Carving Pumpkins and Trick or Treat

Anthony came through again for the second year in a row. Our week was so busy, at one point I wasn't sure we'd ever get to carve pumpkins. He got it done and the boys were thrilled with the results. :) Harrison picked a Haunted House because he thought it looked like a castle and Jackson picked a Pirate Ship.






"My First Halloween" - she had just woken up from a nap so she was still a little groggy! :) She is so cute!!!

Taylor, Aidan, Duncan, Jackson, & Harrison - neighborhood friends!

We had fun walking around the neighborhood with friends. The boys loved it and loved being cowboys! Thankfully, Jackson didn't ask to eat a piece of candy after each house like last year. :)

so proud of their pumpkins!

I asked my friend Heather to come and take a few shots of the kids in their costumes last night. She has a great camera, I've already asked for one for Christmas, and my point and shoot just can't capture these moments quite like this! They turned out GREAT! As you can see, Addison wasn't very interested in taking pictures. We made the most of it. It probably wasn't the best time of day for her but we had to try anyway! My friend Laura is taking professional pictures of our family on Saturday in the morning and I'm sure she'll be a much happier camper! :)

Mimi helped me sew the kids costumes this year, with a little help from Ma-maw on Addison's vest, so it was important to have memorable pictures! She got some great shots of the kids and it's amazing what bribing with candy will do for a child's attention span! :) They are going to have SO much fun tonight, and I think they'll be the cutest dressed kids in the whole neighborhood! A mommy should think nothing less! :)

Thanks Heather! Mimi and Ma-maw are going to LOVE these pictures!
