Catching Up on Halloween

 As the holidays approached I just kept putting off updating my blog.  And now with the snow piling up outside the window, the temperatures dipping below zero, and the kids all home from school today I really needed a few minutes in front of my happy light.  What better way to spend that time than reminiscing about fun times in warmer climes.  All of the kids had a great time picking out their outfits and preparing for Halloween.  Abi was a Southern Belle though many people mistook her for Little Bo Beep, I think she could add a shepherd's crook and a stuffed lamb and repeat the costume next year.  Tal repeated as Iron Man but we had to buy a bigger costume this year.  This one had a special glow stick in the chest, Cool.  Leah wanted to be Ariel the Little Mermaid.  She didn't want a wig but was super excited to spray her hair this bright red color.  Eva was a happy little Ladybug, but she didn't want to wear the hood.  She found it fascinating that she would walk up to people at our Trunk or Treat and that they would give her candy.  Awesome!!!

 All of the kids really got into carving their pumpkins this year.  Eva's was a teeny little pie pumpkin, just perfect for her to pull the guts out.  Mom carved a fun little smiley face on it.  Abi, Tal, and Leah each chose their own design.  Dad helped Leah make her Little Mermaid but Tal and Abi each carved their own.  Those pumpkin carving kits make it so much easier than the paring knives we used when I was a kid.
