Halloween!

Theres no holiday quite like Halloween for kids - all year long there are strict prohibitions on exceeses of candy, mischief and roudiness but for one day they're permitted to dress as ridiculously as they please, run around the neighborhood like lunatics and gorge themselves 'til they're sick on sugar...

...and of course none of us would have it any different! Our girls are still too young to be too crazy - we still had a lot of fun though - take a look...



Pumpkins were fun but Heather and I did most of the work since we still don't trust Grace and Jane with sharp objects...



Grace LOVED bobbing for apples - she likes me to tell her stories before bed at night so for the days and weeks before a holiday I'll use a holiday theme so I told her stories about Peep, Chirp and Quack going to a Halloween party. The only thing I could think of that people do at Haloween parties was bobbing for apples... I don't think Gracie really knew what that was but she really wanted to try it so we let her and she had a BLAST!



Little cheater... :)

This was at the trunk or treat that we went to at the church.



Janie was a pooped pumpkin by the end of the day...
