Costumes... Finally!

I had to bribe Miles with candy to get his costume on. He loved it once it was on, though!
Poor Brooklyn coughed right as I snapped the picture, but I had to post it because Miles looked so darn cute!
Brooklyn... Snow Queen
Riley... Princess
Miles...Dragon

Pumpkin Carving

The kids picked out a LARGE pumpkin
Brooklyn got this small sugar pumpkin at a pumpkin patch during a field trip for school. Miles thought it was perfect...Just his size!
Checkin' out those pumpkin guts... Gross!
Closing it up... the carving had to wait another day due to bedtime.
Hooray!! Carving Time!!
The Final Product
Happy Halloween

Halloween

Today is Halloween! I can't believe it. The kids are so excited. Justin's mom, Mary, made their costumes again this year, which turned out perfectly! Brooklyn is a Snow Queen, Riley is a Princess, and Miles is a Dragon. I have yet to get a good picture of him. He likes the costume... just not on him. Tonight we're going to the Trunk-or-Treat at church. The kids have candy on the brain! Fortunately it's daylight savings, so if the kids stay up late because they're so full of sugar, at least they'll get an extra hour of sleep! And so will we. :) Justin and I aren't really costume people. Maybe next year. Besides the candy, the kids loved carving pumkins. We did it in two nights. The first night, we just cut the tops off and let them take a look inside. The next night, we actually pulled all the pumpkin guts out and carved the faces. Surprisingly, Miles thought it was disgusting and didn't want to touch the pumpkin guts. He touched it once and refused after that to help clean them out. Brooklyn couldn't get enough of it! Riley could take it or leave it. They all loved the end product though!
