Halloween

Everything about Halloween this year was "fooky" (or spooky) as Lydia says it - the pumpkins, costumes, decorations, you name it!  I took the kids over to a "fooky" trail a few days before to take Halloween pics in their costumes - the referee and the lion :)  He was calling penalties while she was roaring!

Lydia had 4 hand-me-down costumes to choose from this year.  She was a bumble bee when we went to her Storytime class at the library.  She also dressed up as a black cat when we went to another Halloween party.

On Halloween, the weather was definitely warmer than it has been in previous years - no hats and mittens required, yay!  The kids both designed their own pumpkins and Phil carved them out for them - so much fun!  Lydia got a ride in the wagon down the block to trick-or-treat, then she and I headed back home while Henry and Phil went out for a while longer.  Henry got home just as I was turning off our lights because we ran out of candy.  My parents were in town and handed out candy for us while we were out.  We figured we had about 100-125 kids come by!
