A couple days before Halloween we carved our pumpkins. The kids always have mixed reactions to the experience of digging out the pumpkin slime. Becca enjoyed it!
And Ben did a very thorough job cleaning his out...
Jake was so proud of his finished product (designed by Jake, carved by mom)
Emma pouted about having to dig out the pumpkin goo... but she cheered up when mommy and daddy took over the gross part and she got to watch daddy carve out her jack-o-lantern design. Becca and Jake colored on the table for entertainment...

On the morning of Halloween, Jake had his preschool Halloween party. He was so excited! They started with a costume parade down the street. The kids waved excitedly as a few cars drove by :) Most of the party pictures below were taken by Ashley - she's great! Thanks for the cute pics!
There were lots of crafts and treats and activities...
My sweet Claire Bear...
Lining up for pictures...
Singing Halloween songs...
Halloween night we went to Aunt Emily's house for dinner and trick or treating. Here's a bunch of skeletons...
The kids loved trick or treating house to house. They got so much candy. I've been eating a lot of it... and there's still some left. I think I'm finally tired of eating candy and that's hard to do for me. :) Now onto November and Thanksgiving - wahoo!
This is a fun time for all the little kids.
ReplyDeleteI hope lots of people waved to them when they paraded on the street.
Those pre-school teachers were dressed up really well too.
It's neat how your family does a costume theme every year. It seems like a lot of trouble in some ways, but really worth it!
Sad to see the October pass, Jake is really enjoying the festivities, first Disneyland right through to the Boo day.
