Well the weather was beautiful this year for Halloween. We spent some time at a neighbor's house for dinner & snacks before heading out to trick or treat with them. It was a lot of fun. The kids did great - more walking this year than last, but still were content to head home before 8pm - which was great since we had school the next day! Everyone got a good dose of candy. Probably one of my favorite things was how Leah wanted to really give out candy at home. When we arrived home, she sat on the steps with the big bowl of candy and was "waiting for customers." Then when someone came, she would give them their candy, then return to the steps to wait for the next "customer." She did tire out, though, but we knew she was really hoping for more people to come. We let her lay on the couch and wait for a few more customers. It was just the cutest thing seeing her so excited about it. We didn't have a uniform theme this year, but that gets a bit challenging with more & more people to plan! As far as all the jack-o-lanterns, we probably had 8-10. The kids had drawn faces on all of them and Dear-ol-Dad carved them all - probably about 4+ hours on Sunday. The carving was followed by him making pumpkin soup, toasted seeds, pumpkin bread, and later pumpkin pie. We had PLENTY-o-pumkin! Great job, Patrick!
