Halloween

Halloween was awesome this year. The weather was perfect and the kids really enjoyed it. I went home after work and Jamie had gutted some pumpkins and pre-cut them so the kids could just pop out the shapes. We then carried them to the front porch and put candles in them. We got the kids dressed to go trick-or-treating. Donald agreed to stay home and pass out candy so we could both take the kids out. Avery dressed up as a princess (my friend Heather sent us the dress) and I made Asher a frog prince costume. I was impressed with how well it turned out (who knew you could sew ping pong balls onto things?). We took them around in the wagon. Avery loved it, and went up to the houses and yelled trick or treat (sometimes adding the obligatory smell my feet, give me something good to eat that her dad taught her). At one house, she told me to stand in the driveway while she went up to the door by herself. Big girl! Asher got a little tired and bored so Jamie wheeled him home while Sunny and Alex and Avery and I finished up the neighborhood. Avery had a blast. She couldn't believe she got all the candy she did (especially the suckers- her favorite), and quickly asked if we could do it again tomorrow!
