We carved pumpkins at grandma and grandpa's house this year. Addie loved scooping out the seeds and slime and offered everyone her services for their pumpkins. Jack was mesmerized and just wanted to stroke the pumpkins for longer than my arms would allow. Perhaps he felt a certain kinship towards them since they share a name.
Here are our fabulous jack-o-laterns.
Addie was a bad witch...
...and Jack was a cute tiger cub.
I took Addie and Jack out trick-or-treating while Jason manned the door at home. (That's a broom that Addie made for her costume by my feet.) We walked up the street, crossed, came back down the other side and called it good. Jack fell asleep before we made it home. When we arrived home, Addie immediately dumped out her candy and neatly lined it all up in categorized groups : tootsie rolls, Snickers, suckers, and so on. Then we headed to G&G's house to show off costumes and get more candy. It was a fun night of sugar and spook.
Despite Addie's insistence that I go as a flying monkey or Glinda, the good witch, I lacked the time and energy to actually make any costume. Next year I'd like us all to go as Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, so maybe if I start now...
