Happy Halloween!!!

How was every one's Halloween?!? Ours was eventful...school parades, parties & then the kids favorite...trick or treating:) It was the first year that all 3 of them got into it! Madelyn has been into it for a while now (she could stay out all night), but Austin & Trey didn't care enough about it in previous years to brave the cold weather for too long. This year, they were so excited they could hardly wait to get from one house to the next. Of course the nice weather helped a ton:) I thought that after a block or two my boys would tire out & want to go back...nope! The only thing they got tired of was carrying their heavy baskets, so they would go to the door & get the candy & then bring it to me to put in their baskets. They got some pretty cool stuff...juice boxes, chips, cookies, donuts, play doe!! I don't remember getting stuff like that when I was their age:( They had a great night (and looked absolutely adorable in their costumes, if I may say so myself) & I thoroughly enjoyed watching them have so much fun:)

The other night we carved our pumpkins. Madelyn has always loved this. She loves getting her hand in there & pulling out all the crud inside. I'm not sure why? Trey even loved it. He would pull some out & flip it across the room to get it off his hand, saying "eeewww". Austin however, wouldn't even touch his pumpkin until it was all cleaned out & then washed off:) He thought it was completely "disgusting". What I think is the funniest part of all was the fact that after their pumpkins were all cleaned out, they were too tired to do the carving:) Madelyn gave hers a try, but her hand soon gave out. And since it was opening night for the official Jazz season, you know where my husbands attention was focused. Which left ME to carve all 3 (well, 2 1/2) pumpkins...oh joy!! I have to say that I did do a pretty good job. Trey keeps telling everyone..."my pumpin, didilya". His pumpkin is a spider & his word for bug is didilya. (He can say "halloween" & "mom open please" & "my birthday" & "didilya" but can't say "bug"...he cracks me up) Needless to say, they had a blast & came home with loads of candy:)
