Halloween fun

So with Bob's traveling schedule and soccer season we have been putting off all fun Halloween activities due to lack of time. Now soccer season has come to an end so it's time to catch up...let's scoop out pumpkin guts!



Bob bought these pumpkin carving templates this year...genius!  I had never seen those before and they were a game changer!  


After scooping and carving the boys painted them.


To make sure that we could finish them in one night, Maw Maw busted out the hair dryer to hurry the process along so they could add glow in the dark Puffy Paint!


Proud Peacock!


Bats!!!


"Velcome"

The next evening, Cedar Point was having their free trick or treating.  This is one of our favorite Halloween activities to do.  It was quite cold and we were thinking that we might not go.  Thank goodness we did because it was super fun!




Nolan's tail on his costume was my favorite part.  The only size of the costume was 3T-4T and let's be honest, he is probably a 5T so this was quite snug!  Oh, those unforgettable memories!




Maw Maw and Paw Paw came to join us too!

Our neighborhood always does trick or treating the Saturday before Halloween which works out great because then we have family and friends over!
 

This year the boys wanted us to dress up with them.  They chose Bob and I's costumes.  We are all Mario characters.  Carter (Mario), Me (Princess Peach), Bob (Bowser), Nolan (Yoshi), and Landon (Luigi).  They won't always think we are "cool" enough to trick or treat with them so we will continue to do this as long as they will let us!

Aunt Katie loves to come down for Halloween...Check out her Toadstool Hat!!


Uncle Matt, Katie, and the kids came over to trick or treat with us too!  It was so cold that night!

We also conclude the evening with a bonfire in the driveway while the boys take turns passing out candy to the last few kids.  Halloween is so much fun!
