Twick or Tweet

I don't think its a big secret.. Mark hates pumpkins and the mess/work that comes with carving them. And every year I promise Mark "Next year we wont buy/carve a pumpkin, I promise! This is the last one." But then every year I still end up bringing one home, and guess who ends up carving it? And doesn't he looked thrilled?

This is why I break my promise every year... this kid. He LOVES it!

This year he and daddy argued quite a bit about what their pumpkin should look like. Logan wanted to attempt a very difficult Spiderman design - but lets face it, neither Mark or I are very artistic people, so we tried to get him to settle for the traditional pumpkin face.

Finally they settled on a "spooky" face and started carving.

And doesn't Logan looked THRILLED with the end result?

The night of Halloween...

After watching a Halloween episode of Dora the Explorer, Katie kept saying that she wanted to be a ghost. Too bad for Katie this little bumble bee number was already bought last year.

And true to Logan's nature, he INSISTED that he HAD to be Spiderman. But not just any Spiderman.... Black Spiderman!

We didn't have too high of expectations for either kid trick or treating wise. In the past its been a struggle to get Logan to go to more than 5 houses - and this was Katie's first "real" trick or treating experience. We thought she would HATE it as she is afraid of EVERYTHING! But she loved it! She was a natural! She ran from house to house, climbing the stairs by herself and yelling "Twick or Tweet". When we tried to make her sit in the stroller for a bit she cried "Noooo! I want more candy!!"

We met up with a very pretty Payton dressed as a butterfly.

And a very cute Jaden, who didn't seem to overly care that it was Halloween.

Enjoying their loot at the end up the night before bed - and boy did the two of them rake in a lot of candy!
