With all the excitement of Halloween and BabyGirl’s birthday party, I’m late uploading my Halloween photos. Here are a few glimpses of our Halloween.
The kids were wildly excited all day, from the moment they got up and opened their presents from The Great Pumpkin til they collapsed, exhausted, into bed that night.
They couldn’t wait for the dressing-up part to begin, so they tried out two other sets of costumes. In the morning, they were a vet and his poodle patient:
In the afternoon, they were a farmer and his pumpkin. JediBoy acted out the whole story of the farmer growing his pumpkin, harvesting it, and carving it into a jack o’lantern - several times!
The excitement really kicked in when Pappy and Nita arrived in the afternoon, bringing with them books and candy.
At dinnertime, we made our way over to Leigh’s house to meet up with friends and family for a casual dinner and trick or treating. We were greeted by our very own Uncle Fester…
JediBoy was completely fed up with waiting so long for the main event, and it was all the more excruciating when I decided to force the children to sit together and pose for pictures while we waited for everyone to be ready.
To me, the whole day is best captured by the juxtaposition of these two pictures. WAITING, above, and GOING, below. Just look at the difference in JediBoy’s expression!
JediBoy and Nate, carefully watched by Uncle Fester, dashed around the neighborhood leaving the little kids in the dust. They were so excited to be out in the night together and they had the most enormous amounts of fun.
