Halloween Happenings

Halloween has come and gone. The kids had sooo much fun! We started out the Halloween festivities (I refuse to call it a holiday because it is not a day I normally get off from work, therefore it is not a "holiday") by carving our pumpkins. Jacob decided he wanted a Captain Hook pumpkin. He then "helped" Madison pick out Pablo from the Backyardigans for her pumpkin. Here are our pumpkin pics...

I also carved an "Old Smokey" pumpkin for our neighbors that I didn't get a picture of. I know, I know...it goes against everything in me as an Alabama fan. But they are HUGE Tennessee fans and they are really good friends. I do have a confession...I don't think I could have carved that pumpkin if we hadn't beat them the weekend before. (Roll Tide!)

The next night we had our Trunk or Treat at our church. Maddie was "Big Al" (or I guess I should say "Little Al") and Jacob was "Captain Hook".

My favorite "trunk" was the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". Christie was the witch, David was the lion, and they had their trunk decorated as the wardrobe. Best part...they served hot chocolate! Here's a good picture of David. Unfortunately I didn't get one of the witch or the wardrobe.

Jacob decided Wednesday morning that he didn't want to be Captain Hook anymore. He wanted to be Darth Vader. He eventually decided to be Red Power Ranger after realizing his Darth Vader suit was still too big. Maybe next year. Then that night we had our annual hayride through the neighborhood. The kids had fun trick or treating. Maddie even got the hang of it, although her favorite part was the "ride".
