Halloween

Now that Grayson is getting a little older, I was really looking forward to him experiencing some holiday fun! Turns out he didn't enjoy the pumpkin carving, he stuck the spoon in the pumpkin only long enough to declare it as "yucky" hopped down from the chair & he was done for the night! Luckily, my other two bigger boys were really into it!

Both Owen & Noah went to the pumpkin farm with their class on a field trip. They each brought home good sized pumpkins and wanted to carve them themselves. Noah, is still a bit young & lacks the hand strength anyways, so he had quite a bit of help - but he did clear out most of the pumpkin goo by himself.



Besides cutting the top off of the pumpkin - Owen did his pumpkin completely by himself :) so grown up now!

This was the pumpkin Owen chose at the farm. I had to laugh at the shape of it & wondered why he ever would have chosen it lol. My guess is it was one of the bigger ones :) After we cut the top off & scooped out the pumpkin, we realized we actually cut off the bottom lol. Given the shape of the pumpkin it was best we did it the way we did - it never would've been able to sit up on it's own :)



The finished kids pumpkins!

Owen wanted to be a race car driver. He had his hopes set to get a battery operated car to drive around trick-or-treating, but that was never going to happen. He gave it a good try though.


Grayson wore an old navy dragon costume that both Owen and Noah had wore previous halloweens. It's fun to see things reappear :)


Noah borrowed a power ranger costume from a friend & we were thankful that it fit! He had his heart set on being a power ranger. His backup plan was to be a hamburger (a costume we already have) and he wasn't too keen on that. Just prior to going trick-or-treating he ditched the mask because it wasn't comfortable.


My 3 cuties!



Our front porch with all of our pumpkins. We decorated some with daycare, carved some & Noah won the big one at school :) he was pretty proud of himself for winning it. It would've been a challenge to get it home, but we found another mom at the school that offered to drive it home for us :)


Hannah came for our annual trick-or-treating adventure :) 


This creepy blow up decoration kept Noah & Hannah from going up to the house for candy, but surprisingly it didn't deter Owen.


Grayson went to the houses on our street & was dropped off early - so the bigger kids could go on to get more candy. I was surprised by how much candy my youngest got from just a handful of houses. I think they have enough candy to last the entire year! Happy Halloween!
