We didn't go very far before Audrey started asking to go home (I did make her put on pants before we left.) About another block later, Peter started whining. He was full on wailing a few houses later. I was lucky enough to be with the dad of Richard's and Audrey's friends, and so Richard went off with them and I brought my kids and Audrey's friend to my house. They were glad to warm up. 

We didn't get as many trick-or-treaters as I expected, and so we have TONS of candy left! I guess it's because the weather was so poor.

Happy Halloween!
