Halloween Fun

Evan was so excited to carve our pumpkins this year! In fact, he wanted to carve each pumpkin as soon as he got it! We convinced him to wait to carve the pumpkins until the weekend before Halloween. Everyone helped this year, including Preston, which was adorable! He wants to do everything just like his big brother! We carved one scary pumpkin and one happy pumpkin and Evan even enjoyed eating the fruit from the white pumpkin, which was really sweet, just like a cantaloupe.

All three boys had fun carving the pumpkins!

"Let me help!"

"This is so much fun!"

"What is inside of the pumpkin?"

"Seeds!"

"Yummy!" The inside of the white pumpkin was so sweet and delicious!

Our pumpkins turned out great! My favorite one was the happy one, but Evan really liked the scary one!

As always, our neighborhood Halloween party was lots of fun. Evan really like decorating his pumpkin this year and he spent a lot of time making his "ocean" pumpkin. Preston on the other hand hand NO interest in decorating his pumpkin. He just wanted to run around and jump in the bounce house!

Evan found his good friend Jackson, so he he walked with him in the costume parade. (Jackson is the knight.)

Preston enjoyed "riding" in the costume parade.

This little man was so cute that he convinced a friendly police officer to offer him some fruit snacks. He was thrilled and ran off to eat his treat!

Halloween day/night was really unusual this year. There was a really bad storm that had the chance of producing winds up to 60 miles per hour. Obviously, this made trick or treating dangerous, so it was moved to Friday night instead of Thursday. We did still manage to have lots of fun on Halloween day/night! Evan had a fall party at school and then we had a pumpkin shaped pizza for dinner. Afterwards, we had a candy hunt in the dark, using flashlights!

Evan and I both enjoyed his fall party at school! (It was also pajama day at school. How fun!)

"Happy Halloween!"

Preston LOVED this Monsters Inc. hat and onesie! What a cutie pie!

We got to see both sets of grandparents on the day of trick or treating! We went to Grammy and Granddaddy's house before trick or treating to get some cake and to play. Later, Bonnie Mom and Grandpa came over to see the boys and to help play with Preston once he was done with trick or treating. They had a great time!

I should also add that on the day of trick or treating, there was Donuts with Dad at school! Evan was so excited to get to take Daddy to school! They both enjoyed a special breakfast at school, as well as visiting the book fair, where Evan selected books for himself, as well as for Preston! What a sweet boy!
