This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Charlie definitely had the most Halloween activities out of the three kiddos. Between Joy School, play group and wearing costumes to the Children's museums, I can't believe his Target costume held up. First was the Joy School Party:

 Even Batman needs to pick his nose from time to time.

 REALLY cute. Thanks Jenn for the photos!

This year we carved pumpkins with our German neighbors who had never done it before. We did it a little late in the evening so we had a few crying meltdowns, but our jack-o-lanterns turned out cute:).

Here is Charlie with our neighbor Tilly. These two really loved the pumpkins!

 Noah did everything himself. He spent so much time carving away with the safety knife. I couldn't let him use any of our scary serrated kitchen blades. I myself am barely safe with those!

Noah did a great job! He mad a pirate with an eye patch. Presley and I made the witch, but we had to perform a little nose job on her. She still looks great, eh?

Cousins Porter and Elinor came to visit us for the weekend. We did as much as we possibly could in a three day period.

We went to Salem to visit the witch museum, go to haunted houses, and eat carnival food...

We went to gorgeous Walden Pond where Porter took our family pictures for us...

PK and Elli were besties:)

 The highlight was taking to the cobblestones and trick or treating in Beacon Hill.

 We had Batman (Charlie), Ariel (Elinor), a dead princess (Presley), and a skeleton knight (Noah)-my older kids like to be scary!

 

Serious business

It was so late by the time we got home-or at least it felt so late, we all went straight to bed before looking through the candy. Before school yesterday, Noah made his tallies. I don't dare sneak pieces of candy from his bucket. I'm sure he has a mental list of how many of everything he has!
