This week was fun, I enjoyed the beautiful weather and the festivities of Halloween. We got our shorts out for the last time this year and the boys got to wear their costumes for the first time too.
Tradition:
 |
| I carried out my mom's tradition this year by making the boys Halloween costumes myself. I think they turned out pretty well. |
 |
| Saturday we carved our pumpkins, which in our house means the children pick out the most intricate designs and the parents end up with carpal tunnel! |
 |
| The finished product - this is what Caleb picked. I'm happy with the result! |
Black (and white):
 |
| Iris was having a little chat with the pumpkin. |
Tricks:
 |
| On Saturday, a cruel trick was played on me. My beloved iPhone fell into the toilet. This is how it has spent the last three days. Thankfully, today it was unearthed from the rice and it still works!!! |
Treats:
 |
| Pumpkin cookies the boys and I made on a rainy day. |
 |
| I have spent the week trying to keep little hands out of the Halloween candy. Not very successfully, as this picture reveals. |
Harvest:
 |
| We harvested the seeds from all of our pumpkins to roast - this may be my favorite part of Halloween. |
Child's Point of View:
 |
| We had a very warm, windy day on Thursday so we flew our kite. |
 |
| Caleb learned how to fly the kite himself - he was having a blast! |
