Halloween

I think I've decided I love this holiday (finally). 

We've never really been big "Hallowe'eners"...but this year, we planned out the kids costumes before Miss G was even here.  And so came Thing 1 and Thing 2...finally...and because we could.  We had some lofty sights of doing an entire family theme, however, lofty sights, a few busy weeks, and the typical crazy life of 2 young kids, did not equal completed (or started?) adult costumes!  Nonetheless, Glen found some makings for the Cat in the Hat, and off they went along the street: The Cat, and his two side kicks: Thing 1 and Thing 2!
That's some serious cuteness kicking...all 3 of them! 
There was a full family effort put toward our 2 pumpkins...

Miss G trying to EAT the pumpkin (c'mon- you don't get cheeks like that without trying!)

 (and if I only knew how to rotate these pics the right way on this program...)

Thomas the Tank Engine (Mommy's creation) and Lightning McQueen (Daddy's artistic pumpkin work) were born!

Finished products out on the porch in time for the Trick or Treaters... 



Rowan managed to Trick or Treat the entire court- a pretty darn good feat for a 2-year old!  Miss G was along for the ride in the Bjorn, but exhausted when they returned home at 7pm and hit the hay while her big brother stayed up until 9pm doleing out candy to all the trick or treaters. 

Rowan woke up this morning asking if it was "Trick or Treat Time".  Um, nope Rowan...not for awhile.
