Halloween 2009

We kicked off the Halloween celebration last Thursday by attending the Syracuse pumpkin walk with our good friends, the Merrills. The kids loved playing and looking at all the fun pumpkins. Thanks for inviting us, it was a good time, as always!



Sunday we carved our pumpkins. Dan and I love carving pumpkins and always look for a challenging pattern. This year Peyton wanted a Darth Vader and Bailey wanted a princess pumpkin. None of the one's we carved this year were too tough, they were fun to carve. Next year I think we'll wait until as close to Halloween as we can so they aren't all caved in and wrinkled by Halloween night!

On Friday the kids had their daycare Halloween parade, I went to watch and hand out candy to all the kids. They had a lot of fun showing their costumes to their friends.

This year we spent Halloween at Dan's brother Shawn's house. It's always fun for the kids to trick-or-treat with their cousins. It was especially nice this year to have some of the cousins help Bailey as she is so small yet independent and didn't want Dan or myself to help her up or down the MANY stairs on the MANY porches! The kids got way too much candy and Bailey and her sweet tooth are in heaven right now. Bailey's costume turned out really cute, everyone commented about how awesome it was!
And a random silly picture of Beetle Bug.

Looks like you guys had tons of fun. We seriously need to get together next year to carve pumpkins so you can teach us a thing or to.
