Happy Halloween...

This year was much like last year in the costume selection process...-N- knew what he wanted to be and -A- still doesn't care. So, much like the cowboy with his horse combo from last year, we had Buzz Light year

and Woody

this year.

If you could only begin to understand the excitement that surrounded this costume...he wore it every day this month that he listened well and took his nap without argument. Just because today is Halloween holds no bearing on whether it will be worn tomorrow or not. We started the afternoon by carving our pumpkins.

-N- helped his dad by directing him to use the shapes he has been learning about at school, a triangle, circle, square/diamond and a half circle.

As for -A-, I picked up a Mr. Potato Head style pumpkin kit last year after Halloween, so -A-'s pumpkin turned into a witch in no time,

and was later turned into a work like Picaso's, by his older brother.

We then went trick or treating around the neighborhood. After about 10 houses -N- declared that he would go to one more house and then he was done. -A- was cracking us up, as -N- didn't really understand this whole process on his second Halloween, but -A- was like an old pro and was walking away from each door with a piece of candy in hand ready to eat it.

Once we returned to the house, we packed up and went to my parent's house to show off costumes

and have dinner...Turkey Dinner. So delicious, a little different from the norm, but a new norm I could easily get used to!
