Halloween is upon us! With October drawing to an end, it was time for Elise to quickly finish the costumes. In preparation for the big day, we carved out the pumpkins on Wednesday night. While Jacob was completely hands on and arms in, Henry was a bit more tentative about the slime. Each boy was able to design (draw) their own pumpkin face with help from Mom, who then carved them out. It was a pretty exciting night, and we got to make use of our sweet new aprons (from the orange big box hardware store).
After dinner on Friday, we bundled everyone up and into their costumes to make the rounds. It was a bit chilly, hovering around freezing with some wind, so the kids were a bit sparse overall. It was a short but good night, with a fair amount of candy to replenish our reserves.
