Happy Halloween!!!

                      Well, we started with the pumpkin carving~ The girls got to choose whichever designs they wanted and poor Daddy had to turn their dreams into a reality!!

                                                      Our 4 pumpkins!!

                                                        Hard at work!

                                                                  Everyone had a job, Eva relished every moment of digging the seeds out.

                                                        Emmy didn't exactly enjoy it, but worked at it anyway

                I think we need to invest in proper pumpkin carving tools!! It's really hard to do a finesse job with a hunting knife! He did great though and the girls loved them. The funny thing is we never got pictures of the finished products...oh well!!

                                              This picture is worth a thousand words. We made up these cute pumpkins with eyes, and Eva completely fell head over heels in love with "pumpkin". When the others went outside,as raw pumpkins don't fare very well in warm houses, I found hers days later safely sitting on the shelf in her closet. Then it was moved to her bed, and every night she would set it up by her pillow and snuggle in with it while she fell asleep. It was getting pretty black around the edges so I had to smuggle it out to the goat pen this morning. She hasn't said anything yet, so I'm hoping I won't have to explain where it went.!!

                                                   Here we are on the big day getting ourselves set for the Amherst mall Trick or treat event. We had a duck , rooster, and Larry Boy this year. They were so excited to get going!

                                                               My sleepy rooster!

                                                 And the candy began to flow into the buckets

                                                               My cute 2 year old duck!!

                                                     Poor Emmy..the event is advertised for the preschoolers, so I didn't let Em dress up for it, thinking she was too old to participate . Well She was so cute..very disappointed ,but trying to be a big girl about it.We had it all figured out that we would bring a bucket for Elin, and Em could eat the treats. . So we stepped into the mall and the first thing that happens is a man comes up with a cart loaded with big halloween bags, and gives one to each of the girls..She looked at me asking with her eyes if it was o.k. to take it . I whispered "it's o.k. Em." and she gave me the hugest grin!!

                                               We were given coupons at the mall for free kids meals at Pizza Delight,so Ryan took us out for lunch after the mall!!

                                               

                                                           Heading out for the big evening!!

                                                      Finally our princess could wear her costume!! She even got to wear Mommy's blush and lipstick!!

                                                             This turkey makes us laugh!

                                                        Even Larry Boy himself would be jealous of that pose!!

                                                         Eva decided to pack her Bible. We didn't realize she had it with her till we left the yard!

                                                  Trying to hop and pose like her big sister!

                                                       The duck could not stay out of the puddles!

                                                Looking through all of the loot!! And sampling of course!!

                                                               Elin found a lollipop that Eva had discarded, and did she ever relish her first candy!! The drool was everywhere!!
