Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. As the kids get older it gets more fun but there is a window that seems smaller and smaller that Halloween is what I remember as a kid. We all carved pumpkins in the afternoon which was a lot of fun. Meg and Aubrey put stickers on their pumpkins which is the best idea ever because they still feel like a part of it but don't get frustrated because of the mess and the fact that they can't use any of the things you use to carve a pumpkin. Cory has become the master "pumpkin sculpter" and even went to a craft store a couple days ago to get special pumpkin carving tools and did a practice pumpkin a few days ago as well. As soon as we were done carving pumpkins the teenagers left to go get ready for Halloween parties so we didn't see them the rest of the night.
Trick-or-treating was fun. The big girls are still young enough to enjoy it. Meg was funny, she was actually surprised that people were giving her candy when she said trick-or-treat. She also thought it was funny that nobody could recognize who she was with her costume on.
