Halloween and pumpkin carving

We had a great week last week celebrating halloween. Fall is my favorite time of year. It is absolutly beautiful in logan in the fall, although it doesn't last very long. Halloween in our neigborhood is awesome, except this year the weather was horrible. Mason and Isabelle were so excited to go trick or treating and bugged all week to go. It was great to have another thing to threaten with this month. Bedtime isn't always the easiest for us so this month we used trick or treating to get them to stay in bed and go to sleep. Mason wanted to be Mario this year. I bought fabric at Joanns and when my mom was here after Allie was born she made the overalls.

Isabelle wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake. I found this really cute costume online and we spray painted her hair pink. It was adorable. We went trick or treating at the mall and so many people commented on her costumeRobert's parents and his brother and two sisters came and went trick or treating with the kids around our neighborhood. It was so cold and raining cats and dogs so they didn't get even half as much candy as last year, but that is a good thing cause now I won't have so much to eat.

PUMPKIN CARVING

On wednesday we waited until Rob got done with school and we carved pumpkins. It is a tradition we have been doing since Robert and I got married. We had a blast. We made the kids take off their jammies so they wouldn't get dirty and because they had already taken a bath.

We carved all the pumpkins and then the kids wanted to paint theirs. Mason's pumpkin was carved frankenstein so he painted it purple and green. Isabelle just wanted hers to be pink, but she ended up painting it pink and white.
This is what Allie was doing while we were carving pumpkins.
