Halloween this year was a little rushed...and not so organized. Ok, ok I am never really on top of things, but with the move this year I am still feeling so far behind.
A week or so before Halloween the kids painted the pumpkins from their farm trips.
Then there were parties at both schools that I was able to attend with the kids.
Marcus wouldn't put on his costume and I didn't have Addy's yet-so she went as a ballerina
We went to a Halloween party at a friend's house.
A couple weeks ago I was at the grocery store with the kids. We saw this ginormous pumpkin and the kids asked if we could buy it. I put it in the cart and all three kids stopped talking they were so surprised, I guess I tell them 'no' too much.
Big strong Daddy
Katie was the only one who wasn't grossed out by the seeds. Addy's and Marcus' faces were so funny.
The kids think Mark is so cool because he can carve a pumpkin. He went into Katie's school this year and carved the pumpkin for her class. Katie was so proud. (If you noticed that Katie has on different clothes in the final picture it is because the poor girl got sick in the middle of everything. She was so concerned about still being sick on Halloween.)

And now,
the cuteness we have all been waiting for...
the cheerleader, the princess and spider man
Katie asked me to dress up this year, it was last minute but the kids were so excited when I said I would. Next year we will talk Mark into joining the crowd.
Mark came home early to go trick or treating with us!!!
Marcus was the trick or treating pro this year. He was running from door to door. I did have to bribe him to get the costume on, but once he realized that people were giving him candy because he had it on, he stopped whining about it. We brought some extra bags to empty the kids candy into and Katie and Addy gladly lightened their load, but Marcus refused to let us touch his candy. He would not even let us help him carry his pumpkin. By the end of the night he was almost dragging it because it was so heavy. But the only way we got him home is because he couldn't carry it anymore (and because we told him he could eat some).
The only thing better then getting candy for free is counting and eating it!
