Halloween 2008


We had a very nice Halloween this year! Carter was old enough to enjoy it and Emilee isn't too old yet either...and of course Trevor is always up for some fun! I have a bunch of pictures to share and instead of toying with blogger to get them up here one by one I did a quick upload to my photobucket account (click on the link at the bottom of my post). There are a few pictures of Carter a week or so ago, trying to get cute poses with the pumpkins before they were carved...catching a very wiggly toddler remains a difficult feat lol. Cathy...Josh says the expression on one of those Carter pics reminds him EXACTLY of a pic that exists of him when he was about that age?? Carter has LOVED "playing" with the pumpkins on the front porch all week, trying to lift them (with a distict "oooffff!" as he strains with the weight) and sitting on them and doing laps around them. We carved our pumpkins Wednesday night and Carter was intrigued with what we were doing with his favorite orange "balls". Emilee designed her own carving this year, Trevor branched out to something new (the bat) and Carter's pumpkin is the "oooooo" face. The big monkeys had their school parade and parties on Thursday and then last night we headed out with a very tired toddler for trick or treating in some absolutely gorgeous weather! Luckily, Carter has a blast "outside" and he quickly learned that it was pretty cool to walk up to people's doors. He can't say "trick or treat" or "thank you" yet...but he started saying "BYE!" after they dropped a treat in his bucket...it was soooo cute and not only tickled us but all of the homeowners too! Emilee and Trevor came home delighted that they had FULL buckets and they are busy trying to figure out how to hide their treasure from Daddy!


Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!!!

Great costumes! And excellent pumpkin carving skills! Looks like you guys had some great weather too! Last year we didn't have too many trick-or-treaters but this year they were coming out of the woodwork - we had a huge bag of candy and we thought for sure we'd have some left - but we completely ran out by 8pm! What a difference a year makes in our rapidly growing neighborhood! We'll have to seriously stock up next year!
