trick or treat


OK, I know I'm pretty late with this one, no excuses!
Mo and I carved pumpkins with the boys and their cousins, Wyatt and Owen, and I ended up carving 5 pumpkins myself! The only kid that was into it was Kye. He loved it! He spent an hour at least on his, and he didn't want any help, scooping guts and seeds or carving. The other boys were too busy playing to be bothered with it and little Wyatt tried, but as soon as I cut the top off his and he peared in and saw the pumpkin guts he turned green, and said he didn't think this would be for him. He has a bit of a weak stomach like his Mama! That was quite comical.

For Halloween the boys wanted to be ninja's. Actually they wanted to be a red and a blue ninja (Lego Ninjago) but I didn't have any luck with that so I ordered white with plans to dye them. Luckily, I tested the dye on a tiny piece of fabric first, they turned out pink and purple! The boys were pretty content with being white after I showed them the samples! It has kind of become a tradition for Aaron to dress up with the boys and this year was no exception. He even flew back early from Vegas to make sure he would be there. He was the Sensei, of course!
It was a pretty cold evening but the boys still managed to come home with a mountain of junk! I stayed home and handed out the caramel apples, which are becoming increasingly popular. I gave away all 26 this year. Next year I'll have to try to make more. Ruffy was hyped right up by all the kids in costumes, I restrained myself from getting him a costume, but next year I'm sure you'll see photos of him dressed up too!
