Halloween

Pumpkins

Kyle and I decided that carving pumpkins would be too much of a mess so we colored them. Here are Zachary and Eric with their pumpkins. Zachary had a great time drawing lined all the way around the pumpkin and then stabbing it with the markers. Eric drew a lot of different things including a heart, rocket, and "scary things." I think both of these pictures show my boys personalities. Zachary is smiling, but not looking. He is often happy, but very seldom concentrating on what we think he should be. Eric on the other hand is proud to show what he accomplished. He loves creating things and being recognized for it.

Trick or Treat

The kids had a great time dressing up for Halloween. Zachary has wanted to be a ghost for quite awhile. On Wednesday he had his preschool Halloween party and insisted on having a pillowcase with eyes cut out on his head. After that experience, we were able to talk him into letting us paint his face white. Eric wanted some paint too, so he got a mask to conceal his superhero identity. Wendy was so cute in her penguin costume. The weather was not super cooperative and it rained the entire time we were out. Wendy only came to a few houses. She did not like putting the candy in her bag, she wanted to hold it all. After we took Wendy home and dressed a little warmer the boys, and I went back out; the boys made quite the haul.
