We had to make the traditional carmel apples. They were oh so delicious. Shane was not at home but we saved him one. He didn't eat it right when he got home that night, so the next morning it was fair game. It was a super healthy breakfast for me.
We all had so much fun carving pumpkins this year. Luke helped out by removing one pumpkin seed at a time from Jakes pumpkin and then with each extraction, "ewwww, gross."
And no, we didn't go super high-tech and get a book with pumpkin carving pages. This was all free hand.
The best part of Halloween is always the kids dressed in their costumes. Luke wanted nothing more than to be Buzz lightyear (it had nothing to do with the fact that we already had the costume from when Jake was a toddler). At first Luke thought you were supposed to say Trucks or Trains and then after some lessons from Jake and Meg he learned the proper phrasing. Meg wanted to be a devil but the costume I bought her at Walmart was not satisfactory, so she ended up being a pirate. Jake went super easy, a ghost. Most of the night while trick or treating he just had the sheet propped up on his head like a scarf. Now after all the hard work Shane and I have put into this fall season each of the kids have to pay up. Half their candy will suffice.

Looks like you guys had a great Halloween! Jake looks so tall in the Ghost costume picture! Maddie and Luke would have been cute together..she was Jessie.
Miss you!
Trucks or Trains - how cute is that. I totally would have let him go around saying that instead.
Just wait until you see what our pumpkins look like.
Kaddi blog make over looks really good.
My favorite story is the one where Shane took the kids trick or treating before Halloween! Bahahaha
