Tricks or Treats

We carved pumpkins as a family on Saturday night and the girls did surprisingly good this year. Normally they're all excited in the beginning but then it get's "too hard" and Brian and I end up finishing them. Natalie didn't know what to think of the pumpkin "guts". She just kept making this "uck" sound and shaking her head no. It was pretty funny! All of the carvings turned out pretty well.

Trick or treating was fun this year. The weather wasn't too bad, no one had strep throat, no one was crabby or tired. We went to our neighbors, Mike and Irenes house first. Natalie had NO idea what she was supposed to do but figured it out pretty quickly after learning she gets candy if she opens her bag. :) Then friends, Gracie, Jared, Ella, Luke and Levi stopped for treats at our house and a quick picture. We ended up going to our friends the Gracks, neighborhood and the kids went door to door and got WAY too much candy. We stayed and had pizza and veggies before diving into our children's buckets of sweets. It was a fun night even though it is not my favorite holiday. :)
