Happy Halloween!

I love how Halloween actually gets to last longer than one day! Well.. it gets to here.. this year anyway. This past weekend we got to carve jack-o-lanterns! This is the first year Landen has really been able to help since he was born. It came to our thoughts as we were making them, how once you have children things really change. We used to make nice elaborate cravings (Kurt did, I tried!!) and this year, it was just simple faces. Another afterthought... we probably should have done just smiling faces instead of these spooky looking faces. There's always next year.

We have Landen with his first experience with pumpkin guts! Landen carving and the finished lit product... our scary faces! =)

Yesterday we got to go trick or treating at Kurt's work. I'm so thankful they have this for the children. We do not take Landen out and about treating.. and he got more than enough candy. Amelia did really well in her little pea pod outfit, until she started sweating. I had to take it off before we were finished. =) Here they both are!

Tonight we are going to hand out candy here at our house. I like to take tally of how many children we get and what each of them are. We're going to do some monitoring for scary costumes though and distract Landen. I don't want him to get scared of them! We went to story time today and I dressed Landen up. He didn't have his face all painted up, but he was still cute. There were some other cuties as well.. Buzz Light Year... and Liesie was an adorable Nurse! Landen gets to dress up again tonight! This costume is gonna get it's wear after all.

Then tomorrow we will go to Mass after Kurt gets off work for All Souls Day. I like that we have Mass to help us remember what this day is all about as well. =)
!Have a Happy Halloween Everyone!
