Happy Halloween!!!


The kids have been counting down the days to Halloween and the big day finally arrived! We started the evening off carving pumpkins on our back deck before heading over to the Wilsons for the pre-trick or treat party.


Catie decided that she wanted a tiny pumpkin this year and was proud of her finished product.

Hey, look what I found!

Abster was the only one who was willing to do the dirty work and pull the "innards" out of her pumpkin. Jax and Catie thought it was "too disgusting" and  stuck to carving their pumps.


Man, I can't get enough of this pumpkin goo!

We carved four pumpkins and cleaned up in 25 minutes before heading out for the evening... a new record! 



 Jackson and Dad were both hyper-focused on completing their creations while Abby sorted seeds from the goo.


 The gang in front of  the Escoffery's illegal Halloween decorations. They were put on probation by the ARC for excessively large holiday decorations.


 Abby was so proud of her Cat in the Hat costume!



 Jackson picked out his man eating shark costume months ago. We thought it was kind of a poor choice at the time, but it was the hit of the season! Everywhere we went, people were talking about "the shark".

 

Catie was really into it this year. She was the first kid to every door. Here she looks like she is getting ready to flip the bird but she was actually excited by the awesome candy she had just received.
