Halloween Fun!

This year was the first year we really did anything Halloween related with Nora. Danielle and Jeff came over on Halloween afternoon and we carved pumpkins. It was loads of fun. Nora wasn't too sure about scooping all the guts out, but she did enjoy eating the roasted pumpkin seeds and looking at the pumpkins all lit up! One of the pumpkins we got was really difficult to cut - we almost had to use a hole saw to get through and make the eyes!

We went trick or treating to just 2 houses. Our street is pretty pathetic and about half the homes are dark on Halloween, so we only had 7 kids! Nora had fun though, and that's what really matters. Next year, we are probably going to trick-or-treat with some of our friends. I also think the sugar sprite might make an appearance next year. I hear that her babies need sugar to survive, so she will happily take the sugary foods a child gets from Halloween and leave a treat (such as a book) for the child!

Here's our little chef on Halloween. She wasn't wishing to wear the chef's hat that night. She was (as you can see) already in her pajamas. Daddy looked pretty good in the chef's hat though!
