Trick-or-Treat

 Happy Halloween to everyone yesterday!  And Happy November today!  We had a great Halloween-filled weekend.  Holidays are just ten times better when you have kids that are old enough to know what's going on.  It was a great weekend together.  Anna wanted to paint the pumpkin before we carved it because she remembered loving it last year.  Once it dried, we carved it out and toasted up our seeds. Mmm!  They were really good.
This picture below if very indicative of the kid's mood for taking pictures.  Anna kept telling me, "Don't take even ONE picture Mom!!"  And she meant it.

 It was UNBELIEVABLY hard to get the kids to pose for a costume picture.  So, we're just making do with what we have.  Anna was Cinderella and Andrew was a dinosaur.  They looked darling!

 This is how excited Anna was to do trunk or treat.

 And this is how excited Andrew was....  Um, not at all.

 Andrew and his bud, Adam, are six months apart and just love each other.  This is how they strolled through trunk-or-treat, in style!

 I tried making ghost mashed potatoes.  Yea, they didn't really work.  Good effort, right?

 I also tried making Jack-o-lantern pancakes.  They didn't really work either.  Hmm, maybe next year.

 Can you tell that she was just dying to get her picture taken?  At least I'll remember what her shoes looked like.

 This was taken on Halloween night right before we went trick-or-treating.  Anna loved when kids knocked on our door for candy.  She thought it was just the best thing!  As soon as a trick-or-treater left, she would quickly get candy ready for the next one and then wait by the door.

 Andrew on the other hand wanted nothing to do with any of it.  I think he just wanted to go to bed.

 Nice.

 Trick-or-treating was more fun than I even thought it would be, (and I was pretty excited to go).  Anna LOVED it.  She got the hang of it pretty quickly too.  What's not to love right?  Happy Halloween everyone!
