Happy Halloween

We've been busy lately so we were behind on doing pumpkins, so we bought them last night and decorated them today. A few years ago, my mom bought the kids sets to make the pumpkins like potato heads, so that speeds up the decorating for the kids at least, and they have a good time doing it.


Cole wanted to be Luke Skywalker again this year:

Lindsay was Gabriella:

And Bailey was a pirate:

Getting ready to go to our neighbor's for a party:

I didn't make Charlie dress up this year (last year I put a Superdog cape on him), but I thought that if I just left him in the house, he'd go nuts with all the people around. So I took him outside with me while we were handing out candy and he did really well. For the most part. He actually started to want to bark and snapped at our next door neighbor for some reason, but with the kids and the rest of the adults, he just wanted to sniff them and jump up on them. But, I kept telling him to sit and so he did. Not bad for his second Halloween:
The kids ended up with a pretty good haul this year, more than most years. And even though I'm a party pooper and made them come home at nine, I think they had a good time.
