So I don't know if we have just been really busy or if we were really good at putting things off this last month but I feel like Halloween was stuffed into a week. We had the Hurst family party on the Saturday before Halloween and had so much fun. All the games and food and being with family is so fun. Our game this year was a hit. We got pumpkins for each family and carved them, only with power tools. We even used a paint mixer to gut it. It was pretty fun and there was pumpkin flying everywhere. We gave prizes for the fastest and the cutest. The Toone family carved their pumpkin in 1 min 39 seconds, the longest one took just over 5 minutes... it also won cutest. But for as little time as it took I think they all turned out really cute, makes me wonder why we take so long to carve normal pumpkins.

Then Halloween came. We had picked our family pumpkins the week before or something like that. We had gone to the pumpkin patch after work one night and picked out one for each girl. They had a Halloween trail with games and prizes. They had fun games but it was dark already and a cat wanted to play with the girls so they mostly wanted held and Addi kept saying she wanted to go home. I really have to do something about this fear of cats. Anyways Doug didn't get home till about 6:30 on Halloween night so the girls were dressed and ready to go trick or treating when he got home. Both girls liked getting makeup Macy didn't need any for her costume but she was excited so I put some on her anyways. Addi might have been in her costume all day or at least so kind of princess dress all day so getting her ready was easy. Macy was less then thrilled to be in a princess dress.

I love this picture, it reminds me of when Rapunzel leaves her tower and is laying in the grass face down saying how terrible she is for leaving. Any way she finally got used to the dress and we had no more problems after that.

When we got home from trick or treating we had some dinner and then got to carve our pumpkins. Addison refused to stick her hand in and gut it but liked helping pick what kind of face it needed and carving.

Macy on the other hand was hesitant to gut it but she finally did. Then she made a few cuts with me and was done.

They turned out pretty cute though and the girls loved seeing them all lit up.

It was a fun Halloween and the girls really enjoyed themselves.... and the candy.
