Trick or Treating

Our town was one of the few who postponed the trick or treating to Friday night due to bad weather.  The only problem with that was that the weather was fine from 4-7 on Halloween night and actually fairly warm.  Wally and I weren't too happy about changing the date and of course Luke wasn't either.  He had been looking forward to it all day!

We decided to put the kids in their costumes anyways and see if our neighbors were home to do at least some trick or treating on Halloween.





And they're off!





After no one answered at the neighbors, they trick or treated at their own house - the cutest trick or treaters I had!



Daddy decided to bring some of his Halloween science demonstrations home with him.

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

Finally Friday evening came around and our neighborhood was hopping with kids in costumes!

This is how our kids roll for trick or treating!



Luke was out for over 2 hours with Wally but Paige didn't last quite that long. Both kids made out very well!!!!

Halloween Party!

Luke's class Halloween party was a lot of fun this year!

They started off with some dirt and worms!



Paige was able to have some too!



Then it was time for a couple of art projects!



These two are buddies!



The class minus 2 - they have had a lot of sick kids lately, but so far we have been able to avoid it!



The kids got to put their treats in each other's bags.



This was Luke's treat this year - this is about as creative as I get! Well, actually the idea was from Pinterest, but this is about as far as I go with homemade treats!



The kids sang a few songs for us!



Sibling love!





And last but not least, the kids paraded in the halls for us (it was a very rainy, yucky day!).

Pumpkin Carving

Getting ready to carve!



This year I was a pumpkin :)



I thought for sure Luke would love cleaning the pumpkin out this year, but just like the last 2 years, he wasn't a fan - but he tried!











Paige wasn't so sure about it herself!









Luke did enjoy helping to carve out the face though!





All done!   They both have big beautiful eyes :)



Paigey's mini pumpkin she picked out!



Now it was time for some Frankenstein pudding!





Luke was super excited to see his pumpkin all lit up!

Ghosts Around The Green

We are always sure to hit up some Halloween festivities to make sure we get plenty of use out of our costumes.  The last 2 years we have done a trick or treat trail, but this year we headed to downtown Frankfort for Ghosts Around The Green.

The first part was a Trunk or Treat...



Stacey, Michael, Fiona and my parents joined us this year. Fi was the cutest little Minnie Mouse!



After the Trunk or Treat there was trick or treating in all of the shops.









A gigantic pixie stick - yikes!!!!



The girls!



And the whole crew - we had to bribe Luke with some of his candy to get him to sit!



The photographer we use has a studio downtown and they were taking complimentary pictures - so cute!





Fiona LOVES animals!!!



We had some lunch downtown and then headed back home for some pumpkin carving and Halloween treats!

It was a fun day!
