Halloween October 2013

Avery and Madolyn have been sooo excited for Halloween this year.  Yesterday we baked and decorated Halloween sugar cookies and Tuesday we carved/painted pumpkins, and Monday we make paper pumpkins and they loved doing all the projects and were great working on them.  We had to do them each day during Drew's nap so he wouldn't try to climb up and get into everything.  They both got up early this morning and went straight to the kitchen where they drew, colored and cut Halloween pictures for us.  Then they came in to give them to us.  For costumes Avery wanted to be Ariel and Madolyn a pirate princess.  Drew didn't get to choose, but he was a blue monster which is fitting for him.  They were dressed up all day.  Madolyn had a costume parade at school this morning that we went and watched and then a class Halloween party where she played games and made a Halloween house.  Avery dressed up first thing this morning as well and wore her costume all morning as she and Drew ran errands with me.  For dinner we've kind of made it a tradition to have broccoli soup and bread bowls, and so we continued it this year.  After we got cleaned up, Jordan took the kiddles around the neighborhood trick or treating while I passed out candy at home.  They came home with full buckets for only being gone a short while.  We didn't have a ton of trick or treaters, but a nice amount.  The kids loved answering the door when trick or treaters would come by.  I think they had a fabulous Halloween!
