Trick-or-Treating and Pumpkin Carving

The kids each got to pick out a pumpkin at a local farm. They chose the designs for their pumpkins and we carved them. Luke wanted a funny face. Jacob designed his own face and Hannah wanted an owl.
The kids had fun trick-or-treating in Bruce (the small town closest to the farm). We went to all the houses that had lights on and the kids came home with loaded pumpkin baskets. Luke was a good sport tromping all through town and keeping up with Hannah and Jacob. He didn't want to go home. At one house a women (grandma-aged) welcomed them inside and took their picture (small town living at it's best!).

Here they are ready to go....
And here are Luke, Sophie and Hannah before the Halloween party earlier in the week.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Party

Batman, Raggedy Ann, Tigger and Kitty Cat (aka Jacob, Hannah, Luke and Sophia) had fun at the Mom's Club Halloween Party.
The kids marched in a parade around the gym - lots of cute costumes! (there's Batman and Raggedy Ann in the back...)

Hannah and I had fun putting her costume together this week. I found this dress at a thrift store a few years back when we were living in Grand Forks for 25 cents! The kids have used it for dress up several times. This year we turned it into a Raggedy Ann Costume. Lois had an old red felt hat sitting around. I cut the brim off the hat and Hannah and I worked together to glue the red yarn to it. Homemade costumes are so much fun!

More to come after trick-or-treating on Friday
