Happy Halloween!

We all carved pumpkins last Sunday.  Brian did all of the actual carving and the boys and I helped scoop out all the goop and the slime so that we could make faces on the front of all the pumpkins.  The boys really got into this and Colton wanted to help everyone out.  Colton moved around the table helping with all three of the pumpkins.  They were great helpers!  The other thing the boys were excited about was roasting the pumpkin seeds.  They had to seperate the seeds from the slime and put them into a bowl so we could clean them and roast them.  They turned out really great and the boys were excited to get to try them that evening.

 
Here is our little family of superheroes!  Thor, Spiderman, Baby Superman!  I dressed up as Wonder Woman to go trick or treating last night but I did not dress up for this picture that we took last weekend!  Trick or treating was a blast!  They both loved running from house to house to get candy.  Austin would get a piece of candy and yell "Cowabunga! or Yeah Baby!" as he ran to the next house!  It was so fun to get to see!  Colton would get a piece of candy and then he would want to hold my hand and he would repeat, "Need more candy, need more candy." as he would run to the next house!  Colton kept up with Austin pretty well and then decided to slow down and go at his own pace.  So, Austin kept up with Jake, Zoey, Marlee and Maddie while Colton and I hung out with Sarah and Charlee.  This seemed to also go quite well.  After about an hour of trick or treating Colton and Charlee were done so we headed back to Sarah's and the little kids got to hand out candy to the people who rang the doorbell.  They were pretty selective about who they gave candy too and would only open the door if the trick or treaters weren't too scary!
 
Austin:  "I love trick or treating more than anyone else in the entire universe!"
Colton:  "Mama, I really like eating treats!"
 
I would definitely call this years halloween a huge success!
 

Our happy little pumpkin Gavin!
