HALLOWEEN!

The weekend before Halloween Daddy helped the girls carve their pumpkins.  Zora dug right in to help clean out the "pumpkin guts", but Lily REFUSED.  Daddy carved and Zora cleaned them out.  They each got to pick what their pumpkin's face would look like.  They each drew their face on a sheet of paper then Joel drew it onto the pumpkin for them and cut it out...

(If you're wondering what the blob between the nose and the mouth is...that's a booger.  
Gross, I know, but that's what Lily wanted!)

For Halloween this year I had a bride, a cowgirl, and a farmer!

 Halloween cuties!

Our first celebration was at playgroup on October 28th.  We had a lot of fun and tasty treats with all of our playgroup friends.  It was fun to see their costumes too! One of my friend's little boy was the cutest Winnie the Pooh I've ever seen!
And Seth enjoyed some time with his Poppy Joe at playgroup that day!

Then on Sunday the kids got to dress up again for our church's Trunk-Or-Treat celebration.

Finally, on Halloween night we went to the Bowden's house and met up with several of our friends to enjoy trick-or-treating in their neighborhood.  Afterward we stopped by another friend's house and the girls had fun adding to their costumes...

We ended the evening with a short trip to Papa and Nana's house.  It was a great weekend.  Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with the 3 huge bowls of candy that we have at our house...any suggestions?!?!?!?!?

I saw one suggestion that you glue the hard candy (Skittles, Starburst, Jolly Ranchers, etc.) to stiff paper and use it to make decorations for other holidays... I was pretty intrigued. I love the costumes, and I love the pumpkins. It cracked me up that Miss Lily didn't want to dig out the guts... I figured she'd be right in there!
