We held our annual Pumpkin Carving party last week. As always, it was a huge success and the kids had all kinds of fun. The kids had a "mummy contest" and wrapped each other in TP. Lamar even got in on the action by letting the little ones wrap him up.
Shianne went to the Fall Dance with her best friend Kathryn. The girls always have so much fun together. Shi was mortified that I was a parent chaperone AND I was bringing my camera to take pictures for the school yearbook. She made sure to stay away from my lens at all costs, but I did get one good one!
Nora Beth was so excited for Halloween to get here. She wanted to dress like Rapunzel. I made her dress and she could not wait to wear it. Calum went as an octopus. He was not sure why he was in such funny clothes, but it was sure fun to run around and have his extra legs flap.
Calum thought the actual Trick or Treating was lots of fun. He loves to knock on doors and was so excited to see all the pretty wrappers. He had no idea what he was getting, but from Nora Beth's reactions he knew it was good stuff and he was not going to let go of his basket! It was quite a bit of work for him to walk around our neighborhood and by the end of our street he was showing signs of exhaustion. He headed home with Lamar and I continued on with a very energetic Rapunzel.
Nora Beth was very eager to go through her loot and picked out the 7 pieces she got to keep and happily put the rest in the offering bowl for the Halloween Goblin to take away and leave a gift in exchange. Calum went to bed with no complaints and immediately fell asleep.
