Spooky Season

I love Halloween so we spread out the joy all month long.

Remember when we got these beauties back in the beginning of October?

We we carved them at the end of October per Jack's specifications.
Addy's pumpkin is happy and Jack's is sad.


One of our favorite Halloween events is the ZooBoo at the Seneca Park Zoo. Where else can you go trick or treating with lions, polar bears and elephants.



Another favorite event is our church's "Trunk-or-Treat" and carnival.

Checkout Addy in the photo booth.

However, this race might be the highlight of the evening.
Kurt challenged Ryan, the Man and R1 to a race.

I am just glad no one was hurt. As you can see, Ryan learned his finish line lean from his son.

Jack had his first school Halloween party and came home with a large bag of candy eaten by yours truly.

We had our good friends Nora and Nicole join us for dinner on Halloween and then we hit our neighborhood streets. Addy walked almost the whole time while the older kids rode in the wagon. They loved climbing in and out of the wagon and even tried to make a dismount with the wagon still moving.

We met up with some more neighborhood friends, W1 and L1 (a knight and a dragon).

Then, to keep with tradition, we headed over to the Pulley's, when Ryan finished call, for chili and candy. Annabel took Jack and Addy trick or treating around their neighborhood. I don't know how Jack was able to carry his pumpkin at the end of the night.

Here's Jack's candy. He loves the suckers and nicely shares his chocolate with his mother and father. Annabel happily accepted Addy's candy as a gift for being so great with the kids that night.

Favorite Jack quote from the night:

Mom- "Ready to go Trick or treating?"
Jack- "At the Zoo?"
Mom- "No."
Jack- "At church?"
Mom- "No"
Jack- "School?
Mom- "No in our neighborhood."

Highlight of Addy trick or treating was her very enthusiastic "Dank Ooo
when she got her candy. Melted many a heart.

Can't wait until next year. I am already trying to think of costumes.
