Halloween Fun

Here's some pics from our Halloween adventures. We picked pumpkins from our own garden. Amelia got to dress up for career day the day before Halloween. She was so excited to get to dress up twice. She picked to be a vet so I had to rush out to find a stethoscope toy and made her a lab coat the night before. I figured I didn't sew anything this year, I could do that for her. She looked pretty professional. We also got to go to the library and school carnival. My camera settings were off, so no pics turned out for the costume parade, but you've seen one, you've seen them all, am I right!??! Then neighborhood trick or treating. Ben decided he was done after an hour so he sat in the car with me and Miles while Amelia went down another street. She told Phil she was tired but didn't want to "give up", as if deciding to stop trick or treating before anyone else was losing!!! Amelia was a black cat, and the boys were pirates. And this year I am not holding back on the candy rationing. Eat til you throw up. So far no throwing up, but lots of running around screaming kids who get very grumpy after their sugar crash. And we had not one trick or treater so I have pounds of candy again. This is 6 years in a row now. Good thing I have figured out that this ends up being the best on gingerbread houses on Thanksgiving!!!
