Trick or Treat!

The kids were very excited for Halloween.  We picked out our pumpkins at the pumpkin patch with Grandma and Grandpa Meek and cousin Aidan.  Then we carved those pumpkins with Aunt Lisa, cousins Morgan and Mitch, and Papa Big over fall break.  Ryan was a huge fan of pulling out the guts and Carter liked picking out the design for his pumpkin.

For Halloween, Carter dressed up like a fireman.  We bought his costume in early October so he logged lots of hours in the outfit before it was actually time to trick-or-treat.  The costume included a super soaker fire hose backpack that he loved!

Ryan was orginally going to be a butterfly but Dad thought we could do better on her costume. We switched her to a pirate at the last minute. Daddy was right. The pirate costume was much better.

The kids enjoyed handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters that came to our door.  Carter was very generous in giving out candy.  When he was in charge of the candy bowl, I think each kid got at least 3 to 6 pieces.

Carter was excited when it was their turn to trick-or-treat.  Ryan was less then interested.

We were able to calm our angry pirate down and Daddy took them around the neighborhood. 

Our neighbors, Anna (3 yrs old) and her mommy, joined us in our trick-or-treating outting.  The older kids had a blast running from house to house.  Ryan enjoyed hanging back in the wagon and hitting up a very select number of homes.

It was a fun Halloween night and a great month of October. We hope your Halloween was spooktacular too!
