Every year Kayleigh and Peyton get more and more excited about Halloween. This year, they started talking about what they wanted to be way back in August. Peyton did not waver, he was going to be Optimus Prime (the transformer) and that was that. Kayleigh wanted to be Hannah Montana, then she wanted to be iCarly (not sure how we would pull that one off). In the end though, she just wanted to be a pretty witch. Not a witch with black hair and a green face, but a pretty witch instead. We started our Halloween preparations with a trip the the pumpkin patch at church a couple of weeks ago. Every day they wanted to know when they could carve their pumpkins, but we told them they needed to wait until Halloween got closer so the pumpkins would not rot. Friday night we had a pumpking carving party for the au pairs. The kids were so excited to help prepare for it. They picked out stencils for carving and set everything out that the au pairs would need. Once the au pairs started carving their pumpkins, Scott and the kids carved theirs (I think he thought the au pairs would help the kids and he would get out of it, but no such luck)
Happy kids carving pumpkins with daddy!
Looks like daddy is doing all the work!
Last night was Trunk or Treat at church. This year, with all that has been going on we decided to skip dinner at the church and just eat at home. Eating at home made for a much mellower time. Mom likes this!
The transformer and the pretty witch before getting their loot!
That's one awesome Optimus Prime and of course, an adorable nice witch!
ReplyDeleteWe opted for dinner at home, too! So much calmer.
