We had a lot of fun carving pumpkins this year and did more than we've done in years. Actually I shouldn't take any credit--I simply cleaned out the pumpkins. James did the incredible carving. And most of it was drawn free hand! He's amazing!
The costume theme in our house this year was Avengers. Nathan was Captain America and Cameron was Hulk. I have to say their costumes were pretty cute. My brother and Carly even got in on the action dressing as Thor and Black Widow. My favorite part was Thor's wig.
Unfortunately it was the worst weather for trick or treating--windy, rainy and cold. Despite that our crew pressed on. Cam trick-or-treated at a couple houses for his first time--mostly went around to see our neighbors. Nate went with James and met up with some friends at the top of the Ridge where the trick or treating is insane. People drive in from all areas just to trick or treat up there. He had an awesome time and came home with quite the loot. He barely even noticed that the weather was terrible. My mom and I had the rough job of staying in our cozy house and passing out candy.
It was a fun holiday because so much of our family came over to join in the fun. And Nate got to trick or treat with some of his friends from preschool for the first time which was great. And of course there's already talk of what costumes will be next year. Star Wars? Fireman? We shall see....
