Halloween is very "-pooky," says Kai and Addie.
What turned into a COLD fall walk with our plastic pumpkins (to collect sticks) started off the night of pumpkin carving! Love this pic of Kai and Addie.
Everyone was excited about cutting the top off to see the pumpkin "guts." They even decided to wear their white tank tops together in case the guts were messy. LOL
Addie started off enthusiastic to help clean out the pumpkin, but she decided otherwise with the smell and slime. Kai and Daddy did all the dirty work! When Eli sat on the table to get in on the action, he enjoyed sticking his hand in the pumpkin and pulling them out quickly..... laughing when he touched the slime.
In fact, Kai loved the slime and guts. He's going to be a "man's man."
Addie did decide it would be okay for her to help gather the pumpkin seeds so we could oven roast them (which I burned this year ANd last year!) Funny though, she picked them up one at a time! Who is this girlie girl?
Our Pirate, Puppy, and Fairy. This pic is Halloween morning when this NBA player momma (my costume by day) took the kids to a nursing home with other friends to visit and show off our costumes. This is probably the only time of day Addie agreeably wore a costume. She wasn't into costumes this year.....maybe due to the scratchy fairy costume, coldness, or simply a bad mood. In the evening we took her costume off at Papa and MooMoo's house because she was so cranky about it and she refused to put it back on! MooMoo graciously found her some special dress-up clothes of Aunt Mimi's before we left so her costume would not be "naked toddler in tights" (thanks MooMoo).
I called him "Black Stache." Note the chest hair. He was pretty proud of that.
We had a great Halloween together with friends from our church, Alethia. We shared chili in the barn amongst the hay and toured a "-pooky" maze. The hubby and I's night costume was cowboy, redneck, hillbilly....or whatever you call John Deere and a cowgirl hat. :)
Then we went Trunk-or-Treating in a nearby field. A circle of cars and a few headlights kept kids in sight and able to walk from trunk to trunk to play carnival games and get candy. A first for me, but very great idea (especially for all our little guys).
Happy Halloween everyone. Hello November.
