Halloween!

We had a very fun Halloween. Maddie had a blast, and Ryan loved going along for the ride and the free candy. Maddie loved trick or treating and thinks we should do it again next week, and has already planned out her and her brother's costumes.
The kids had a blast at their Halloween party as grandma's and grandpa's. It included a fish pond game, and pin the nose on the pumpkin, as well as lots of yummy food and decorating pumpkin rice krispie treats.
Earlier in the week we carved pumpkins. It was a lot of fun. But, not so much for Ryan. He was getting pretty frustrated that he couldn't use a sharp cutting tool and that it was taking so long. Maddie was absolutely ecstatic when we lit her pumpkin outside.
My favorite part of the night though, was this conversation that took place right after Nate cut the lid for the pumpkin.
Maddie: Is it a Jack-0-lantern yet?
Nate: No, first we have to put our hands inside and pull out all that stuff.
Maddie: (pause and gross face) No way am I doin' that!
Ryan on the other hand, no problem.Also, earlier this week Maddie was able to meet her new cousin for the first time. All day long she kept saying "Oh, he's so cute!" She would not leave that baby's side the whole night long. She was thrilled to see him. Thanks for sharing him with us, Packers!
