Pumpkin Carving and Trick or Treating!!

Before we went trick or treating, Craig had bought a huge pumpkin for us to carve. The kids had a ball helping daddy create the masterpiece! Ben was dressed up as Handy Manny and Katie was a "funky" cinderella... We went over to a friend's house right after school and had an artist paint her face and do her hair. I thought it would be fun for Katie to be a little funky for the trick or treating... so she really did her face up cool and teased the mess out of her hair complete with spray and glitter... any girls dream!!!

My funky little cinderella not disgusted a bit with the pumpkin guts!

daddy really is serious about his pumpkin carving.(we used to have contests to see who was the best... for some reason I never won!)

cool shot from above!

Daddy and his best buddies!

This was an oops picture but turned out really cool... Katie was getting Ben all hyped about going trick or treating!

Candy, HERE WE COME!!!!

The coolest, spookiest, most halloweeniest picture of the night... good job, Craig!!! Love this picture!

Ben had to take a rest and try some of his candy out... he just plopped himself down on these steps and poured out his skittles and chowed down... gotta love it!!!

The sweetest thing was hearing Ben's little voice say "Twit or Tweet" and then "Tank U" when he got the loot!

Katie was such a good teacher to Ben...letting him in on the way to trick or treat...like do not go to houses that do not have their lights on and which houses looked too scary to approach.

We ended the night at our "old" neighbors, Clint and Natalie... we sat around and talked and let the kids play until 10:30. It was a fun night but I have to admit I am glad Halloween is over for this year... As I type this my kids are sacked out... :)
