Happy Halloween

What a fun week! We did some pumpkin carving, had a Halloween party at Alice's daycare, and went Trick-or-Treating. I have photographic proof of all of these things! Look!


Alice with her own pumpkin. (Or, as she calls them "punchkins".) She got to color on it with markers, while Daddy and Auntie Carrie carved the two big pumpkins. I also kept the seeds and roasted them with butter and creole seasoning. They were awesome!


Carrie and Alice talking to Grandma and Grandpa on the computer.


Alice showing Daddy what she wants in the Toys R Us Christmas catalog.


Our punchkins, all lit up.


Alice can't wait to get to her Halloween Party.

Playing in the water with Thomas the Tank Engine and the Scream dude.


Alice got to decorate her own cookie, and she chose the black/green frosting. Can you tell?


A little family portrait.


Alice in her full Abby Cadabby outfit, with Zach as Elmo, and Auntie Joanna trying to keep them both from running away or fighting.


The motley crew of Trick-or-Treaters. The two mermaids are Ada and Mae Turman. The rest of the kids are kids of Adam and Sara Turman's friends. Quite a bunch to arrive at your door!


After being a little shy at the first house, Alice really got into it, and was pulling me to the next house and running. She did a really good job, and had a lot of fun saying "Trick-or-Treat" and "Thank You." By the end of the night, she was wheezing really bad, but she calmed down by bedtime.


After each house she would run back to me and Mommy yelling "MORE CANDY!"


Ok, these aren't ours, but I just saw them online, and they rule. Yo Gabba Gabba pumpkins. Hope you all had a Happy Halloween too!
