Halloween - October 2009

Halloween 2009!! We had a fun Halloween week. First we carved pumpkins. Both kids picked out the face they wanted me to carve in their pumpkins. They were both grossed out and fascinated by the inside of the pumpkin. Emily told me about this cool little dessert....it's just two different kinds of pudding, topped with whipped cream. It totally looks like a candy corn and the kids thought it was so fabulous!
On Halloween we went to Main St. in Huntington. The street is closed down to all cars and the stores pass out candy to the kids. Ben and Summer loved their costumes so much last year that they wanted to wear them again this year - awesome! Summer was a litttle freaked out by the adults that were dressed up but overall we had a great time.

The police department and fire department let the kids sit in their vehicles. Ben wants to be a policeman (on a motorcycle) when he grows up so he thought it was awesome to sit in the police car.


We had some dinner at a BBQ place and then went back to our neighborhood to trick or treat. The kids got sooooo much candy!! Luckily we were able to convince them to give up more than half and Brian took it to work. Whew! Who knows how much I would have eaten if it was in our cupboard!

You seriously look like a model! That pudding idea is fabulous. I'm going to have to do that next year. Summer is a cute little black cat and Ben looks awesome as a bug.

I agree with Carol you do look like a model. The kids look so cute in their costumes. I love the beach pictures too. Wish we were with you guys.
