Halloween

We had already picked out the pumpkins at Stades' Farm the week before and now it was time to carve them. Daddy cut open the top and Alli reluctantly stuck her hand inside. She laughed about it, however, I'm sure she was creeped out by the feel of the insides. John baked the seeds and we snacked on them for the next few days. This year's Halloween was something I had been looking forward to. Allison, now 4, could dress up as whatever she wanted to be, walk along side the road, run up to the houses and say "Trick or Treat", plus "Thank You" on her own. Ryan, still a baby, would be pushed around by me, a Nun. John and I decided at the last possible moment to order our costumes online. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I have perfected the art of procrastination! We chose the Nun and Priest costumes from the Clearance section. Perfect! The night started out around 4:30 and ended at Uncle Tom and Aunt Brenda's house around 6:30pm. Allison was already on a sugar high and Ryan had fallen asleep in my arms. The following night John and I went to the Christenson's Annual Halloween Party...what a blast! I can't wait for next year!
