down town trick or treating and FHE pumpking carving

 Halloween this year was awesome!!  The kids have full emmerged into the "getting it" phase of holidays and had been talking about Halloween for days and days and were so excited when the festivities began!  The madness officially started last Fri night when Jill & I took the kids down town to do trick or treating at the local businesses. 

 Monday night for FHE we carved pumpkins!  This is the most fun my kids have ever had with pumpkin carving --I remember years past when we tried to get Stetson to help us clean out the "guts" and he wanted NO PART in any of it.  Kandace and Stetson both participated in almost every stage of pumpkin carving this year.  Michael drew and carved Stetson's jack-o-lantern with some prompting from Stetson and I drew and carved Kandace's with VERY specific insructions to do a mad face.  It turned out sad looking but she was satisfied.
