Pumpkin Carving and Halloween

Since we're actively looking to move, this was probably the kids' last Halloween in this house.  That is really weird to think about.  This year the kids each only got to carve one pumpkin unfortunately.  We were also unable to make it to the fun pumpkin patch.  One not so awesome thing about me working.  The boys still aren't real fond of the gooey insides.  Though they're starting to have a little more fun with it.   They're all starting to make more intricate designs on their pumpkins too.  That's fun to watch.  We watched a show called "Halloween Wars" where they do elaborate carvings combined with cake sculptures and candy decorations.  It's really cool, and also inspires the kids to be more imaginative. 

This was the first year we split up for Halloween.  Dillon went up to CJ's to trick or treat.  That ended up being a mistake, CJ got tired (it's really hilly up there) and so they stopped way early.  Kayda walked around our neighborhood with Ivy.  We went around with Carson and snagged his best friend Kailey.  They ended up with matching costumes, coincidence or design?  I have no idea.  Unfortunately in the chaos of kids going to different places I didn't snag a picture of Kayda or Dillon in costume. 

Our lovely town's candy generosity never disappoints!
