We had such a fabulous Halloween this year! Jefferson was at school until 4 and the kids were super excited to get dressed up when daddy got home so I decided to have some activities to make the morning go by faster. First we decorated pumpkin cupcakes. They are super delicious and apparently the name "pumpkin cupcakes" is too long for Carter to spit out so he has nicknamed them "pumcakes." I love it so the name is going to stick. We decorated pumcakes:
Then, since we never got around to carving pumpkins (which is a good thing because I noticed a few days ago that ours are already going soft and they haven't even been carved) we decorated our own pumpkins with the fun stickers grandma and grandpa got the kids:
Finally it was time to go party the night away. We got all dolled up and headed to Halloween party #1 that our friends the Kemp's hosted. They decorated a ton and we just ate snacks and talked for the little bit that we were there:
Then this marked the first Halloween that our kids have been trick-or-treating. Carter was a bit skeptical at the first door. The lady was already sitting on her porch and when she tried putting the candy in Carter's pumpkin he snatched it out of her hands because he wanted to hold it; I think to examine if indeed Mom and Dad were telling the truth about everyone giving out candy. (insert Jerry Seinfeld clip here) He quickly figured out that it was real candy and not just an impostor and proceeded to run to the next door, literally. He loved trick-or-treating!
After about an hour of that we headed to Halloween party #2 at the Ward's. We had a great time munching on scones and all the different kinds of soups. The kids were entertained with their candy and a Halloween movie so the grownups could sit in the dining room and talk. Jefferson got a lot of laughs at his costume and scared some little old lady half to death when that deep voice came out of what she seriously thought was a woman. I don't think she looked too closely at Jefferson at the door, but when he started to talk, she jumped and then just laughed and laughed. Good times had by all. Here is the star quarterback (ok, lineman) and his head cheerleader:
To finish off our Halloween festivities, Carter and Andi wanted to try on our costumes, only they actually got the genders right:
