Pumpkin Carving and Trick or Treating!


Addi's little pumpkin. I thought it was so cute, it should be the opening picture!

We have had a good week so far. Sunday night we carved our pumpkins and they turned out pretty cute. I have to say the cutest one was Addi's tiny little one with a very surprised face! John's girlfriend Mara came over to join us for the carving. Landon and Addi were a little disgusted with the pumpkin guts, but otherwise really liked it. They love holding their pumpkins and John and Andi are pumpkin carving pros.
Last night we went trick or treating and got lots of candy. Landon did great! He walked right up to houses, said trick or treat and then thank you. You would have thought he has been doing this forever. Addi was very afraid at first, but then when she realized they were giving her candy she got a little more friendly. She would only go up to the door though if Mike or I carried her. It was definately a good 45 minute bicep workout! Landon and Addi looked so cute in their costumes and Andi helped a lot by helping us with the stroller and walking most of the time with Landon. John was hanging out with some friends during the trick or treating so that is why he is not in any of the pictures. He was sure to help himself to the candy when he got home however! It was a successful and safe Halloween! Now, on to Thanksgiving! Don't you just love this time of year?!?

Mike working hard to get that little pumpkin open. It was really a tough pumpkin for one so little.


Landon not sure about those pumpkin guts!


Addi showing off her little pumpkin before it went under the knife.



Landon showing off his rather lopsided pumpkin!


Addi giving me a great smile while playing in her costume!


Trying to get a good picture of them together is impossible, but this one was so funny because Landon kept getting so frustrated by his hat!

Me cleaning out the guts because the little ones wouldn't touch it!

Addi was looking out the window in my room while playing in her costume and I thought she looked so pretty! Really like a little fairy!

They look so precious. What a fun night. I cannot wait to dress up a little one! I am glad you were finally able to post. Their costumes are so cute. That is funny that Landon was getting annoyed by his hat!

All those pictures are so good! I love the ones of Addi looking out the windows - it reminds me of some of your wedding pictures. It's so hard to believe that November is here and Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner! Enjoy the season for sure!

Your kids are getting so big. Last time we saw you Addi was about 3 months old. It has been too long. Maybe this holiday season, we can swing up through Kingston in our travels. Great pictures.
