The pile of candy in my sons' Halloween buckets confirms that Halloween has already come and gone. Here's what the holiday looked like in our house:
We carved this pumpkin for the decorating contest at LT's school library. We added a fire fighter's helmet and had a perfect representation of Curious George and the Fire Fighters, a favorite in our house.
And this was our "standard" pumpkin. The boys couldn't decide whether we should make a friendly pumpkin or a spooky pumpkin. As the carver, mom cast the deciding vote.
Meet Tony Stewart and Raphael. This was before we headed out. For about two weeks, they've been talking about going trick-or-treating. Naturally, they were eager to ring door bells and collect candy.
This guy was a little reluctant to put on his costume. Once he was persuaded to dress up, he had a blast (even though he's looking over my shoulder right now, telling me that he didn't like his costume at all . . . )
Plans are already in the works for next year's festivities. I've been informed that we need more yard decorations and have been told who will be wearing what costumes. So, if you'll excuse me, I need to get on that!
