Halloween was successful yet again. Brett was concerned as to where he was going to trick or treat since moving to the country. Lucky for him we were invited by some friends to go with them in their neighborhood. And even though we had no once coming to the door we still carved pumpkins. I made the boys clean the guts out even though they don't really like too.
Here is there "grossed out" faces.
The boys had to go to bed before the carving was finished, the end result was the surprise the next morning at breakfast. Brett carved most of his and of course I got to do Blake's. Unfortunately he picked a pretty detailed picture this year. All in all they turned out pretty good....until.....
this happened. I had put them out on the front porch and shortly there after I found this. Do you suppose a raccoon, or maybe a very hungry rabbit or a family of mice came by to have a snack? Ummmm no........
this is what ate the pumpkin....a witchy little beagle named Sassy. We were getting ready to leave for football practice so I went to find Sassy to put her away and found her in the front yard chewing on something....a pumpkin chunk!!! Like usual she thought it was a fun game of chase. When I told Brett what happened, he couldn't believe it and then saw it and laughed. I wonder if he would've had the same reaction had it been his brother ruining his pumpkin...my guess is no.
Well when Sassy isn't being naughty she can be a sweet little sunflower. Next year she's getting devil horns.
I attended Blake's halloween party at school. For a 9 a.m. party with 21 kindergartens it was a really fun and nice party. Here is him and his teacher Mrs. Lawrence. We like her a lot, she's very bubbly, super fun and loves her kindergartners.
Later in the day I went back to school to attend Brett's party. Unfortunately his party was a little more lively at 1:30 with 20 4th graders!! His teacher, Mrs. Green, is still on maternity leave but stopped in for the party with her little girl, Lyla the Lobster. Even though Brett has enjoyed the long term sub Mrs. Haenggi, he's looking forward to having Mrs. Green back in the classroom...she's a Kstate fan too!!
Blake the Pirate...and no the sun isn't in his eyes, he's giving his pirate eye.
Brett the Purple Phantom
They're ready to hit the streets.
While the boys went trick or treating with our friends Aubrie and Blaine, I hung out with friend Mel to pass out candy. Her friends she occassionally babysits, Brody and Boston, stopped by to see us. They were the little old man from Up. Super cute!!
The boys came home with bags of candy that we'll never get through or.... shouldn't. Thankfully the librarian at school is collecting candy to send to the troops over seas. We will definately be donating to that cause.
