Halloween has come and gone and I am sad to say I have no pics of Halloween night. It was a blast though, we got the kids dressed up and went to the Fall Festival at church. We had more fun this year because the kids were older could play more of the games, the ring toss, knocking down milk jugs, kicking the giant soccer ball into the net and basketball. Their bags were full of candy by the time we left and it was time to head home to greet the trick or treaters.
When we got home, we cooked our Jack O Lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's, which was really cute and yummy and may very well be our new Halloween tradition. The kids had so much fun running to the door to see the trick or treaters, they would get so excited to see them! Especially Elizabeth, our social butterfly, she even yelled "Happy Birthday" after one of the kids, I think she got her holidays confused. They were all about the candy too, even more than we thought they would be. We didn't even think they knew what candy was, but it must be a pretty simple concept for them to grasp.
The week before we went to a Fall Festival at a local nursery and did a tractor hayride and corn maze. It was alot of fun, and I do have some pics to show from that of the kids in their costumes. As the kids get older, these holiday adventures get more fun with their ability to grasp what it's all about and how they can get involved. Not that I want them to grow up too fast.
We also did our first pumpkin carving with the kids the night before Halloween, they just watched of course, I did try to get them to stick their hand in the pumpkin, but they weren't into it. We had fun though!
