Halloween 2012

We had a great Halloween!

We started the day off by heading to the community center for our neighborhood playgroup Fall Fest. 

The girls had lots of fun jumping in the bounce house and painting pumpkins.

 

 That evening the girls put on their costumes and went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Almost everyone was passing out candy!

Olivia wasn't a fan of her costume at first but she quickly forgot about it once she started getting candy.

Dustin took the girls around our side of the neighborhood while I stayed home to pass out candy. We had quite a few kids come by and I think we will have more next year since there won't be construction on our block.

Trick or Treat!

This morning we carved our albino pumpkin. I have never seen a WHITE pumpkin before! Let me just say this thing was much harder to carve than your normal orange pumpkin. We had planned on carving "Trick or Treat" on the front but once we got started we figured out it was not going to work. The pumpkin is about 2 inches thick and the little pieces of the letters were just not coming out. So we did our best to turn it into a face.

We took Grace on-base to trick or treat this evening. First stop was a friends house. We were a little early but we wanted to make sure they didn't run out of candy before Grace stopped by!

She kept pointing to where the candy was and wanting more!

Then we went to another neighborhood for more trick or treating. It rained the entire time! We decided that after visiting a friends house we would put the camera away for the night since we were all getting wet and it was dark. Grace got a bag of candy and she ate a twizzler on the way home.

When we got home we took some candy to our neighbors. We bought a couple bags to hand out but not a single person stopped by. I guess the rain kept everyone away.

This was our third Halloween being married and we have not ever had a little kid come to our door to trick or treat. The first year we lived in an apartment complex in El Paso. Last year we were in Hawaii. We thought we might get a few kids come by after we got home tonight but the neighbors told us it has been a quiet night here. I guess maybe next year?
