Pumpkins, Spider man and a Butterfly

Happy Halloween!!!

Our kids have been really excited this week.  It started out as a warm week, they were playing in the few leaves left in the yard that Shawn hasn't picked up.  After soccer last Sunday we decorated our pumpkins.  In past years we have carved our pumpkins.  Not only is it a mess but we end up all aggravated with one another.  This year I went a different route.  The potato head route!  The kids love it.

Will and the pirate!

The four of them.

Every time we enter or exit via the front door the kids ooh and aah at their creations.  They are pretty darn cute!! 

Last night was Trick or Treat here at the lake.  Shea was so excited, she wanted to know why she had to go to school that day.  She thought it was a "holiday".  Ah, to be a kid again!  Will was super excited about getting candy.  That's all he wanted.  We kept trying to explain that he had to say trick or treat to get it.  He said no very loud followed with candy.

This year our friend Elizabeth brought her golf cart over.  This helped us out so much!  The kids could ride down longer drive ways, go further around the lake and huddle to stay warm.  It turned really cold outside, just in time for our two hour adventure.  I dressed the kids in many layers.  Shawn told me Will looked like the kid from A Christmas Story.  Whether he did or not he never complained of being cold!  The Todd family and the Finke family came over after school and we had dinner and then dressed all the kids.  I think they were just as excited to be together.  It was a lot of fun.

Our group of Trick or Treaters!!  Good looking if I say so myself.

We all had a fun night and the kids have an over-flowing large bowl of candy.  I guess we'll have to eat our way out of this one!!  I have to say, I'm so proud of our kids.  They came home and we inspected the load.  Of course they wanted some.  However, they did ask if they could have their apple with two pieces of candy.  Will negotiated for two pieces.  We obliged, it's beggars night!

Today as Shea's school is their Harvest Party.  Will and I will be going, he's excited to sit with his Shea-Shea.  Tomorrow we continue celebrating with Bri and Brandon's birthday's and the Buckeye game.  Ending the weekend with our last soccer game.  Hopefully the kids have a howling good time!
