Halloween!

Heading to the "trunk or treat" kid's carnival and then off to trick-or-treat with cousins, Colton (the ninja) and Cody (the skeleton).  They say parents should dress their kids in bright, light-colored costumes...apparently, we forgot about that!

Trick-or-treating. 

This year, pumpkin carving meant we all got excited while looking through a carving book we checked out at the library.  After deciding on the perfect carvings, we traced templates on paper and the kids cut them out and helped trace them onto the pumpkins.  Then Dave and I cut open the tops and we all started the "gutting" process.  After about 3 minutes, the kids disappeared upstairs.  After about 10 minutes, Dave disappeared into the living room.  After about 60 minutes, the pumpkins were finished!
