Happy Halloween

What could have been a not so fun Halloween, ended up turning out really well. These are a few pictures from the day.Logan had been asking to carve the pumpkin all week, but we just kept getting too busy, so finally on Saturday we carved the pumpkin face. :)
I don't think Damon really had any idea what Halloween was about, but he did great following Buddy around.
Tragon was a good sport about the whole thing. I forgot to take off his bib so you could see his Halloween outfit, but oh well.
Since we've been working on the basement, we're at the place where we needed to finally move the TV upstairs to get some things finished...
I sure hope it doesn't stay up here long. And this was a rare TV dinner sort of day while I was trying to get some other things taken care of so we could go trick or treating.
Logan was Batman. The first time we put on the costume, he freaked out an hated it, but then when it was time to actually go out, he kept running around saying, "I am Batman!"
Damon was Robin. I'm glad we got a picture before the glasses broke. It was so cold, he ended up wearing a beanie anyway. :)
Batman and Robin. Logan even called Damon Robin for the night and when he couldn't see Damon he would ask, "Where is Robin?"
Here we are carving the pumpkin.....I still don't think they are quite old enough, I spent the latter part of the carving trying to get them to stop throwing the pumpkin guts on the floor and taking the pumpkin saws away. We survived though and I think it turned out pretty good.
The boys picked out the owl picture from our carving kit. I'm glad too, the other ones would have been a lot more difficult to do with the kids.
And the finished product. We didn't have many trick or treaters. We all went together anyway and just left a bowl on our porch and it was pretty much all there when we got back. We went later than we wanted, but we had to wait for the rain to let up and it finally did. I bundled Tragon and we headed out around the neighborhood. The kids did really good except they still think they are supposed to actually go into the houses, I guess it doesn't help that the first few people we went to were houses that actually did invite us in for a while. :)

Just as we were about done, Damon tripped on the sidewalk and wasn't too happy for the rest of the night. And just like we thought, Morgan ended up carrying the two boys while I had Tragon, the umbrella, and the baskets....yeah, should have grabbed the wagon when we had a chance. Oh well, it worked out and it was a fun night. We got home and put the kids to bed and fell asleep watching a movie. Sunday I woke up with a sore throat, and this morning, Damon woke up with a little cough, so hopefully this week we'll get a chance to rest and recover. Until next time.....
