So Halloween just passed and we are now preparing for Thanksgiving. We have to clean the garage out so I can get to M's old clothes so D can wear them in the cooling season. Face it where we are there isn't a huge demand for long sleeves and coats. But I love seeing the boys in layered tees and long sleeves. So cute. E loves doing that too. But we know that she is a cool one. She always has a sweatshirt or hoodie in her back pack just in case she gets cold in the classroom. I find that very cute. She is just like her grandma Sokol and great grandma Dragon.
Here are some pictures from Halloween. The kids had so much fun it was great. We had gone to a trunk er treat at the church the previous Wednesday so no one felt pressure to go overboard with hitting the whole neighborhood. Just our street and one over and then we were in for the night to eat mummy hot dogs coleslaw and green punch.... with a touch of candy. Thursday night we carved pumpkins... normally I forget and we don't do it but this year they were on sale and the kids got excited about it. So we let them each pick out their own design... kinda. D's got picked out by M since we couldn't get him to pick something other than his beloved ELMO. Hee hee. I didn't feel like carving Elmo that night. I was kinda tired. And Scott was going to pick up his dad from the airport so he couldn't help too much past drawing all of these on the pumpkins for me and carving M's scary face.
Well when we first cut open the tops and told the kids to pull the 'guts' out this is what happened.
Now D thought that it was great. He grabbed a spoon and dug right in. He loved it.
And what can I say. M thinks that all veggies are yucky. He refuses to eat them and hates the smell of them. He even doesn't like the smell of peanuts so he nolonger eats chocolate with peanuts. He had a candy bar last week and tried to throw it away when I told him that it had peanuts in it. He then decided to save it for daddy. Weird thing.... he loves PBnJs. But daddy is the opposite hates peanut butter and loves peanuts. Silly boys.
Our Jack Skellington pumpkin was a favorite among the trick or treaters.
Here are the pumpkins lit up Halloween night on the drive way.
D was a scarecrow, M was a robot alien ( loved the green paint and silver lips), E was half pretty bride half Frankinstine's monsters bride. She came up with the idea last summer. They all had so much fun.
Ahhh I can't wait till next year to see what they want to be. But for now I think that I'll just enjoy them the way that they are.
