Happy Halloween!!

We have had a festive Halloween season with spooky meals, scary crafts, goopy pumpkin carvings, and very scary emotional children.

Our pumpkins are a family portrait from the day we carved them. If you can tell what Russell's really is, you must hang out with someone between the ages of 1 and 4.

I pulled out the mummy costume for Meghan and Russell said he wanted to be a ghost, so I obliged. He was very unhappy with it until I cut a huge hole for his entire face. Then he was unhappy because he couldn't climb people's stairs without stepping on it. I am picking costumes next year. They will have no head coverings and will not be long.

Our trunk-or-treat was a little less exciting than last year, but the weather was pretty cool and wet. And, I didn't allow kids come around more than once or twice if they were really cute and not over the age of 8. Ben's chili dog chili tied for 2nd place at the chili cook-off.
