Happy Halloween!


I can't believe we are already approaching the end of the year! Christmas will be here before I can blink! We had a nice Halloween this year. The night before, we got together with our good friends, the Kirby's and carved pumpkins. The kids liked scooping out the gunk and playing with the seeds. Ethan decided to carve out John McCain while I carved Dwight from the Office, one of our favorites! They both turned out pretty good. You can find patterns online for pretty much anything.

Audrey made a very cute Cinderella this year while Caden went as a little frog. We thought that was appropriate because from a young age, he has always hoped around when he's excited, or do "happy hops" as we call them. He was dang cute and really got into the trick or treat thing. He actually would go up to the door and say trick or treat and thank you. He normally is super shy around strangers, but I guess the whole candy thing makes everything ok!
Caden and Audrey loved having easy access to candy all evening. They did well!

Audrey and Caden were cute, but the Dwight Jack-O-Lantern was the BEST. :-)
