Halloween Time!

Halloween was quite fun this year!  Mackenzie and Collin are at the perfect age for all the holidays to be so real and magical for them.  And with Halloween first, they were excited to pick their costumes, pick pumpkins, and go trick-or-treating!  So first we headed out to the pumpkin patch and hand-pick our own pumpkins.

Decisions, decisions...

One of many Mackenzie picked.  It nearly weighed as much as her!

Sadly we never got around to carving them, but it was fun to have them on the porch so Mackenzie could feel like we decorated.

Halloween Night...

Much to my dismay, they were not willing to be Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf.  I don't think they'll ever be what I want them to.  My days of getting them to do that are over!  So instead Mackenzie was an adorable Strawberry Shortcake and Collin got to be the oh-so-cool skeleton.

And off they go!

Skeleton meets Frankenstein.  Collin loved checking this guy out!

At the end of the night, I had handed out over 600 pieces of candy, and ran out!  So my kids' 2 hours of hard work, running house to house, was put to good use and we handed most of their candy back out.  I was sure glad to see it all disappear!
